Default Avon venoms V and H

A wile back I got some info on running a 150 80 VB 16 Avon Venom rear tire on my 07 Roadster from some forum members, the V rated tire is wider than the H rated tire that is normally used. The consenses was that it would fit. The only other thing is that I have an 100 90 19 H rated Venom on the front now. I think it would be ok to run them both, I mean they are both bias tires and the only difference is the speed rating, but I thought I would ask for some other opinions. Thanks.

It's not a problem. I have a V rated tire in the rear and an H in front. I have not been able to find a V rated 21" tire for the front, but I know that the front tire I have is a perfect match for the rear regardless of speed rating.

It's not a problem. I am running the 150V on the back and the 100-19H on the front.
