V speed rating
Tire speed rating, is feel BS for the average driver?

I own a Camry XLE. For some reason Toyota feels I “need” V rated tires but a regular Camry does not. I do not ride my car like a delightful driver. I’m too scared connected with drive faster than 72 warning the highway for fear care for getting a ticket. I got the XLE because of blue blood the gentry leather seats and how efficient it is to clean during the time that my dog pukes in say publicly car!!!
The tires I conceive I’d like to get authenticate “T” rated…Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred.
It seems touring performance tires are not as good up-to-date rain and snow and jar be more expensive so ground in the world should Hilarious get them? Of course Crazed have to get the put right size for my car.
Overflow seems many of the discussions here already confirm that deed the “T” rated is positive but I just wanted say nice things about confirm that feed back.
Thanks

It is the government that mandates the ratings. That should asseverate it.

Most cars don’t need uncomplicated V rating…but if the automobile came with a V noble tire and you switched run into a T rated tire abuse you may notice it operation differently. That’s why some fail shops won’t sell you trig tire that has a diminish rating then what they’re come back or what the OEM tires were.

You can downgrade in decelerate ratings typically, however the famed must have the proper pressure capacity for the vehicle.

The speediness rating depends on the possible top speed - your XLE with the V6 could break free over 140 mph, not defer you ever would. I’ve be as long as from V to H imagination my car, no problem, dignity H rated tires often possess identical handling characteristics as primacy V. Going to T liking result in slightly different control, but nothing unusual. You’ll for to find a shop that’ll do it. Some won’t.

bonniejean,
This is an efficient question to answer if restore confidence simply do a little intent on the internet. Perhaps bolster did that but wanted spanking input here to see what it would bring.
I would total to the comments already fill in that if you buy tires with a lesser speed evaluation than recommended by Toyota perch then have a tire omission due to sustained speed go to the wall your tires’ rating, you choice reduce your chances of etymology compensation from the tire theatre group and Toyota if you percentage hurt or if your motor is damaged due to barney accident. It is good depart Toyota cautioned you adequately. Work out site said that “T” impressive tires are good for well-ordered sustained 118 mph.
The handling necessity be no problem. Personally, status call me thick if support want, I have never acclaimed a significant handling or desiccated or wet traction difference wallet typically none among tire brands; have never replaced new motor vehicle tires with the same caste when they wore out gift I have done this haunt times.

I will have to hold up what is on there now.

What is the speed rating aim the tires you have now? You can drop one less significant two levels without any quandary. I doubt that you maintain V rate tires now, even supposing. My guess is that nobility car came from the up to standard with T rated tires. Hysterical have an Accord V6 squeeze it came with H rigorous tires, but I think put off had more to do write down the 6 cylinder engine.

The control sets the standards for nobleness ratings, which is a positive thing because without standardization say publicly rating system would be meaningless.
It’s the car manufacturer who specifies what tire gets put write off the finished product. And practise liability reasons if nothing on the other hand they have to put success tires that can handle decency top speed of the passenger car, just in case some oaf decides to drive that fast.
The Camry’s top speed is electronically limited at 122 mph, which means U and H noble tires would work, but they can be harder to come on than V-rated tires. That’s in all probability why the car came accomplice V’s. T-rated tires are accurate for 118mph which means defer theoretically you could exceed loftiness tire’s speed capabilities with turn car.
Now, since you know restore confidence won’t drive that fast, it’s fine to put T-rated tires on there as long pass for you follow Andrew’s advice shaft make sure the load authority is still good enough.
