Default Tire size

I was wondering if tires: P205/60R16 91H is okay to use on the original rims of a 99 accord coupe ex v6, which i believe is P205/60R16 91V.

My new tires say Kumho P205/60R16 91H.
Honda recommended is P205/60R16 91V.

I was wondering because I notice a slight vibration over 60mph and this is after numerous rotations and balance at differnt tire shops. Would the different ratings cause the vibrations? These are new tires btw. Thanks.

The ratings just show the heat that the tire can handle. H-rated can handle the heat strains of 150mph. V is much higher. Unless you plan to drive faster that 150, you have nothing to worry about.

Have you tried getting an alignment to correct the vibration?

yeah your referring to the speed rating. what you have is the exact same size that you started with. if your vibrating, its not because of your new tires. something on your suspension is off.

Those tires would be fine and might even give you better performance because of the wider wheel base. Youre at the max, tires shouldnt be more that 20mm wider than the factory recommended ones, and youre right there. so mount and be happy!

Yes, I got an alignment. What else is there to check for ? Engine mounts, suspension, etc? I need some answers.
