Sport Contact 3 concerned about load rating

[paul]

about to buy some new wheels that were previously from a 172 , it has the above tyre on it, that ive read has a load rating of 80 on blackcircle, my current pe2's are 83 which im im guessing is not good. i read that anything above 83 is better not below,

i thought the 172 / 200 ran these tyres ?
thanks

anyone please ?

 

[paul]

are tyres that have a load rating of 80 a concern for a 182 ?? thanks

Theres more to it than just load rating.

Tyre size,
Pressure,
XL, reinforced or standard construction.

Theres a Bridgestone tyre fitment manual online somewhere that shows the load for different tyres at different pressures.

. Pasting the link from my phone, so hopefully that works. Some of the recent obscure sizes arent shown as its from 2006.

thanks for your post really confussed now, i would have bought some 83 tyres as that is what the manual advises, just that the wheel i am hoping to buy come with these tyres that im under the impression are only rated at 80 hence unsure if this is ok?

thanks
