how important is the speed rating?
US GT's came with V rated tires. Anyone notice any difference in handling if you have changed to a slower speed rating? Most of the online shops that sell rims have NICE deals on rims and tire packages but the tires are some cheap off brand R rated tires. |

Higher speed rating makes your car more stable and better steering at high speed. It also makes your ride a bit harsh due to stronger side wall. Never drive faster than speed rating on your tires.
