2011 Subaru Impreza 2.5I Premium Tires
I have a 2011 Subaru Impreza 2.5I Premium and it has 205/55 R16 94H tires on it. The manual says it should have 205/55 R16 87V tires. Are the 94H tires ok and safe?

2011 Subaru Impreza 2.5I Premium Tires
Thank you but I did google it. I’m only asking because I want someone else’s opinion. I’m not a tire expert and would like something more specific than a google search. Some say they are ok for the car some say they are not.

The car says to have 87V. So if you look at that website 87 is rated at 1250 lbs vs 94 which is rated at 1400 lbs per tire.
So the tires can have a greater weight before they are compromised. V tires are rated to 140mph H are rated to 130mph. So you can have 1000 more lbs than stock and can go up to 130 mph. I would say they are fine. Unless you plan on going faster than 130 if your car will get there. |

Awesome and thank you. That makes sense now. I just wanted to make sure it was ok. The tires were cheaper than what I had on there before. I lost gas mileage and the ride is much louder and more rough than the old tires. |

Cheap tires can just be loud on their own, also if hey have a lot of open space they will usually be louder
