H.....LOL think about it with common sense bro....same H rated tires if ur cruising at a 100km/h, no matter on a rwd/fwd or awd car its the same. yes rubber compound is different, obviously the h rated tires will have a softer compound therefore it drives worse on dry roads. but wat im saying is if ur crusiing at a normal speed there arent much of a difference.

Do yourself a favor and Google "speed rating". Its not about compound. As speed rating goes up so does ability to withstand increased lateral pressure.....sidewalls are stiffer. Entire tire is firmer so car isnt wobbly when you change lanes at highway speeds.

do yourself a favor and try to listen to others, does a minivan weight more or our cars? what makes our car create more lateral pressure if ur changing lane at the same speed? Dr. Speed rating?

With your logic, what's even the point of buying WS70's. You can buy cheap Chinese winter tires that will probably be just as stable driving in a straight line on the highway as your WS70's. The reason why it is recommended to install an H-rated or above winter tire on a BMW is because whether you have a RWD or X-drive, the car(especially on dry roads), is propelled by the rear wheels. Anyone that's owned BMW's in the past know that the rear tires always wear out much quicker than the front tires. This is why you need the extra stability in a tire. A winter tire that is too soft will make the car less stable and you will definitely wear them out much quicker. It's for that reason that a tire with a rating lower than H is ideal for front wheel drive cars, where all the weight is lifted off the propelling front tires and put on to the "trailing" rear tires. Now I'm not saying that it is unsafe running a tire with a speed rating lower than H on a BMW. It is safe, and it is fine, but it is not recommended. |

I think YOU should buy ws70 or the van tire. Would look good on you. You are either arguing for the sake of arguing or you have absolutely no clue about what you are speaking. I'm assuming the latter. I bet I have been driving on snow/winter conditions longer than you have been alive...just a hunch.
