I'm looking at a new set of tires, most likely the Michelin LTX series (255/55/18 to match what's on the vehicle now). I can pick up a reasonably priced set from Costco, but they're available in either H (130mph) or V (over 130mph) rating. The cost difference isn't huge ($17 a tire), and the rest of the ratings, like load, is identical.
My question - can any one think of a reason that an MDX would benefit from a V-rated tire? I regularly drive it at 80mph (living in the west) but can say with absolute certainty that it's never gonna see 131mph (unless I take a wrong turn and drive off the edge of the Grand Canyon).
