Based on the way I understand this, and I have been wrong before
the 94 load rating means nothing about the sidewall, it has to do with the load capacity of the tire. A 94 rating car take 1477 pounds per tire, which simply means you can have more weight riding on the tire. The same way a truck tire is going to have a rating over 100, and my 235/30-20 with a sidewall practically made of cold rolled steel has a rating of only 88.
