If your talking about my 530300, please be more specific. From the samba forums it does meet what is need for weight, speed and tire pressure specs. Also, important to note, JEGS, summit etc. don't correctly rate the tires. You need to look at the coker tire site.
If I am wrong, please point out the specific issue, I actually would appreciate it.

From Coker Site: https://www.cokertire.com/p205-75r14-coker-classic-2-3-8-whitewall.html
SKU: 530300
Tread Width: 5.68
Section Width: 8.14
Overall Diameter: 26.11
Load Index: 97
Speed Rating: P
Max Load Capacity: 1532@35PSI
Rim Width: 5.50 - 7.50
Tube Type or Tubeless: Tubeless
Since they are car tires, you have to de-value the 1532 by 9%. That yields 1394 Lbs / tire. I did not look it up to see if light or not; sounds a bit light.

I think this is the product to use on the tyres:http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/tirepaint.htm
it is from Iceland.
