Which Tire would be better...

205/60/VR15

or

205/60/H/15

the VR's is what came on the car - the H is supposedly just below it.

The VR's are more expensive than the H's but I wonder
if its really worth paying more or not...

any suggestions?

A V rating = 149 mph
A H rating = 130 mph

A V-rated tire most likely is a more performance oriented tire, although I'm sure there are exceptions.

You should not use a tire with speed rating that's LESS than the original equipment tire's speed rating.

Good tires are a relatively cheap way to maximize the rest of your investment. Cheap tires degrade the whole driving experience. Get some decent V or Z rated tires and enjoy your car. There are some reasonably priced performance tires that should fit your needs.
