Just ignore it. They will work fine.

 

Aren't those load indexes at the max or industry-specified pressures? So even the stock 1709 would be at 41 psi (or whatever the suggested pressure is), which I don't think anyone runs. But it does give a buffer for when running lower pressures. And the index is per-tire, and if weight is evenly distributed across all 4, it should carry a total of 6836lbs, well over the Evora's weight with cargo.

 

I'm running NT01 right now, and the max load for fronts (235/35-19) is 1201 and for rears (285/35/20) is 1764. I think worst case you'll be looking at premature treadwear, not a sidewall blowout or anything like that.

 

What vehicle would they normally be on a Camaro? I'd think a Lotus would have no problem at all but I probably don't understand how the rating works.

 

yeah, I looked that up. The sizes on the Camaro are larger and have the XL rating in the rear. The 285s are actually up front on that car.

 

Total BULLSHIT NUMBERS FOR OUR CARS.
You wilk LOVE the Goodyears!!!!°

 

He will have to wait a while to get them!! Haha, I'm sitting on a single 285/35-20 right now... can't complete the set.

 

exactly. I’ll leave the order in and may need another set of Cup 2s before. The may need to spend the winter in the basement if they show up in the fall.

 

The only thing I had been warned over the years is insurance companies can decline a claim if incorrect load rating fitted. No idea if this ever happens, but I’ve heard it a few times.

 

I don't know about insurance companies denying claims, but the tire manufacturer will not cover the warranty (or any damage claims) if the product (tire) is used outside the tire specification.

Tire warranties are just toilet paper

Running a 285/35 is #1 heavier I bet, and #2 makes your ratios even taller than they already are......my favorite setup is the 235/285s on my 18/19's.....

 

A few pounds matters on my 1600 lb car, not so much my 3100 lb car 😛
