Tyre Load Index (LI) Chart

The Load Index (LI) is a numerical code that indicates a tyre’s maximum load-carrying capacity under specified service conditions for a single fitment. Tyre identification combines a Load Index and a Speed Symbol (e.g., 91H or 121/119S for single/dual). Values below list the reference load in kilograms per tyre for single mounting.

How to Use the Tyre Load Index (LI) Chart

Example: If your tyre marking shows 205/55R16 91V, the load index is 91. From the chart, LI 91 = 615 kg per tyre. For a typical passenger car with 4 tyres:

Per-tyre capacity: 615 kg
Total (4 tyres): 615 × 4 = 2460 kg

Notes: Vehicle manufacturers specify GAWR (axle) and GVWR (vehicle) limits. The chart shows the standardized load capacity associated with LI and is not a substitute for OEM specifications. Always follow the vehicle placard and tyre manufacturer guidance.

Quick Estimator

Enter an LI value from the table and the number of tyres; the tool will read the corresponding kg capacity from the chart on this page and estimate the total capacity.

Load Index (LI)

Number of tyres

Per-tyre capacity	— kg
Estimated total capacity	— kg

Tip: Use the page’s “Jump to LI” / search to highlight a row, then estimate here.

Notes: Values are for single tyre mounting. For dual fitments, consult the tyre manufacturer’s data. Always respect the lower of the tyre, rim, and vehicle limits.
