How much does Tire Speed Rating affect tire wear & handling?
I'm looking to buy 4 new tires for my 04 Solara SE. I am considering the Michelin Primacy MXV4 215/55R-17 94H RRBL, which has a speed rating of H. The current tires are V rated.
I was told by a guy (trying to sell me another brand, with a speed rating of V) that the lower H-rated tires will not handle as well as V-rated tires, and that they will wear more on the outside edges.
Is this sales talk or credible?
Thanks for your help.
