Load index

Tire data is vehicle-specific and may

Tire data is vehicle-specific and may deviate from the data in the example.

In addition to the load bearing index, load index 1 may be imprinted after the letters that identify speed index 6 on the sidewall of the tire.

 - If no specification is given: no text (as in the example above), represents a standard load (SL) tire
 - XL or Extra Load: represents a reinforced tire
 - Light load: represents a light load tire
 - C, D, E: represents a load range that depends on the maximum load that the tire can carry at a certain pressure
