"Summer tires"

I was wondering if anyone here has been able to "swap out" the stock H rated tires (for non-sport equiped E's) for "summer tires *i.e. W or Z rated.* I know some "marques (i.e. Lexus, BMW) will allow you to switch with no additional charge.. just a reminder that ride noise/quality and also the wear of the tires is greater than the stock rubber.

I'm thinking of getting some sport rubber for my E on the replacement car...

Thanks
Peter
