    I was looking at SummitRacing and loved the Cooper GT RWL and decided to google the difference between that and BF Goodrich AT. Turns out I had no idea there were speed ratings on tires.
    The Cooper is rated T and the BF is rated S. reading more online, only buy at least H rating? They say there is a one piece cap that is important with tire trouble.

    Can anyone help me with this?
    I need 225/65r16, 255/65r16
    If it is possible to have RWL that would be great, for some reason I love them.
    Oh yeah price range between 100 and 150 per tire if possible. I live in So. Cal and probably won't see snow.

    I had already thought of them. It seems people don't want to carry tires for me. Bleh.

    I don't really want to different kinds of tire on front and back. But it looks like I might have to.
    I can find the size I want in 15" if I were to go that route but it doesn't have the H rating.
