Leadwolf56 Posted May 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2010 Charlie, The H rated tire has a higher load rating, the V rated has a higher speed rating. Get the 80H, it's better for heavier loads and pulling trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibvel Posted May 28, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2010 H is a lower speed rated but higher weight rated tire. V is a higher speed rated but lower weight rated tire. From what Goose says the H will last quite a bit longer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted May 28, 2010 Share #5 Posted May 28, 2010 Here's what Avon tech support said to me when I asked them. From: "Fahey, Sukoshi" sfahey@avonmoto.com To: steyrhahn@yahoo.com Dear Randy, The V rated tire is designed for the Yamaha V Max. It has a stickier compound so it gets a bit less mileage and has less of a load rating as that is not as crucial on this bike as it would be on a tour deluxe. V speed is 149 mph vs H rated which is 130 mph. The handling of the tires is the same for agility and easy turn in. At lower speeds load could be quite similar but I don’t have test results for that so I can’t quote you anything. For your bike I would stick with the H rated tire, especially since the front is H rated so you have a match.

Scooter Bob Posted May 28, 2010 Share #6 Posted May 28, 2010 Rear tire....150/90B15.80H This has a air pressure capacity of 50lbs I am changing my first one of these out today. It could probably go another couple k yet, but I have a 4k trip starting next week. This tire already has 15k on it, and you bet, I'm putting on another one.
