Load on Tyre
Riding your motorcycle in an overloaded condition is dangerous. Overloading causes excessive heat to build up in your tyres. This can lead to sudden tyre failure and serious personal injury or death while the tyre is overloaded. Never exceed the maximum load rating stamped on the tyre sidewall of your tyre or the maximum vehicle load rating, whichever is less.
Load Index
This is a numerical code written on tyre sidewall which shows the maximum load that tyre can carry.
