Load Rating

MattP725 · 03-09-2012, 11:59 AM

So I bought some RE-11s from Costco with the $70 discount... they gave me a bit of flack about the load rating on the front tire... they said the 94w is below the stock recommendation (I think it was 96w) and that it is unsafe to drive on that tire. Obviously with all the people on the forum using them, I ignored the counter guy's reco but has anyone actually thought about this issue? Is it a problem?

Stock sport is 94F & 96R, I assume they had the base model specs. 95/96 on the base.

Could be although he knew the right sizes. Regardless it is a different of like 1500lb per tire and 1400. Our stock curb weight is like 3700 I believe so it shouldn't be an issue at all I'd think.
