What Is A Tire Load Rating?

Every tire's load rating is stamped into its sidewall. Once you know the load rating, you can use the chart below to determine the amount of weight that one tire can support. Then just multiply the weight by four - or the number of wheels on your vehicle - to determine your vehicle’s maximum load-carrying capacity.

Do not install tires with a lower load-carrying capacity than the tires that were installed on your vehicle by the manufacturer.
