Default Tire load question

2020 F-Pace Portfolio, I currently run a set of summer and winter tires and wheels. As we live north but drive to Florida in the winter I am looking to move to an AllWeather tire for my winter set up but have run into a issue where the load ratings on the All weathers in the appropriate size is only 106.
Current set up: Summers are 255/50R20 109W, Winters are 235/65/R18 110V. Both sets from a Jaguar dealer.

The door has a decal showing the 18 inch size as 236/65R18 110V, but also list other sizes up to 22's with load ratings as low as 106.
The tire dealers all say they don't even show an 18inch 235/65/18 as an OE option for the F-Pace.

Been searching to no avail, so the question is, is it safe and legal to us a 18" with only a 106 load rating? Input from any tire specialist more than welcomed.
Thanks In advance

I always refer to The Tire Rack (owned by Discount Tire as of a couple years ago). 255/60R18 112V is what they suggest is correct. Also checked 1010Tires.com's tire size calculator. 255/60R18 112V there as well. Your 255/50's are almost 7% too small. The 235/65's are still too small but within the less than 1% margin that is generally accepted.

Looking at the available "all weather" tires in 255/60R18 112V, the Michelin Crossclimate 2 is a very well reviewed choice. There is also the Goodyear Weatherready 2 and Vredistein Quatrac Pro plus. If you look at Nokian Tyres specifically (they came up with the All-weather marketing scheme) the WRG5 is available in that size.

If you look at Discount Tire, they suggest your 235/65R18 SL is correct. Now the Pirelli Scorpion Weateractive becomes available. (also a bit less expensive) as well as the Nokian WRG5.
