As indicated in the table below, the load index is directly related to a kilogram weight. The tyre load index in this example is 105 so that it can carry a maximum load of 925kg.Rating of speedA letter in the example 'V' shows the speed rating and indicates how fast the tyre can operate if the maximum loads are carried. The speed rating letter is for speed, as shown in the following table, which is shown in miles or kilometres per hour.

Not all tyres have indicators of tread wear, so you must check your tread depth frequently.5. Date Code of FabricationThe information on when your tyre has been fabricated is displayed as a string of numbers and letters that look like DOTXXXXXXX1017. The last four numbers concern the date of production so that the age of your pneumatic can be identified.The date code for this example is 1017, which would indicate that the piping was produced in the 10th week of 2017.6.
