Car Tyre Load Rating

Car tyre load rating is a measure of the maximum weight capacity of a tyre at a specific inflation pressure. It is indicated by a number that appears on the tyre's sidewall, along with other tyre information such as the size, speed rating, and construction type.

Load rating is typically expressed as a two- or three-digit number that corresponds to a maximum load capacity in pounds or kilograms. For example, a load rating of 95 indicates a maximum load capacity of 690kg (1,521 pounds).

It's important to choose a tyre with a load rating that meets or exceeds the weight of your vehicle and its maximum load capacity, as well as any additional weight that may be added through passengers or cargo. Overloading your tyres can lead to premature wear, handling issues, and safety concerns.

To determine the appropriate load rating for your vehicle, you can consult the owner's manual or tyre placard, which are typically located on the driver's side doorjamb. You can also consult with a tyre professional, who can help you select the right tyre for your needs based on your vehicle's weight and usage which is easily achieved by posting your job on Servo
