What is tire load index?

Tire load index is an assigned number that corresponds to the maximum weight that a tire can support when properly inflated.

The higher the tire's load index number, the greater its load carrying capacity.

Choosing a tire with a lower load index than the original equipment specifications means that the tire will not carry the load capacity of the original.
