tire speed rating different on each axle ?
 
I am looking at getting two new tires in the next few days because two fo my tires still have a good 10k left on them but the other two maybe have a few hundred miles left if that because of how worn down they are.
This isn't about what tire to get I know what tires I want Micheline Premier is what I have driven on since they discontinue the MXV4 in the H rated for my size.
However, i am going to get them at the Lexus dealership because I can get 50 of 2 tires and they come with road hazard through Lexus, not the dealer, so I like that.
However, the Micheline Premier they have in my size Lexus only sells it in a V rated not an H rated.
I know the side wall material build up is different its a bit stiffer of a side wall on the V than the H
I know not to mix speed ratings on the same axle however if I get the 2 new V rated tires and put those on the Front and have the 2 old H-Rated on the back or have the H in front and V in back is this a dangerous game to mess with or as long as the speed rating is on the same axle its fine ?
It's not like I'm going to be driving 130 MPH I think the most I ever get up to is like 90mph at most usually so I should be fine I am thinking but
what do you guys all think am I asking for trouble switching speed ratings?

Not a problem and in fact you can get 4 different speed rated tires and as long as the tread is similar it's not an issue.
