Jeez, guys...chill. See post #18...we still don't know the load rating of the OP's Jetta tires, ALL discussion is moot.

I agree with both sides here. There MIGHT be a small risk, but since the weight difference Jetta/NMSPassat is so slight, the risk is VERY small.

FYI, my 2014 Avalon has a bright yellow warning sticker on the B-pillar, next to the tire specs: (I am NOT MAKING THIS UP!!!!)
CAUTION: LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY REDUCED
Modifications to this vehicle have reduced the original load carrying capacity by 2 kg or 3 lbs.


2kg????? This means when we're fully loaded and stop for food, we only eat ONE BigMac each, instead of our normal TWO!!!!! (...or...uhh...visit the rest rooms, weigh our...uhh...waste...and proceed...)

But as was pointed out the weight of the jetta and passat aren't dramatically different, so if the tires were good to go on the jetta they should be good to go on the passat. Maybe this is a huge assumption on my part.

Or are we saying that the jetta can't handle 4 - 250 pound people but the passat can thus requiring higher rated tires?

These are the tires/wheels on the Jetta that I want to swap onto the Passat. Still think this can be done safely?

I'd toss them on, no problem. Even if they were rated at 89, I'd toss them on.
