Default Which tires to get?

ok, i dont know a lot about tires, and from what i have noticed i need H rated tires. my questions are: do i have to have H rated tires, since i am only replacing one? if i dont get an H rated tire, will that affect anything if the rest are H rated? i have looked at some douglas touring that are H rated, and some bfg tires that are H rated, both right at $60. basically, i am looking at just getting a tire that is a replacement so i dont need anything fancy, but what tire that walmart has would be the best? i assume the douglas arent as good, but once again i know nothing.

size is 195 65 15 89H

thanks

You need to stick with an "H" rating because that's the proper speed rating for your car's tires. You wouldn't want to go lower than that for obvious reasons. If it's only one tire, you could go higher but there is no reason and they can be more expensive.

Stick with the "H" like you are suppose to. Sure there are tons of "cheap" tires out there; but I should think you would want something decent.

I've been through Michelin Energy MXV4s, Dunlops, Yokohamas, and now I'm on a set of BFG Traction T/As. I really like the Traction T/As for the Accord so far...

BFG potenza touring tires, and the yokos are pretty good for a all season tire. I'd recommend either for stock rims. if you want more info on tires check out www.tire.com or www.tirerack.com both have some good info.
