Question Tire concern.

I'm wanting to put a '10 SG front wheel on my 07 EGS. I've read where others on here have done this and with great success. For a tire they went with a 130/70-18 in a E3. I'm currently running a MT90B-16 in a E3. The speed ratings are the same, however the load ratings are different. MT90B-16 has a load rating of 783 lbs and the 130/70-18 has a load rating of 600 lbs. My question is. Is this something that I should be concerned with? Is the 600 lb load rating good enough for my bike? Thanks.
