Tyre Load Index

Your tyre’s load index tells you its maximum carrying capacity. It’s important to choose a replacement tyre that fits with your manufacturer’s recommendations.

Load ratings and speed ratings should be looked at together when you choose a tyre. You’ll find the load rating of your current tyre on the sidewall, just beside the diameter. A tyre with a load index of 94, for example, has a maximum carrying capacity of 670kg per tyre - giving a 4 wheeled vehicle a maximum capacity of 2680kg
