The tire load rating (load index) is the maximum weight each tire can safely carry at its specified pressure. Choosing a lower load index than your vehicle requires can lead to overheating, poor handling, and failure. Use the chart below to match your tire’s sidewall load index to its capacity in pounds, then confirm your selection meets or exceeds your vehicle’s requirements.

Find the load index on your tire’s sidewall (next to the size) and confirm it meets or exceeds your vehicle’s requirements. If you’re upsizing or changing tire type, compare with our tools: Plus/Minus Sizing Calculator, Tire Size Comparison Calculator, and Wheel & Tire Size Calculator.
Higher load tires can be heavier or constructed differently, which may affect ride height and clearance when paired with new wheels. Review fitment fundamentals with Wheel Offset Explained and Custom Wheel Backspacing before you change sizes.
Always match or exceed OE capacity. For full context on capacity and speed requirements, see Tire Load & Speed Ratings and our detailed guide on Tire Load Ratings. If you run LT-metric, P-metric, XL (Extra Load), or higher load range tires, also review Tire Ply Ratings Explained.
Our specialists can recommend the correct load index for your vehicle’s GVWR and use case—daily, towing, off-road, or performance. Prefer a done-for-you setup? Choose a Wheel & Tire Package and we’ll mount, balance, and ship TPMS-ready.
