GXP load tire load rating?
 
I recently got new front tires for the GXP and the tire shop ordered me 235/45ZR18 XL tires which is fine, I'm not too concerned about the width. But I noticed that the load rating on the tire is 98W. When I started looking around I noticed a lot of the stock size tires for the GXP are 103. The last set of tires I had were Hankook Ventus V12s and I don't remember them being 103 either but I'm not entirely sure.

Is this reduced load rating going to be a problem?

The more I look actually, the more I'm finding many tires are only 99 load rating for the GXP even on TireRack.com so I don't think I will worry too much about having 98

a 98 load rating tire can support just over 1653 lbs(again per tire). Considering a GXP only weighs about 3600 lbs or so... essentially two 98 load rated tires alone could support nearly the entire weight of the car. Now spread that weight over 4 tires... not even close to being an issue.

Yeah that's what I kinda figured after I posted this. Thanks for clarifying.
