Load Ratings

[EYE4SPEED]

I have a B6 S4 Cab.

Looking to purchase a set of wheels/tires.

I know we shouldn't run mixed brand sets or mixed treads, but what about load rating?

Two are 235/35/19 and two are 245/35/19. Tread is the same on all four. EDIT: Wheels are 19x8.5 and 9.5 w/32 offset.

Two questions:

1. Will rolling diameter be the same?

2. One pair has a 93 load rating and one pair has a 91 load rating - any issues?

Thanks.

Rolling diameters will be around 0.2" difference between the front and rear tires. The tire with the higher load rating will have a slighly stiffer sidewall, and will handle corners differently than the load rated tire at high speed or aggessive driving. If you have Quattro, I'd check with the dealer to see if the differnet diameters will be a problem but wouldn't think so.
