Load index is the maximum weight that each tyre of your vehicle can carry at the maximum speed limit given by the manufacturer. It is generally denoted by a two or three digit numbers that represent the load bearing limit of each tyre and is found mentioned on the sidewall of your tyre between the diameter reading and the speed rating.

In order to distribute equal weight to all the four tyres of your vehicle, you need to buy all the tyres with the same load capacity.To determine the load limits, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual. Typically, the load indexes of the tyres used in passenger cars and light trucks range from 70 to 110.
In case your tyre is worn-off and you are willing to install an all-new set of tyres, keep in mind that you should replace them with tyres that have similar or higher load index. It is also recommended that the rim size on which the tyres are going to be fitted should also be the same as the original as smaller rim width can reduce the load bearing capacity of a tyre. It is very important to know the exact load capacity of your car because if you choose the wrong set of tyres for your vehicle, then it may cause your insurance to be invalid. Here, we have come up with a Load Index Look-up chart that shows Load index and subsequent load in kg per tyre.
Depending upon the different width, height, diameter and load, tyres are provided with relative speed ratings. These speed ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by the engineers who run the tyre at about 10 km/hr steps, in 10-minute increments, until the requisite speed has been met.
It is important to note that speed ratings only apply to tires that have not been damaged, altered, under-inflated or overloaded. Additionally, most tire manufacturers maintain that a tire that has been cut or punctured no longer retains the tire manufacturer's original speed rating, even after being repaired because the tire manufacturer can't control the quality of the repair.
