i have asked this in the wheel and tire section but figure i'll ask here too since some ppl doing go out there.

apparently we are supposed to use tires with a 91 load rating, mine are 88.
the difference is that 88 are rated for 1234lbs and 91 1356lbs

thats a difference of about 120lbs * 4

is it something i REALLY need to be concerned about or is it just a margin of error the manufacturers give themselves?

even the 88 rated tires hold more than the weight of the car so i dont know if it really is such a big issue

I'll answer here too. It is only a big deal if you value your life...

PM Toyoguy - he may have extensive knowledge on this one.

I don't know off the top of my head, but what is the max gross vehicle rating for the 6? If it's less than 4936 lbs (1234 x 4) you should be good...I think...

If it didn't matter, the actual figure of "load rating" wouldn't exist.

Keep in mind that turning, braking, accel, all shift the weight of the car. While driving it is possible to shift a significant portion of the weight to one tire and if that tire can't carry that load then there's a pretty good chance it'll blow.

You may never encounter a situation that causes this, but personally I wouldn't risk it.
