Load index 73
How much weight is load index 73?
Load index 73 means a maximum load of 365 kg (805 lb) per tire.
| Max load (kg) | 365 kg |
|---|---|
| Max load (lb) | 805 lb |
| Sum of two nominal ratings | 730 kg |
What this value can decide
The sum 730 kg is only 365 × 2, for two nominal single-tire ratings. It does not increase the vehicle’s permitted axle weight or payload. Compare the manufacturer’s maximum laden axle weight, full tire marking and required pressure; dual tires need their own rating.
