You are correct but I will soon =D

For the Kumho Solus K21 155/80/13 **OEM SIZE*
Max Load 959 lbs

Michelin Harmony 175/70/13
Max Load 1036@44

Michelin Radial X ** What is on my car right now**
Max Load: 1,036@44

So do you think a 60-80 pound Load rating will make a big difference?
Do you think the wider Higher load resistance tire would perform that much better then the skinnier larger tire? It will probably not even make a noticeable difference except in braking and handling? What are your ideas and thanks for the input.
