Choice of tyres?

My wife wishes to fit all season tyres to her Fiesta. From your site Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons looks a good bet, but finding some is another matter. This is not helped by my confusion over specifying the tyre. The original Hancook tyres that are fitted are 195 x 50 R15 82H but if I enter the car's registration in the tyre supplier web site it comes up with 82V. Can you tell me why there is a difference and does it matter? Also, what other all season tyres would you recommend for her car?

New Michelin CrossClimate are good and you can look up exactly the correct tyre for your car on the Michelin website, avoiding any confusion: www.michelin.co.uk
