[ "Get a detailed idea about your tyre's load indexThe tyre load index is otherwise known as tyre hire loadindex, tyre load rating or load capacity index. The maximum capacity of loadthat can be carried by a tyre is identified by this capacity. This is alsocalled the absolute carrying capacity of GoodyearTyres Sturminster Newton.The maximum load capacityKnowing the quantity of weight that can be carried by thetyres before going on a trip with your car packed is crucial. Your tyre is notmeant for carrying loads of any size you put on it. That is the reason you mustnever exceed the load limit of your tyre. The exact load capacity of your tyrecant be assumed. The maximum possible tyre load is indicated by the figure.You can have a glance at the tyre sidewall or the registration number of yourvehicle, to calculate the load that can be carried by your car or therims The labelling can be found there. The tyres load capacity is indicated by the two- to the three-digit number found in the penultimate position. However, calculating thetyre load rating is easier by using the load index tables offered by many tyresites. For the respective load rating, the maximum load for your tyres can befound out in terms of kilograms. The 87 in the penultimate position is relevantfor a tyre code with the digits 195/55 R16 87 V: a tyre load rating of 87isrepresented by this i.e. 545 kilograms of load capacity.Never exceed beyondthe tyres maximum load capacity You must not go beyond the limit of your tyres loadcapacity as this is a legal need. In addition, the risk of tyre damage is alsoavoided. The relative indication of the load capacity is affected by the airpressure in your tyres and your car speed. More pressure is exerted on the tyreby driving with a heavy load and driving at an accelerated speed. The tyre getsstressed extensively. The tyre gets damaged or deteriorated if the load exceeds the limit. Other aspects like the lifespan of the tyre also come intoplay here. But, you must remember one thing: The defects caused in the tyres asa result of excess load can be prevented by maintaining the load on your carwithin the load capacity limit. When it is a matter of the load capacity of the tyre, theair pressure in the tyre is essential. As you decrease the air pressure in thetyre, your cars load capacity also decreases. When you increase the tyres airpressure, the load capacity of the car also increases. However, you must notexceed the suggested guide value as this will result in a change in drivingpattern. By principle, an increase in air pressure by 0.1 bars will result in anincrease in the load index of the tyre by one unitCalculator for tyresLoad capacity The surest and easiest way of calculating the tyres loadindex is referring to the load index table. However, if the permissible ratingweight is already known, finding out the next highest values is possible withouta table.The tyre load index of wintervs. summer tyresYou wont necessarily find a deviation between a winter tyreand a summer tyre load index. However, a different load capacity index is presentin the tyre if the tread diameter or depth differs. The tyres face more toughweather challenges in winter as compared to the summer. Braking distanceincreases and driving gets tougher whether you are driving on ice or snowUsing a tyre withhigher load indexYour car must not be at risk by using a load rating exceedingthe recommended one. However, tyres lacking the suggested load index must notbe used in your car. In the UK, driving with tyres having a low rating is risky andpunishable by the Law. Riding Quality andthe load index of a tyre The riding quality and the load index of the Tyres Sturminster Newton;are not correlated directly.Stiffer ride, higher PSIs and taller sidewalls indicate major load indexincrease often. Riding quality is rather affected more by the inflation level,tread depth and suspension condition." ]
