KA--BOOM! Hi probability of a blowout. You must have a "C" or better load
range tire!!!!!  I bought a set of 4 from Sears that were passenger rated
tires. I had them for about 6 months before I realized (from the list) that
they were the wrong ones. I went back to Sears and talked to the manager
about this "unsafe" condition that "Sears" put my "family" in. They took
them back for a FULL refund and sold me the Michelin XC LT's in size
195/75R14 for $79/ea minus 10% and then took another 10% off that!!!! SO far
they are performing great!
