22" wheel and tire load issue
So, I ordered some new TPMS sensors from r33_RGSport to install on my 22" wheels as the previous owner did not install when he upgraded from the M Sport wheels (which I still have). I went to Discount Tire to get the sensors installed and they said they can't install as my rear tires do not meet the load requirements.
My current Pirelli Asemmetrico tire set up is as follows... Front: 295/30 R22 103W Rear: 335/25 R22 105Y He looked all through his system to see if there was another tire I could go with (same specs) that carries more load and he said there is no option. He also said there is no other option for a straight replacement (regardless of load rating) for my Pirelli All Season tire. The only option is another Pirelli summer tire that is 315/30R22 107XL...skinnier tire which probably would not look great. I'm assuming no one has run into this exact issue but curious what the forum thinks of my issue and if there are any solutions...and is the car load issue that major? Thanks!

I had this issue with that place. They will not touch your wheels/tires if the load rating is not what they believe is correct for liability reasons.
I have ran tires below the stock load rating a bunch of times with no problems. If you're not towing on a regular basis I don't think it's that huge of a deal. Atturo makes a 295/30/22 and 335/25/22. Not a popular brand but a few people here run them with good reviews.

Yea as long as you aren’t towing or riding around with your cargo area full with a thousand lbs all the time, you’re more than fine.

This happened to me when I was looking to fit a particular size on my Mercedes. Discount Tire didn't want to touch it. So instead they recommended another size. In the end I went with the size their computer said would work. Turned out ok.
Best bet is to bring them the wheels only and have them mount the tires on it. If they ask what vehicle it's for just say a random vehicle that would take that tires. Or find a wheel shop that does custom setups.

So a 105 load rating is a max of 2039 lbs per tire. The X5 weighs about 5K. Load it up to 6500 lbs and you are about 1625 lbs per tire. Presume a rear weight bias at 60% (which is high) and you would be at 1950 and you are within the load limit, better still with a wider tire (more contact).
