    From what I gather tires with a high speed rating are harder than the proper speed rating tires. The high speed rating tires are too hard and do not wear evenly.

    The potensas cupped the Michelin X Radials did not cup. The difference is the speed rating.

    I would think they would get a better commission if they sold me a more expensive tire with a higher speed ratting.

    We are in Colorado, so cold/snow/ice in winter. We have been very happy with the Continental ProContact Eco Plus tires for year round use. Am on the third set and no reason to switch.
