Load Index

The load index is a numerical code that indicates the maximum weight a tire can safely carry when properly inflated. It helps ensure that tires are appropriate for the vehicle’s weight and usage. For example, a higher load index means the tire can support more weight. This code is found on the tire’s sidewall and works together with the inflation pressure to maintain safety and performance. Choosing tires with an appropriate load index prevents overloading, which can cause tire failure or damage during driving.
