Load index 0 to 60

The bottom of the load index table, every row on one page. Index 0 is 45 kg (99 lb) for one tire; index 60 is 250 kg (551 lb). Across this range each step up adds between 1.2 and 7 kg.

A load index is the capacity of one tire at the inflation pressure the standard specifies for that rating, on a correctly sized rim, on a sound and undamaged tire. It is not a capacity at any pressure you choose, and it is not a licence to load a vehicle past its own axle and gross weight ratings.

The table, 0 to 60

Kilograms are the published value. Pounds are derived: pounds = kilograms x 2.20462262185, rounded to the nearest pound. 60 of these 61 rows rest on two published tables, the minimum this site accepts; few published tables print this end of the range at all.

* AmesWeb gives 97.5 kg for load index 27; Your Auto Vision gives 97 kg. Indices 20 to 28 rise in an exact 2.5 kg step in both tables (80, 82.5, 85, 87.5, 90, 92.5, 95, ?, 100), which 97.5 continues and 97 breaks. The 97.5 reading is stored for that reason and the alternative is printed here so the choice is visible rather than hidden.

Where to go from here

Load index 61 - the first index above this range with its own page, 257 kg per tire.
Printable load index chart - 0 to 150 with the four-tire total, page-broken for printing.
The full load index chart - 0 to 150 in one table.
Load range letters - a construction grade and pressure rating, which is a different thing from the load index.
Speed symbol table - the letter printed after the load index.

Where these figures come from

Computed on this page, not looked up. Each figure and the arithmetic behind it:

Pounds pounds = kilograms x 2.20462262185, rounded to the nearest pound

Published values here were read from 3 independent sources:

Tyre Load Index Chart (LI 0-150) - AmesWeb, states ETRTO and SAE tables as the basis (read 2026-08-27)
Load index 0 to 150, kilograms
Tire Load Rating Chart - Your Auto Vision, page dated 21 April 2026 (read 2026-08-27)

These are independent publishers, not independent measurements. Each one reproduces a table originally set by a standards body, so agreement between them shows a value was transcribed correctly, not that the underlying table is right. Where a figure is safety relevant, check it against the tire manufacturer's own data before relying on it.

Load index 27: 97.5 kg (LI-AMESWEB) against 97 kg (LI-AUTOVISION). Indices 20 to 28 rise in an exact 2.5 kg step in both tables, which 97.5 continues and 97 breaks. The 97.5 reading is stored and the alternative is printed alongside it.
