You're full of wrong thinking, of the type that's fatal.

The required tire load rating is whatever the manufacturer specifies. The smallest tire I see for mid-90's Civic is a 165/70-13, a tire with a 79 load index. Using a tire with a 71 load index in that application is all sorts of stupid.

When the ignorant do this calculation, they miss things, like safety margins. When engineers to this calculation, they use things like historical data to calculate required safety margins.

You got any historical data, or are you flying blind? Ignorance is curable, but you gotta wanna.

HAVe fun,
Frank
