Hello all, I'm looking for new tires for the Acura. The tires that are on the car are Michelin Pilot HX 215/50-17 "V" rated.
I was thinking, Do i really NEED "V" rated tires? around $227 a tire for the Michelin's, and i need 4, So 908 + Tax and all that i'm looking at a total of $1,058. This is with the dealer ship. They told me they legally they can not put H rated tires on a car that calls for V rated tires..
How would Sears be? I called them, and they told me that They have Michelin PRIMACY MXV4 tires in my size, and they can put "H" rated tires on the car, and the dealer was only trying to sell the "V" rated tires. Total out the door at sears is 890.51 ($168.14/tire,$56 M&B) also is only 30 miles away, The dealer is over 100 miles away...

Would there be any negative affects of putting "H" rated tires on this car? The guy a sears told me the "H" rated tires are a little softer, as in the side wall, also can only go 130 VS the 149.
Thanks!!
