I've never in life had this much trouble finding tires for a vehicle. I find only Pirelli tires would work, which are very expensive and the rears are on back order until who knows when, right??
I had that same problem with my Harley F150 and when wanting to swap tires from left to right on my previous E53 X5. You've just gotta find a smaller mom and pop type shop that'll still take your $20 and send you on your way. Those load ratings are mostly intended for towing and bigger places don't want the liability.
