Tyre load rating

[Ph1 Tom]

Just about to order some 205 50 15 tyres for the standard 7J OZ F1. The load rating is 89. Will this cause any problems with handling or is 89 ok on the Clio?

 

[Adam G]

It's essentially the weight that the tyre can handle. 89 equates to 580kg per corner so a Clio is no problem.

So potentially makes for a stiffer sidewall? I guess this would be a good thing on Federal RS-R.

Yep stiffer sidewall
