Re: Dunlop D60A2's

Al,

I just put my second set of D60A2s on my urQ.  I am generally happy with
them, though they have been tricky to get balanced unless it's my car.

The speed ratings, H vs V, are related to how fast you plan to drive.
Unless you plan to exceed the H speed rating, you won't have a problem.
There's nothing inherent in the design of the car that requires a
particular rating, other than the car's speed potential.
