I saw some tires on sale

Toyo Tourevo LS II

size 245/45/18 96V

now I am wondering if the 96 load rating would be okay for the Impala?
I believe ours stock is 97 load.

any ideas

You are talking about a difference of 44 pounds carrying capacity, in my opinion they are fine. If it worries you, no fatties allowed .

it was 6260 and 6612. Difference of 352lbs for all 4.
