91V vs. 93V tire load rating

Hi,
Finally original Michelins are in need to be replaced. So, after doing an exhaustive research on this board, I am leaning towards Continental ContiExtreme Contact. It comes in OEM size and speed rating, but it's load rating is a little lower. Is that of any concern. I have a 9-5 2.3 lpt wagon (2000), live in Boston area, and do not tow anything nor I intend to.
By the way, choosing tires proved to be rather frustrating undertaking. It seems that there are no good tires to be faund at all. At least not for this car. I have snow tires for the winter and was looking for summer tires with good wet handling (well, better than Michelins, anyway). My choices ran the gamut from Bridgestones Potenza S-03 (decided not to get them duo to possible mismatch to suspension) to Kumho's to Dunlops to getting another set of Michelins. Briefly considered Nokian NRW or NRVi, but decided against as dealers are very few.
Now that you have read all this, could you share your thoughts on tires once again, since some of you have reaplaced OEMs and have some mileage on replacement tires?
Thank You,
Linas
