NC Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 - Tire load

This tire has had good reviews on this forum (and in C&D reviews) so I went to order these @ Tire Rack and it spit back a window saying...

WARNING:The following tire you have selected has a higher load rating than the vehicle's Original Equipment (O.E.) tires. This typically results in increased ride harshness, which some customers may find undesirable.

I know that the higher load is ok vs running a lower load, but has anyone noticed an increase in ride harshness running this tire?

^I got the same warning on my Goodyear Asymmetrics, but they ride fine for me. And that's on KW coilovers.

They are only about 100lbs more so I'm hoping they'll be ok. Glad to hear you didn't notice much diff.

Thx for the reply!

Followup...got these installed last week. Perform exactly how C&D describes. I have not found the chance to take the car out and really get on it but so far they feel soft but they seem to stick to the curves. They are really quiet. It is nice to actually hear the engine over the road noise. Here is a link to the report. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...12_evo_page_10
