Maximum load rating

Subaru Forester / Subaru Forester Owners Manual / Consumer information and Reporting safety defects / Tire information / Tire labeling / Maximum load rating

The load rating at the maximum permissible weight load for this tire.

For example, “MAX. LOAD 580 kg (1279 LBS) @ 300 kPa (44 PSI) MAX. PRESS.”

Maximum load rating applies

Maximum load rating applies only to the tire, not to the vehicle. Putting a load rated tire on any vehicle does not mean the vehicle can be loaded up to the tire’s rated load.
