What should the GVWR be for a 90 speed tire?
If the GVWR is under 5300#, the 90 speed rating is adequate. But it is more likely over 5700, and the 93 rating is proper. You should find the GVWR in your owner’s manual somewhere. But since the manual already says that the 93 load rating is correct, that implies that the GVWR is a little over 5700#.
Which is heavier a 93v or 94v tire?
Like Waldo stated, the Fusion OEM tires are 93V. In addition, I gave my MKZ tires a quick check and they are 93V. And the MKZ is a little heavier than the Fusion. But the load rating is the load rating, Michelin can’t change the rules. 1433lbs is the load rating of EVERY 93 tire @ 35psi.
