Yep, next performance tires I get for autocross will atleast match the factory load rating of 87, and not an XL rated tire either as they are built for higher pressures, but I was already doing that with the high speed rated 85 LR tires. I think with a strut car with lots of body roll, low profile tires that need to be run hard make the car skittish. Performance options get pretty sparse though in 15" higher profile tires though.I definitely believe load rating has something to do with it and I think it's often overlooked when people shop around.
