I couldn't care less about load and speed ratings since all tires I'm interested in for my car is way beyond the speed and load ratings I travel in.
But in the litigious society we live in, you have to follow the car manufacturer.
The reason I don't care is that a lot of times you can find cheap Chinese rock hard tires with load and speed ratings galore fertilized all over the tire.
But as higher you go in quality and brand names, the harder it is to find a tire that cover those higher numbers.
Why is that?
Well, my believes are that the fly by night tire companies couldn't care less if they follow any rules or regulations (is there really an international mandated load and speed regulation test?) and they can slap just about any numbers on there and people are buying their tires like crazy going gaga over how good of a tire to cheap price they get.
1 to 2 years later, that brand tire is gone from the market and a new and fantastic brand has emerged and people are going gaga over that brand and it might be the same company behind.
The old true and tried tire companies have their reputation to think about and therefore are a lot more conservative over the load and speed ratings on their tires.
But this is just my believes.
