| The load capacity index can be found on the sidewall of the tire. It
provides information about the maximum load that the tire can bear. |
| The load capacity index is located in the size designation, e.g.
195/65 R 15 91T, of the tire. It is indicated on the tire as a code
according to ETRTO. The following table shows the load capacity index
with the corresponding load capacity of the tires. |
