Thank you all for your recommendations. I would agree with SW03ES as no shop recommends anything lower than what vehicle is designed for, in this case V rated for the exact reasons he describes...thickness of sidewalls and impact it has on suspension... I had an Acura Legend that asked for V rated and I had H rated on it and put 60000 miles on them without feeling any difference. I have also heard that for practical pursposes, you should not go below H rated. So finally, I have decided to get BFGoodrich Traction T/A V rated at 110(H rated at 101) a piece installed . The tire looks good. Thanks Blake !!!

I have a 1995 Lexus LS400 with 150000 miles on it and need new tires for it. I know this question has been asked many times but in Boston, I need something that will give quiet ride with good snow performance. I have MXV4+ V rated right now and I have gotten 65000 out of them now. They ride nice and quiet but are expensive at 165+ each so I am looking for a cheaper alternative. I have read reviews about Bridgestone Turanza, Yokohama AV4(bad reviews on snow) but a local place is suggesting Bridgestone Potenza G 009. Wanted to know what you all think about that one. Tirerack reviews are great for that tire... Also, is H rated ok on this car ? I am not a performance driver..my driving is mostly highway at high speeds.
