Default Michelin Primacy MXV4

I'm considering replacing my original Bridgestone Turanza (215/55r17) tires of my 08 ES 350. I've narrowed it down to this Michelin tire. Should I go with the H or the V rated tire? Other than cost, what are the advantages/disadvantages of both ratings. Also, would I be able to go with a 225/55r17 tire? Any comments/suggestions are appreciated? Thanks.

Depends on you and your driving style really. It sounds like you may be more of a ride oriented instead of a performance oriented driver. In that case the 225/55 17 would be the best size and the "H" rated would be the best speed rating. We have those for $159 each plus shipping and there is a $60 rebate with Michelin right now.
