J30 has an OEM load rating of 93, and it seems most 45 series rubber available for a 17 inch wheel carries a 91 rating. I did find ONE tire with a 94 rating...but that sort of completely limits my choices.
any other people running aftermarket wheels on the J30 using a lower load rating?
i personally would rather stay at or above spec, although i am sure there is a certain factor of safety involved. on the other hand, the J30 could benefit from the biggest safety buffer available...
Dennis/ others, whats your opinion on running a lower load rating? ( I am sure many run below spec without even knowing it, tires seem to have become weaker since the early 90s, or maybe the tests used to monitor actual load ratings have become stricter...)
