How many miles do you put on your car each year?
Tread life may not be a big consern to you.
If you are like me and don't put a lot of miles on your car every year I got a set of non-tred life rated yokohama S4 tires (W speed rated, ultra high performance all season) they lasted 50,000 miles on my friends camaro and she drives it hard. For me 50,000 miles would be 6 to 8 years, about the time they start to dry rot and crack.
The last set of 31 inch tires on my truck dry rotted to death and they had a big tread wear number.
Yes load rating is very important. Don't sell your self short in that department.
I made that mistake with my truck when I first got it by keeping the tires it had not putting the proper tires on it. P-metrics and trucks don't mix.
