tire load rating
So i ordered new tires for my bike. I ordered the same size tires that are on there now. So anyways after reading a little more it looks like i currently have the wrong tire on now.(they were on the bike when i got it.) The rear tire is a 67h load rating. Its for 675lbs. It looks like i should have 74h =827lbs. Front tire is correct. The tires will be here tomorrow and i was planning on getting them installed sat. Should i wait and reorder, or will this be ok? I weigh about 175 and the wife 110. Usually I ride solo. No bags or anything. I dont want to put it on if its not going to be safe. Even though thats how i have been ridding

The stock tyre is probably a 74, it certainly is for the dressers, but IMHO you should be fine. If you add up your weights plus that of the bike, and compare that number with the total load rating of the two tyres, you have plenty spare!
