I have an 09 Camry with 215/60/16 tires and need to replace them. The load limt is 94 and speed rating is V. Can i move down to a H speed rating and if so, how will the car handle?

bscju,

First, your question is a completely separate subject and should be posted in its own thread.

But to answer your question: Handling is highly variable. As a general rule, the lower the speed rating the less crisp the handling, but there are plenty of exceptions.
