Hi,
I was going to get some new tires on my wife's o6 mini, and the ones I have been looking at were some Nokian WRG2, and I noticed they have an 84R rating, compared to the 84H rating I see on her current tires.
Is it important to get "H" rated tires ( I know what the speed difference show for the 2 ratings ) or does it matter ?

I don't see anything lower than T-rated ...

H-rated are available ... why don't you want to stick with the OEM spec?

They are supposed to be "R" rated according to the quote I have, so I guess I will have to double-check them out before the installation tomorrow.
Seems there aren't too many places that carry 175/65R15 in stock around here.
My Mini dealer is over 100 miles away, it's a pain getting there and having to book an appointment and waiting all day is annoying, plus their prices are quite high.

You can fit 185/65-15 or 195/60-15 instead.

Thanks for the response/s !
I think I just may cancel my order until I've done more searching, especially after reading up on what the different speed ratings mean.
Thanks again.

With speed ratings isn't it the case of as long as it's above the minimum rating then it will be fine?

Yes, thats what the tyre specialist told me too and it was backed up by Land Rover in my case.
