T Rated Tire 850

Hello,

I am looking to replace my current tires with the *lowest* noise tires possible. The highways in Washington state are rutted, resulting in hearing damaging radio volume levels.

I expect T rated tires, 118mph, to contibute significantly less to noise than H rated tires, 130mph.

Does anyone have experience with breaking the H rating recomendation, and using T speed rated tires?

In general, I am reading conflicting information from the tirerack.com site, and consumer reports. Advice would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Aaron, 1995 850 Wgn 102,000miles; Dunlop D60 A2 195/60HR15 ~34,000miles.
