The load factor may be a problem for your insurer and the LR warranty. A simple litmus test is to ask the fitters to guarentee the tyres given that the load rating is 3 points below and accept liability .......will they?....I think not Wink

I would wait for the right size to come out,

After seeing what can happen with the 255/55/18 when going mildly off rd (blowing the sidewall on 2 tyres) I would stick to the right load rating or better.
