    No, higher is OK 🙂

    But keep the same across the axles and check the speed rating is appropriate.

    The tyre caucus will be stronger and therefore stiffer so could give a slightly harder/harsher ride, also the compound maybe harder than a lower rating.

    Just don’t put on anything with too low a rating. Too high should be fine, as long as the speed rating is right.

    Too low a load rating, and the tyres might as well be made from cling film.

    Ito low on vans for instance and you may have handed your insurance an instant claim rejection after an accident…
