Tire help please

[MalBandito99]

Looking at my stock 16s at 205-60-16 91H, does that mean any aftermarket tire of differing size, assuming the tire fits, would need a 91H service description or better? Would 84W be good? Any tire gurus or knowledgeable people would be very much appreciated. I had my eye on a set of BFGoodrich Scorcher 225-35-19 84Ws for my new rims, but now I am hestitant.

I hope the tires dont pop or something!!

Thanks. I read that when I was getting concerned, but I guess I'll have to keep searching for another set.

Upon further comparison, according to tireracks tires only in 225/35/19, I can get a tire at either 84W (which means 1102 lbs load and 168 mph Exotic sports car class) or 88Y (1235 lbs load and 186 mph Exotic sports car class).

Stock tire of 205/60/16 is at 91H (1356 lbs load and 130 mph Sport sedan and coupe class). This equates to a 254 lbs less than stock for the 84W tire, and a 121 lbs less than stock for the 88Y.

What the hell does it all mean realistically? The car weighs roughly 3500 lbs, so that means 875 lbs per tire, if weight distribution was 50/50, but its not. Even if its not, at max the front tires would have 950 lbs on em constantly and more when you put more pressure on them such as in a bump or just general driving.

Anybody who knows something I don't know here or who has 19s and has gone through this or even slightly contemplated about it, HELP!
