Hey once again,

I've been hunting for tires lately, time to get the snow tires off now that
we're well, WELL out of mother winters reach.  I got idea from the site and
other volks who put either the michelin LTX 's on or the Yokohama Y356, I wnat
to put either one of these one preferably.  People were all concerned about
the load rating, and most of the responsed I received stated to go for a "D"
rating and  8 ply sidewalls.   I seem to feel that most of the responses I got
were from people woho had westis, which are a hech of a lot heavier than my
straight forward vanagon (got the weekenderbed though).  I see the advantages
of this, more stable ride, I have a thule adjenture roof BOX  and a canoe so
its more top heavy than anything.  Anyway my question is do I need to go with
the "D" load rating and the 8 ply sidewall, can I get away with something with
a little less rating, is so h0w much less.
