KA--BOOM! Hi probability of a blowout. You must have a "C" or better load range tire!!!!! I bought a set of 4 from Sears that were passenger rated tires. I had them for about 6 months before I realized (from the list) that they were the wrong ones. I went back to Sears and talked to the manager about this "unsafe" condition that "Sears" put my "family" in. They took them back for a FULL refund and sold me the Michelin XC LT's in size 195/75R14 for $79/ea minus 10% and then took another 10% off that!!!! SO far they are performing great!
