H and V Sped Rating On Tires

Oct 15, 2012 0 Replies

Hello,



Have a 2005 Accord, 6 cyl. Live in New England.



A general question re the H or V speed rating on passenger "all season" tires:



Everything else remaining the same,is there any difference in snow conditions, or on ice, for one rating over the other for the same model tire ?



e.g., might the different compound in one be softer, and thus "a bit" better on snow or ice ?



And, is the H or V for a tire usually embossed on the sidewall ? Is there some code for, or is an actual H or V there (or somewhere) ?



Thanks, Bob
