Tire Rating...request for authoratative source S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Rick (rickansaldo@yahoo.com) on  Tue Jan 4 06:51 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I'm having a problem with BJ's and Sam's club. I have 2 T5 wagons, a 1999 and a 2001. Both came from Volvo with H rated Michelins. Sam's Club and BJ's wholesale club both use a Michelin manual which says the car specs are for a V tire. This really limits your tire choices and eliminates some of the best choices. I can't find any info from Volvo which confirms any specific rating. It's frustrating. If I needed rims I'd just order from tire rack, but since the tire deals at the warehouses rebalance regularly for the one tire deal fee, they are a good choice. I'm pretty sure I'm about to misrepresent my model to them when ordering the tires....that way I can buy H rated tires. Sam's club does not stock, but will order BF goodrich traction TA's. Read up on those in tirerack. Very different than Touring TAs. If you find an authortation reference quickly...please steer me toward it. (I'm a suspicious son of a gun...I suspect Michelin fudged this thing to force us back to their tires....and if i can prove it, I'm gonna bust their balls right back again.)

Can anyone show me an authoratative source on tire ratings, other than Michelin?
