Car tyre size chart

Car wheel graphics are very useful for drivers to know which wheels their car should have. Without these graphs, drivers would have to know all the indices by heart, as if they were multiplication tables.
In this post we are going to leave you with all the necessary graphics so that you can mount the required wheels on your car and not get any scares.

Why is it important to know the car wheel charts?

It is important to have these charts on hand to know quickly and unequivocally which wheels we should install on our car. And if we install wheels that do not correspond to the characteristics of our car, we run the risk of an accident or a fine.
Therefore, before taking your car to the workshop, make sure you review these tables carefully and check your vehicle documentation to see which wheels are suitable for your car.

Load index chart

The load index chart shows us a number that indicates the maximum load that each wheel of our car can support.
Depending on the weight of your car and that of its occupants, you must choose the appropriate index for your car. And driving a Smart is not the same as driving a 4×4. Keep in mind that if you want to carry cargo in your vehicle, you must choose an index higher than the weight of your vehicle added to the load you want to carry.

If you do not choose the appropriate load index, you run the risk of a wheel blowout due to excessive load.

Take a look at the load index chart, as you can see, it is easy to understand:

Speed index chart

The other important chart is the maximum speed that our car can reach. Wheel manufacturers create different wheels according to different vehicle specifications. One of these specifications is speed. The higher the speed, the stronger the wheel must be to withstand the high speeds.
The speed index is just as important as the load index, so check the following table carefully before mounting the wheels of your vehicles:
