Tires: Tire Load Index, inflation pressure, load index

Question
I am looking to buy tires for my '08 Honda Accord sedan - 4 cylinder.  The load range for my vehicle is 93 (I think).  I want a a "grand touring all season tire".  I am looking at purchasing Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum which have a load index of 97.  Is there any problem with purchasing this tire for my vehicle?  Will I have to change the PSI?  Will it cause the car to have a stiffer ride?

Answer
Tony,

If you are buying tires of the same size, then this type of change - Standard Load to Extra Load - is not a problem.  The way tires carry load doesn't change when changing from Standard Load to Extra Load, so the pressure would be the same.

The ride quality of a tire is more tied to inflation pressure and the way the tire is designed - and not so much to the Standard Load / Extra Load thing.  If you don't like the ride of the new tires, it is more likely because of the tire, not the "Extra Load" part.
