Oh no! I can't believe we are doing this :-)! Kenyon is considering various wheels and tires: >Michelin MXV4 radials : H 95 rated (snip)--or >Pirelle P4000 : H 93 rated (snip) >(snip): 205/65 HR15s Michelin Energy MXV4 radials : H 94 rated I want to focus here on the load ratings: the "95", "93" and "94" in the tire specs above. On my '90 Syncro Westie, and on my buddy's '90 Carat, the tire spec sticker in the front driver's door jamb specifies a variety of tires, either with 6 or 8 plys, or reinforced with with "97" load ratings. I thought the factory sticker called out "97" as the minimum for tires that carried load ratings (truck tires don't have these numbers, I think) anything lower -like the ones Kenyon is looking at- does not really have the load capacity for the vehicle. Am I wrong? Tom F.
