    Is there a downside to going with a tire that has a higher Load Index?

    I know the original tires have a rating of 89... but some tires I'm considering have a rating of 91.

    Also they have a higher Speed rating, H... rather than S

    Thanks

    The ride is slightly rougher? I got nokian all weather tires (WRG2) one time, noticed later they had higher load rating, that was my impression.
