Would I notice a difference at all driving by or towing with a 114 load rating tire vs a 116 in an expedition? I see a bunch of tires with either rating, and it's about 200lb max load difference per tire. The factory tires were 116, but I like some of the 114 options.

It's a 155 lb difference /tire. There is a measurable difference between the two, but it'll be negligible in regards to feel.

Goes without saying, don't buy tires underrated for your vehicle.

OEM spec is 114. 116 may be what the tire mfr supplied because they had excess or thats their standard.
