We (for my wife) purchased a used Ford Fusion SEL, 4 cylinder automatic yesterday. I'm lucky it has almost new tires (Firestone Firehawk). I guess Ford selected the size for looks, and was stuck with all being V rated. Factory fitment, as I understand it, was Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 225/50-17 94V.
This is not another thread on lowering the speed rating ... with a software 114 MPH limit, I understand, H really would be more than fine ... but WOW the prices for almost any tire, and all in V rating.
Why are quite a few of that size XL rated?
