Default Load index 90 = 1323 pds/tire, 93 = 1433 pds/tire. Not a huge difference...

I don't think you should worry too much, considering you have a 2.7, and you and your family don't weight 350 lbs each.

Default Costco is kinda weird with that -

I went there to buy 2 tires for the 05 Maxima.
They will sell me the tire and will mount it if I install it in the back - and not the front.
Good tire should be in the front specially if it's a front wheel drive.

You've got it backwards, good tires go in the back, regardless of which wheels get the power.

Default Loads on individual tires change with when cornering/accelerating/braking...

so it's not that hard to overload a tire.

Audi recalled tires with 91 load rating on A6 2.7T's years ago because that wasn't enough
