Tyres - load index

Load index indicates a tyre's ability to carry a certain load.

Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a load, a load index (LI). The car's weight determines the load capacity required of the tyres. Lowest permissible index is specified in the tyre load index table, see section "Specifications" in the printed owner's manual.
