Re: Tyre info on load rating
Capable and legal if you are involved in an accident are two different things.
94 rating is equal to 500kg per corner (1000kg across the axle) most T25's have a max rear axle load of 1400kg which would make 96 the lowest load rating.
The original 'option tyre' (205/70 R14C) had a 97 or 98 rating....185R14C typically 99/101
Chances are those Conti's will work fine, that's right up until you are involved in an accident and your/there insurance company looks at every way it can avoid paying out on a claim. Tyres are the first thing they look at, irrespective of whether they were a contributory factor in the accident. You will be left high and dry without insurance (same goes for the wheels, which also carry a load index).
