there is an extra number on tyres and it is the load index.
From memory the minimum we can use is 85 from memory.
A lot of tyre shops do not know anything about the load index and incorrectly fit tyres to cars.
If you have an accident and your tyres are below the load index rating your claim can be dismissed as your car should not have been on the road as it was illegal.
My friend just got a set of tyres, I get home check them and tell him to take his car back as they are not legal.
He took it back and had to call me to bring down proof that they knew nothing.
I made him return the tyres and get a full refund and go elsewhere as the tyre shop kept telling me I knew nothing and was wrong.
They sold him tyres rated at 82 and his car is 84 minimum.
