I took my Subaru Outback for an oil change yesterday. They called to say that the tires were about worn out. He has always seemed honest in the past, so I told him to go ahead.
He put V speed rated tires on; Subaru recommends H. From what I have read, V is good for 130mph and H is good to 149mph. H has stiffer sidewalls and will give better handling, while V will be more comfortable. My wife is unlikely to drive much over 75.
Does it matter?
I called Subaru and they told me to talk to a dealer. The dealer will obviously tell me I should have gotten my tires from him and I absolutely need H.
Anyone actually know about these things?
