The Load Index market of Automotive Tires is a measure of the maximum weight that a tire can safely support. It is represented by a numerical code on the sidewall of the tire, which indicates the load-carrying capacity of a tire. The higher the load index number, the greater the load capacity of the tire. The load index is determined by the tire manufacturer and is based on the tire's construction, materials, and design. The Load Index market is an important factor in determining the performance and safety of a vehicle. It is important to select the correct load index for the vehicle, as tires with a lower load index may not be able to support the weight of the vehicle and its cargo. Some of the companies in the Load Index market include Bridgestone, Goodyear, Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, Yokohama, and Hankook. Show Less Read more
