Expert Reply:
Ideally you will want the tires to match in construction, size, and load range. What can happen is reduced tracking quality and one set will wear out at a different rate than the other set. I advise going with all of the same load range. If you had a flat it would be fine to use a different load range, provided it was the proper size, temporarily until you can get a proper matching tire put on.
