Tires: V vs H rated tires, 2007 toyota avalon, toyota avalon
QuestionIf my 2007 Toyota Avalon recommends a "V" tire what is the issue if I put "H" tires on the car?
AnswerTerry,
There are 2 issues:
1) The higher the speed rating the safer the tire. In order to get a higher speed rating, the tire has to be built better.
2) The higher the speed rating - as a general rule - the better the cars grips and handles. Some consider this a safety issue as well.
