Hi All,
Finally getting new rubber for my 04' stock rear wheel. Looking at the Metzeler's but confused by the ratings. The OEM's have a V rating. When I look at the big selling sites, I see the Metzeler 880 170/80/15 have an H or HB rating? Can I use these? Not sure what the HB rating even means.
I understand the V is for speeds beyond 140 MPH, but I don't go that fast... Understand that H is for 130 MPH and that would seem to be fitting... just curious of what I'm really giving up by going to that rating???
Thanks for all the help!
Mike
