Does load rating translate into a crappy ride or just decreased tire life? I have honestly never paid attention to load rating before so I looked up the load rating on my tires.
My Aero came with brand new Nexen N7000s which I liked at the beginning but they have turned into absolutely miserable tires. They are the loudest things I have ever heard, but they handle decently I suppose. They're wearing evenly but QUICKLY. I looked up the load rating and they're 91's. Would a 94 handle any better or just last longer?
My winter tires are tucked away in my grandmother's basement but I found a list of specs for them and they're either 93's or 94's.
