Be careful here. One of the lessons from the Ford / Firestone situation a few years back is that there has to be a certain amount of unsed load carrying capacity to be sure the tire will survive all the possible conditions that are out in the world. The load rating as published does NOT reflect this.
I would suggest you use tires that have at least the same load index as the originals. This is important especially as you live in one of those states that has been identified as severe as far as tire service is concerned.
