Hey whats good people, thing is until this time, and ive been driving for good 5 years, i have never had a chance or need to swap tires. Winter is coming and my tires are pretty much gone. Front are 98% done and rear are like 90%, im looking forward to get myself some good A/S tires. I own 2000 ES, stock wheels atm. Ive checked tires online, but all those ID letters idk tbh, so some help/suggestion would be very nice. Looking for a comfortable tires with a decent lasting period, good handling and that can handle high speed!!! my boy got himself tires on maxima, however as he later found out they were made not to exceed 100mph and he did quite more and got bit messed up, so i dont want no stuff like that. So thats it, suggestions and help will be highly appreciated.

65R15 and 60R16 is the size of the tire. It should really be 205/65/15 and 205/60/16. The width of the tread is 205mm, the sidewall is either 60 or 65% of 205mm (aspect ratio), and the last number is the size of the rim (inside diameter of the tire). If your 2000 ES still has the stock wheels, you will need 205/60/R16 tires.
91V - the number signifies how much weight that tire can support, and the letter stands for the maximum speed that the tire can withstand. In this example, 91 = 615kg (1356lbs) and V is 240kph(149mph).

i would go with h rating, just to save some money. Tire Rack is great for reviews, H or V is the best way to go with your car. I think you get what you pay for in tires. Have fun with your car. take care.
