The LOAD INDEX is a numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry (except for loads at speeds above 210km/h ) at a speed indicated by its Speed Symbol under service conditions specified by the tire manufacturer.

Passenger car tires - LOAD CAPACITIES AND SPEED LIMITS

Percentage of Load capacity (%)
versus Speed (1)
 

Speed Capability of the vehicle (km/h)	Speed Symbol H %	Speed Symbol V %	Speed symbol W %	Speed symbol Y%

(1)For intermediate maximum speeds, linear interpolations of the tire load capacity is permitted.
(2) For speed capabilities over 300 km/h, the load capacities & the relevant inflation pressures will be agreed between vehicle & tire manufacturers (or their national associations) taking in to consideration the vehicle characteristics & the type of service.
The load capacity quoted in the Standard Manual is the maximum load "per tire" permitted for speed "up to & including 210 km/h".
For speed in excess of 210 km/h, the maximum load per tire shall not exceed the following percentages of the load capacity quoted in the tables, depending on the type of tire & on the speed capability of the vehicle.
For ZR Tyres, the actual speed capabilities, load capacities & the relevant inflation pressures will be agreed between vehicle & tire manufacturers (or their national associations) taking into consideration the vehicle characteristics & type of service.
In the absence of such agreement, it is recommended that for speed capabilities between 240 & 270 km/h, the load capacities & the relevant inflation pressures of ZR tires be the same as for tires "W" speed symbol.
