I have a 2010 Honda Odyssey LX. I ordered Calipers, brake pads, rotors, and tires for a weekend project. The van calls for and has on it now, 235/65r16 102T. I ordered 235/60r16 100H. When I look up the load capacity for the tires it is a little over 1,700lbs a tire. The van manual says the van weights is around 8,410lbs.
I know the tires will fit the van, but I am worried they aren't up to par when it comes to weight and that makes me question the safety of it all. Should I send back the tires and get new ones? Or will the tires I ordered be safe?
Any info on this subject is very much appreciated.

No, it definitely doesn't. There is absolutely no way your minivan weighs over 4 tons. Please check again

Why are you changing the size?
Are you aware these are 1" smaller than OEM? That's more than a 3% change which is not recommended.
It's going to throw off transmission shifting, speedo, ABS, everything. And you'll get worse fuel economy on the highway.

This is PLENTY
I definitely read the manual wrong. It says the "Gross combined weight rating" is 8,410. I am assuming I should just reorder the tires. I was just hoping it wouldnt effect much. I am bummed I will have to wait longer to do all the work now. But safety is most important

The GCWR is the weight of your vehicle PLUS trailer.
The tires only need to support GVWR or GAWR if towing.

If you don't know what the numbers mean, then you should always use a size calculator.
