Load Index

Load Index

The load index is an industry standard that indicates the maximum load each tyre is designed to carry when inflated to the recommended pressure. The load index is shown on the tyre sidewall as a two or three digit number after the tyre’s dimensions. The chart below shows these indices and the corresponding carrying capacity for each value. Fit a tyre with sufficient load capacity as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Fitting an incorrectly rated tyre can invalidate an insurance policy.
