- I followed everyone's advice (except for one very negative posting which
- came too late) and ordered a tire from Tire Rack. I ordered a Goodyear Eagle
- GT+4 P205/55VR16. Have they stopped putting the "V" on the tire size? What I
- got from tire rack says P205/55R16, then in smaller letters "89V". My
- original tires also have the 89V, but have the "V" in the size designation
- as well. Can I assume that the tire I got is actually V rated even though
- the "V" is not in the size designation on the tire?
