The load capacity index can be found on the sidewall of the tire. It provides information about the maximum load that the tire can bear.
The load capacity index is located in the size designation, e.g. 195/65 R 15 91T, of the tire. It is indicated on the tire as a code according to ETRTO. The following table shows the load capacity index with the corresponding load capacity of the tires.
