Default how important is tire load ratings?

I'm looking to take these Nero M&S tires off and get the Goodyear F1 GS-D3. However I have two sizes I'd like. The 245/35/18 has a 88 load rating, and the 255/35/18 has a 94 rating. Fitment, rubbing and all the other junk is not a concern. I suppose our heavy cars (especially the tip) could use a higher load rating for added safety?
