The H-rated tires are wannabe performance tires rated to a top speed of 130 mph. They're a cross between a grandma tire and a high-performance tire. They do last longer than Z-rated tires, but that's because they aren't true high-performance tires. You give up high-performance handling for a smoother ride. They don't hold the road as good on corners because the sidewalls are soft and they overheat and distort sooner at high speeds.

 

I have the ContiSportContact2s. the handling and the noise level are perfect. I have 8200 miles on them at the moment and they are in excellent condition.

 

What is their speed rating?

 

It is W, it should be 168 mph.

 

Nice tires. They shouldn't last too long.

 

hmm what is your estimate?
