1995 850 Wagon - non-Turbo

Volvo recommends V-rated tires, what will I loose or risk if H-rated were put into it. Some stores refuse to even put in H-rated when manufacturer recommends V-rated, others do not care.

Advise or opinion is needed.

Does tire speed rating matter?

 

The speed rating will only matter if you are planning on driving on the autoban.V rated tires are rated to I think 170mph and the h rated to I think 140mph.When I worked at the dealership we would replace V rated tires with H rated all day long.

 

Thank you, that helps. I drive this car to work and back and within speed limits and therefore will get H-rated tires.

 

You may not even feel the diffrence between the tires.There is not problems with installing the H-rated tires.

YOUR WELCOME

 

No probs unless you live in the UK or Germany where fitting tyres which differ from the manufacturers recommendations can invalidate your insurance. [:-]

 

Thank you for all the advice. The h-rated tire work great, good smooth ride.

 

No problem anytime.
