Hey,

I’m looking to purchase a set of all-season tyres for our UK winter. The alloys are on their way already.

I’m going for a 245/35/19 square set up, so I can rotate the tyres as necessary in the future.

However, the majority of good tyres in this size only have a load rating of 93 (650kg), whereas the OEM ZTK rears have a rating of 96 (710kg).
650kg per tyre is 1300kg per axle still, and 2600kg total, which seems plenty sufficient?

Now, given it’s winter, I’m hardly going to be hooning it around the place, so… will a 93 load rating be okay?

My gut is yes, as some of the allowed tyre options are 225/40/19 93Y (same load rating) and 225/30/20 92Y (lower load rating), but they are different sizes and profiles.
