If you are in the market to buy new tyres, you must have come across the term called ‘Load Index’.

Here is everything you need to know about Tyre Load Index.

It’s important

Tyre load index is a number which defines the load rating for a tyre. It defines the maximum load each tyre can take, so it’s very important to choose the correct load rating for your tyres.

Does 90 mean 90kg?

No, the actual rating is a code for KGs. We have compiled a chart for load index to kg ratings below:
