w rating Vs. Y rating
I have pireilli pzero rossos and my tires are Y rated. but i ordered replacement tires and they got me W rating. Does it make a difference if i install the w rating instead of my usual Y rating? is Y better than W? also they got 94 W before i had 91Y. can some explain the difference of that?
thanks for help.
