Default higher load rating?

I am looking to purchase some A/S tires for my '07 IS350...I was going to purchase Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus...but when I try to checkout my order at tirerack, I get the following message:

"The following tire you have selected has a higher load rating than the vehicle's Original Equipment (O.E.) tires. This typically results in increased ride harshness, which some customers may find undesirable."

Does this mean that I would have to inflate my tires to a different PSI that that recommended by Lexus in the owners manual?

Nope, it just means TR is covering their butts!

It should be close enough to the same to not notice a difference....
