I am considering the Yokohama Avid Ascend tires for a vehicle.
For the 195/60-15 size, they are available in both a T-rated and H-rated configuration.
The H-Rated version has a 75k treadwear warranty, while the T-Rated version has a 85k warranty. Both tires are Grand Touring tires.
My understanding is that the H-rated version should have more reinforcement compared to the T-rated version. I would not think the compound is substantially different.
With that said, for the same brand/model tire, will/should the H-rated version always:
1) Handle better than the T-rated version? If so, why?
2) Will it always be a different compound? If so, why? I thought H-rated vs T-rated is simply an issue of reinforcement.
Thanks!
