Arctic Fox 990 on SRW in the Snow?

Agreed jknight. I've worked too hard and saved too diligently to put it at risk, even if the risk is small. The fact is that people get sued all the time when they cause accidents with injuries. Might be a small risk that being overloaded makes things any worse than they already were, but I can tell you that every little saving grace you can point to would matter.
Anyway, not here to grind that axe. I asked my question, got good answers, and they helped reinforce a safe decision. I don't begrudge anyone who wants to exceed specs. Remember that I'm only going to be driving my TC up curvy, snowy, icy, windy mountain roads. I don't feel like that leaves me as much leeway to push the limits compared to others. If I was on flat dry pavement, I would have gotten the AF and called it a day with the plausible deniability of the weight sticker and manufacturer literature.
As it stands, I'll be well under specs even when fully loaded. I just ordered Nokian lt2 studs (125 load rated), and also planning on stable loads as a baseline, and then see how things feel from there.
