Coupled with the fact that larger retailers won't install tires with lower ratings should I be concerned? The Bridgestones otherwise appear to be the ideal match for the time being.

check this:

you are looking @ 111# load carrying difference between the goodyear over bridgestone and speed ratings of h rated = 130MPH vs w rated 168 MPH.
so the goodyears allow you to carry a little more weight slower, the bridgestones allow you to carry less weight faster
