I am about to order Michelin PSS for my car but they give you 2 options for load ratings in the front 95Y "1521lbs" and 99Y "1709lbs". The rears only come in 104Y.

There is a $80 price difference between the 95 and 99 load rating. What did others use and what is recommended?

For reference, the stock Goodyear's are rated (98V) in the front and (92Y) in the rear.

hmm, is there a minimum rating for these cars? It seems like the 95Y should be fine up front but wanted to hear some other opinions or someone else who is running these.

My state requires that you keep the OEM load rating, or higher, to get an inspection sticker.
