Default Nokian WR G3 SUV 235/55 R 18 104 H XL Tires

I have a 2009 RX 350 AWD with 18" wheels. I am looking at Nokian WR G3 SUV 235/55R18 for replacement tires. This tire is coming up as incompatible with the RX. I don't see the incompatibility. Can anyone provide insight? Thanks.

The size is correct.
The load rating is correct.
The speed rating is correct.

Don't know why they would not be correct for the RX. Who/what/where/How is saying they are not compatible? Maybe Toyota doesn't like Finland.

Speed rating of the nokian is h. Original equipment on RX is speed rating v. Sometimes on manufacturers websites they only recommend original rating. H is 130 mph, which is plenty. Call your installer and ask if they will install. You'll be fine
