What is the minimum load rating when looking at buying a tire? I did not receive a manual with my car, so I am not sure if this information is readily available. Did a search and did not find anything. Does anyone have the number for gross vehicle weight?


Thanks

that gives me a load capacity of 4800 pounds

sufficient? or am I playing too close to the edge

By way of comparison the goodyear eagle F1 GS-D3
in the stock size has a load rating of 92Q 1390 pounds each for a total of 5560 - roughly 800 pounds more

thoughts?


thanks again
