What is load rating?

The load capacity of a tire determines what weight each tire is able to carry.

It is vital that you check with your vehicle handbook as to what capacity should be put on your car. In some cases your insurance can become void if you select the incorrect tires.

The load rating is generally found after the diameter reading and before the speed rating on the sidewall marking:
