Tire load index or tire load rating is a numerical code on a tire sidewall which specifies the maximum load the tire can carry when inflated at its maximum permitted cold pressure, under certain service conditions - specified by the manufacturer.
The load index is identified as a part of the tire size designation or the tire's service description, together with the speed index. E.g., tire size designation: 205/60R15 91V - 91V in "service description" means this tyre can carry maximum load of 615 kg/1356 lb(load index is 91) and it sustains the maximum speed of 240 kmph/149 mph(speed index is V).
Tires with the same load index, regardless of tire size, may carry the same load, but not always, and they may require substantially different inflation pressures. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings, particularly when comparing P-metric and Euro-metric passenger car tires.
Light truck tires mostly use the term Load Range that is marked on a tire with a letter, to denote the maximum load carrying capacity of the tire.
