No longer a race car driver want to be, I enjoy the 195/65 tires. These are the base tires for Volvo, usually 15 inch wheels. Great for wet and snow, and gets reasonable mpg.

Volvo also has the 205/55/16 and a 17 inch wheel on some go fast models. These wheels usually don't do well in deep pot holes, as the wheels can get damaged along with the tire sidewall.

You are correct about the H rating. It is plenty fast for me and the tread usually lasts longer and is cheaper to purchase. Canada has a 100Km speed limit on most roads (62 mph), whereas the USA can be up to 85 in West Texas. Still well within the bounds of the H rating.

The V,W,Z ratings are for the Autobahn, not the USA.
