I have a 2013 Camaro ZL1 with 285/30ZR20 99W in front when I bought the car used. They are only about 8 months old. One is leaking air and I took it to discount tire and they told me the tire isn’t rated for my car and the load index isn’t enough and is dangerous to drive with them on it and if they removed it they weren’t able to put them back on because of it. So they want to sell me two new tires for like $630 out the door with a 104 load rating.

From my understanding, if the car weights 4120, but let’s say it weights 4800 lbs you divide that by 4 and each tire should be handling 1200 lbs on each corner. So, if the tire is rated a 99, that should handle 1709 lbs each with us well over the car. But less that what comes from GM on stock tires.

What do you all think?
