OK!!!!! I finally figured it out!!!!!! We are looking at two different tires......kinda sorta. My vehicle not being a hybrid and so not being as heavy (maybe that's the reason?) takes a different tire size. My tire is a 235x55x19 . In that size for whatever reason the speed rating is 105H . In other sizes, which a hybrid may/probably has, the tire for that vehicle (tire size) does come in a V . To me that makes no sense why but that is what I am stuck with. What a dilemma. I may have to go with the Pirelli's after all. dang.....................
