Hi,
Can someone explain this to me. In Nissan's owners manual they have the statement
Your vehicle is equipped with special high load
index 94 tires to carry a payload of up to
1,500 lbs (680 kg) as indicated on your tire
information placard. Some aftermarket replacement
tires may have lower load index ratings.
While NISSAN does not encourage you to do so,
please note that if you choose to purchase a tire
with a lower load index rating, the max payload
capacity of your vehicle will be reduced (for example,
tires with load index 84 would reduce max
payload to 750 lbs (340 kg) and tires with load
index 88 would reduce max payload to 1,200 lbs
(544 kg)).
According to this
Tire Load Rating max payload
94 1500 lbs
88 1200 lbs
84 750 lbs
If I look at the load rating charts at Discount tire it says
Tire Load Rating Load lbs.
94 1477 pretty close
88 1235 pretty close
84 1102 not close
What am I missing? I'm look at an NV200 and the tires have been replaced with these and I'm trying calculate how much I could safely carry.
