Question Kumho tire advice.

I have always put Kumho 245/50/16 W rated tires on my 97Z28.
I'm thinking of putting the Kumho H rated tires on but I don't know how they will feel.
Has any body went from a "W" to an "H" rated tire?
I don't drive the car hard any more but there is a 72 dollar difference between the "H" to an "W" rated tires.
The cheapest place I could find them was from here.
The H's

And the W's.

What do you think.
Thanks,

I'd spend a little more and get something that isn't a Kumho.

Ive run the Kumho estaca tires in the past when my car was stock.. A good affordable tire but not as nice as the tires i use now..

H rated means it can sustain 130ish mph for 20 minutes. where the Z rated tires are 150 and up depending if they are W or Y etc...

The H's will work fine but don't expect to compete in handling acceleration or braking with them.
