OK, give me the worst of it. What am I in for if I mix the speed ratings for
my tires?

I'm using all 205/45/16. The fronts are Z rated and the rears are something
like H rated. I've heard there can be heating and cooling properties that
can cause handling issues even in straight line driving.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
