I'm looking at getting a set of ContiProContact (Grand Touring All-Season) and want to know the proper tire rating. Currently I have some Michelin's with a 94H rating and the ContiPro's I'm looking at getting are 91H. Based on searches at tires.com and other tires stores, for tires for my car, they display the ContiProContact with 91H rating, is that sufficient rating for my 2005 Passat GLX 4Motion (2.8L / V6)?

Thanks in advance.
