Hi All,
Time for new tires on wife's 2016 Honda Pilot EXL - AWD. Size is 245-60/18.
Current worn tires are Michelin Defender LTX, which we love in all regards except for impact harshness; gonna fix that now.
Looking to buy Continental CrossContact LX25's but can't decide between H or T rating because tires have other slight differences:
Both made in US (assuming same plant) and have same load capacity (2,039 lbs.), treadwear (740) and "A" traction rating.
Differences are max inflation pressure (51 psi for H-rated, 44 psi for T-rated) and temperature rating (A for the H-rated, B for the T-rated).
I'm thinking the T-rated may have a slightly softer ride and that's the only reason I'm considering it.
Open for discussion - I'd appreciate any insight (hoping CapriRacer jumps in at some point)!
Happy Independence Day, Everyone!
