Conti Escapes - S rated or H rated?

Hi guys

I'm going to be ordering some new Conti Escapes to replace my Michelin Siracs which although have a lot of rubber left are cracked in the tread. Anyhow my query is whether to go for the S rated Escapes or spend a bit extra and go for the H rated. Now from what I can gather the XT will only do around 112mph max on the clock so is probably no where near that in real terms probably closer to 100mph. (I think I've sort of answered my own question here!)

Tyre ratings http://www.blackcircles.com/general/speedrating

Am I correct in saying that the standard rated tyres for Xt660Rs are "S"?

2006 brochure http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/I...m26-112128.pdf

The Siracs I have on at the moment are T rated.

So what are everyone's thoughts?

Cheers

Logan
