Shopping for low profile tires...still have questions

[TRDSleeper]

Hi there,

So far I've spent over a week researching and shopping for new wheels and tires for my gen 4.5. I finally have been able to settle on the wheel design I want, along with the right offset. I'm getting 18x7.5 with a +40mm offset. Now I'm looking into tires. I am settling for some Goodyear Eagle F1 All-season 225/40/18. However, I am concerned with the load index rating. The Michelins I have on my factory wheels right now have a load index of 94, or 1477 lbs. The Goodyear F1 have a load index of 92, or 1389 lbs. Should this cause any concern? To me, it doesn't seem like too big of a difference and the Goodyear have an "XL" marking so I guess they can handle extra load than other tires of the same size? Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you.

I would run 235/40/18 just to be on the safe side. I prefer that over 225 because it gives me a little thicker sidewall for potholes. You might need some fender rolling tho.

the load index is fine. u wont have any problems.

Yeah, you'll only have problems if you strap another Camry onto your roof.

I'd stick with the 225s to avoid clearance problems as well as save a bit of weight on the tire

unless you're putting down serious power, the 225 would be more than enough rubber for you anyway
