Tyre load ratings
The load capacity of a tyre determines what weight each tyre is able to carry.
It is vital that you check with your experts at Hyper what capacity should be put on your car. In some cases your insurance can become void if you select the incorrect tyres.
The load rating is generally found after the diameter reading and before the speed rating on the sidewall marking, like so:
