Geo and Deanyel,

Thank you very much for your input. I will also check other places since there are not many choices at Costco (Though I like their service.) If I go with H rated tires, I have to get tires from a place other than Costco. The guy at Costco said that requirement of a V rated tire is in consideration of both the limit of speed AND braking performance. The V rated tires are softer (wearing faster) so they are better in braking and handling. Any thought?

I double checked my car and manual. The OEM tire size indeed is 195/60/15 (requires v rated tires).

Best,

Puhong
