Going from an OEM "V" rated tire to an "H"...Is this okay?
#11
I have the Bridgestone Turanza LS-"H" tires on my 03. They are slightly larger in diameter, a good bit heavier, and I think a more durable tire than the Michelins. When I bought the tires, at 47k miles, they were great. They were just as quiet as the "V" rated michelins, rode just as smooth, and had much more grip, especially in the wet. However, as the miles have added up, and the tread has worn down, they have become louder and louder on certain road surfaces. Bridgestone changed the name to "Serenity", so I hope they changed the tread pattern to reduce the road noise, for your sake. I have only 35k miles on them, but the noise is starting to get to me. I don't know if I can wait another 10-20k miles to replace them. Other than the noise issue, the "H" rated tires have been great. The Firestone store seemed to have no problem putting them on my Accord.
