What is the actual max load rating on them? This is found near the rim around the center of the tire.
With so many people buying large SUV's and pickups for commuters and family, there is more of a demand for load rated tires that don't have the stiff construction of a typical light truck tire.
If you don't haul much, I wouldn't worry about it. But if you do, or plan on doing so in the future, I would compare them to an LT tire.
Comparing load range without comparing the actual weight rating can be confusing. I run a set of D rated tires that have a higher max load weight capacity than many load range E tires available.
