Tire question
 

Sorry, I know there's a tire board, but it seems dead compared to this one.

I currently have to replace a pair of my tires as they are worn pretty bare. I have another pair with around 10k miles on it.

The pair I'll be keeping are some Traction T/As that are rated at 88H. I'm not able to find another pair of 88Hs, but I have found the Traction T/As rated at 87T. Alternatively, I could go with 88Hs from an entirely different manufacturer/model of tire.

Is it better to keep the rating the same, or the tread/style the same?

welcome to the forum. Main thing about tires, to replace with like when possible, if not to replace with equal. size and rating. this is so the speed o meter reads correct, and the tires are all spinning the same. and keep the best tires on the back ( new item for some of us ) something to do with if you have older tires in the front, and they go flat you can control with the steering.
