Title: Tyre load rating
Post by: rmb3218 on July 01, 2014, 07:59:06 AM

Hi all

I am looking at some new tyres for my Patrol ute. One them is Yokohama Geolander G012 ATS 265/75R16 119/116R. I understand single load rating load rating ( 119=1360kg) but can some explain the dual 119/116 load rating.

Thanks Kevin

I'm pretty sure it meant that the tyre load rating drops above a certain speed.

So I think that in your instance, it would mean that the tyres are rated at 1360kg until a certain speed, then 1250 until 170kph.

This is the reply I received from Yokahama tyres

The 119 is for a single wheel axle(1 wheel each side) and the 116 is for a dual wheel (2 wheels each side)axle.
 
The 119 would apply if you have a standard single wheel axle on the patrol.
