Stretched tyres - Load ratings. What are YOUR load ratings?

So i noticed a couple handful of us are running stretched tyres on the camry in the forums.
I been lookin for new tyres for my new set up and i was wondering how much lower load rating can you go before it is determined as "unsafe" (please, no "stretched tyres are unsafe as is debate")

On my car now i got a load rating of 93 running 245/35/19s

Tyres i want have a load rating of 88 and 91 respectively for front and rear.
Though the lowest load rating is at 560 (88 load rating), 560 x 4 = 2240kgs
Camrys curb weight = ~1300kgs
1300 + 70kgs for petrol = 1370
1370 + 500 (at its max, 5 people x 100kg. lol fat kents) = 1870kgs
1870 + maybe 50ks for sound system gear at most = 1920kgs

Also taken into consideration about some (though not much) weight reduction mods ei removing stock springs and shocks and putting in coils and also lighter weight wheels.

So at its max, with all those factors playing into play, the 1920kgs is still much lower (with around 300kgs to play with) than the 88 tyre load rating which x4 is = to 2240kg. Is this safe at all?
