Tire Load Index Question
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 9:51 am
I know everyone likes light cars here, but has anyone run a 91 load index tire (1,356lb load rating) on a 4,100lb car as either daily or autox/track tires?
I referred to the load index chart on Discount Tire, but that only talks about maximum load-carrying capacity, which is well above what the car will ever see passenger & cargo wise.
My concern would be in hard braking/turning situations where one or two of the tires can get overloaded.
The only reason I'm even considering this is because I have extra tires from my orange car which is no longer a daily driver that I can potentially use on my new car.
