    What's Your Load Rating

    Just out of curiosity those with a Polo GTI, could you please go look in your Fuel Filler Cap and you will find your Tyre Placard. On there the first tyre mentioned should be 205/45 R16 And then you will see another number. It could be 83W or 87W or maybe another. Could you vote here please.

    More info off Tyrepower site.

    What is a Tyre Load Rating?
    The Load capacity of a tyre determines what payload each tyre can carry. It is vital that you check with your manufacturer what capacity should be put on your car. Again in cases insurance can be void if you select the incorrect tyres. The following table shows what Index specification can carry.
    83W is 487kg per tyre
    87W is 545kg per tyre.

    Could you also post what you have.... Sorry for the inconvenience but if you have something other then a 83W i would like to know more info.

    This is the reason why i ask.
