Technical information

Load Index

Determines the maximum load that the tire alone can carry (vehicle plus transported load) at the correct air pressure for the incident load.
Air pressure

The correct calibration, according to the total incident load on the tire and the position in which it is used in the vehicle (single or dual mounting), allows to obtain the best performance, a higher mileage, the use of the carcass for reforms and a even tire wear.
Load and Speed

It is possible to carry more load than determined by the tire load index, as long as the maximum operating speed determined by the speed symbol is decreased.
Speed Symbol

Determines the maximum speed to which the tire can be subjected, with maximum load corresponding to its load index, under the service conditions specified by the tire manufacturer.
