Turanza LS-T vs LS-H

For the last 25,000 miles, I have had Bridgestone Turanza LS-H's on my 1992 300D. I doubt they'll make it to 50,000...supposedly two of them already need be be replaced. The tires have been great, but I've been considering replacing them with the LS-T since they're cheaper and they'll last longer.

What kind of differences, if any, do you think I'd notice between the two Turanzas?

Thanks.

Probably no difference.

If you're questioning whether or not they need to be replaced, post pictures of the tread.

I believe the difference has to do with speed rating, H (130 mph) versus T (118 mph). Before you decide that you don't drive 130 mph anyways, consider that these speed ratings have to do with the construction of the tire, for instance, sidewall stiffness & strength, which can affect handling. I expect that the H rated tires would have a more sturdy construction, and would be less prone to flex under hard cornering.
