Will different speed rating effect handling?
Here's the deal. I traded my 95 gsr wheels to some guy for 98 gsr wheels. i noticed on the way hoime, that with the new wheels, my car pulls to the left, especially under heavy acceleration. so i look at the tires, all the pressure is right, and then i notice that all 4 tires are 205-50- 15, and all are rated v except the front right one which is a dunlop, and it is rated h. so i switch the front 2 wheels and take it on the road, and sure enough , now it is pulling right. so is my solution just to buy one new v rated tire and put it on the wheel which had the h rated one?

It seems like you're having what's called "Radial Pull". It's when two different tread pattern tires are on the front... Switch the dunlop to the back, it should make the steering feel better. Also that H rated tire is rated to go up to 100mph....so take it easy till you get the right tires on the car.
