I never go over 130mph, so the "H" works fine for me!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

 

Same choice with the Pirelli ROF - I went with H for 3 reasons: I very rarely see triple digit speeds, the tire is 5 pounds lighter, and cheaper than the "V" rated shoe.

 

Those are good reasons, Blown. Higher speeds need heavier tire construction.

Now, x rated....you have to ask the man who knows where the strippers and pole dancers are. :joke:

Are you da man Murgie? I didn't think WV was known for their strip clubs :joke:


Anyway, speed ratings are for sustained speeds, and you can bet there is a safety factor built in on top of that.

 

Hey Jeff, are you from WV?

Also agree with Murgie on the tire info...good stuff. Especially the lighter weight.:thumbup:

Nope...but it is sounding like it could be worth the ride over there :yes:

Ok geting rid of Dunlop 195/55/16 RF Good tire not enough mileage out of it. Going with Goodyear Triple Tread 91XXX. Follow Murgie he nows where the poles are 4::wrong:

 

V rated has a stiffer sidewall. If you are doing a tradeoff between a RF and a NRF, the V is closer to the RF, the H closer to the NRF... Imho this tire in any rating is a good medium weight tire. My preference is the V-rated TT.

 

I ride H.
