What does that mean? Will I have problems??

Only if you crash, at which point your insurance company will void your cover and you could leave yourself open to a very large, expensive legal battle. If you can, make sure you buy tyres with the correct load rating guys!

The onus is on you, not the tyre fitters, although I suspect that's why your tyre fitter wouldn't fit them for you Hanra. Just covering his own arse?

Federals? The load index is not suitable for XR's in the 245/40/R18 range. The 265/35/R18's is ok though.

they both have the same load rating 93w http://www.federaltyres.com.au/specs/ss595.pdf

Actually treemonkey, Hanra was taling about the 595RS. You have the SS595 data there mate. Different tyre.

Try this one instead: http://www.federaltyres.com.au/specs/ss595rs.pdf

I went for a drive in my mates 300ZX TT last nite in the wet hes got decent power too and with toyo proxes on the back he could almost full throttle it without much wheelspin. If I drove like he did last nite with my nexens I would have ended up in a tree! I think I know what tyres im gettin next! Toyo proxes FTW!

Really? My PROXES 4's are sh*te in the wet. I put the boots in 5th on Maroondah Hwy just before the bypass to overtake someone last night and it kicked out when boost hit. Now that's how you end up in a power pole!
