Pete,

Please tell us what the vehicle tire placard says for inflation pressure and original tire size. This is important to determine what the vehicle manufacturer intended for load carrying capacity.

Also, you should be aware that passenger car tires (like yours) have to be derated 10% when they are used in a light truck application (like yours are). So you need to proceed carefully. It would be really easy to overload the tires.
