Thought of another quick one.

I need new tires and like the hydro edge we have on my wife's car. The tire man says I have to run "h" rated tires on the s60. Will it really make a difference? I'm no drag racer but I do put a lot of miles on.

 

Not having the correct rated tyres on your S60 could very well have an affect on your insurance. Your T rating tyre isn't as high a spec as the H rated. The rating isn't just for speed, it's also for cornering forces, acceleration forces and braking forces that your car can produce.

I'm not sure, but i'd guess your local tyre man may also be in trouble if he fits the wrong spec tyre to your car.

Go for the H rating, and be safe.
