"Tires on an axle must be of the same designated size and design. The brand name does not matter."
In the context above, the designated size includes the tire design. Each brand name manufacturer must meet the size and design characteristics for a designated size.
Brands can be a very controversial subject driven by personal choice and particular brand experiences by each writer.
Bottom line; for the OP to gain the recommended reserve load capacity needed to meet the 10% above GAWR, a larger designated size will be required, because the OE size is not produced in a size that will provide that 10%.
However, the OE tires
do meet the minimum FMVSS requirement.
