I just bought these tires and I wanted to know if they would be safe to run on my car, they are a load rating below the stock potenzas. 1323 lbs vs. like 1457 on the potenzas, so Will I be ok running these tires... Please advise.

probably safe if you dont put 5 people and dont load the back with bags of concrete, you should be alright.

Just got back from a 1200 round trip drive on 225-45-17's. Its not my car but the SR20DEN's. We made it in one peice and even survived NYC roads. Your speedo will read quite a bit faster with those tires though.

Most all 225/45 R17 have the same load rating.

You don't happen to know the load rating of these tires do you?

That's per tire. So unless you have enough weight in the car to make it weigh 5292lbs you will be fine.
