hey guys
i just broguht a set of 18 x 8 for my TE
its got a 45 offset and 225/40ZR18 tyres
my mate told me its got a load rating of 88 but magnas have a load rating of 96???
i was wondering is there an side effects of drivin with this
or shall i get new tyres with the right load rating??
thanks alot guys for ur help

The only real concern is its defectable (if the cops look hard enough)

Magna's load ratings are bloody high and really for no reason. A load rating means how much weight the tyre can handle.

i asume there would be some side effect of the rating wouldnt exist but i do know that an insurance company will not cover u if u r usin the wrong ratin tyres

insurance isnt realli my concern as if i do have an accident *touch wood*i think ill be able to change them back quick enough.... hopefully :doubt:

but wat i realli wanna know is tat is there any damage with drivin with the worng load rating.
like will my tyres pop under me...... scary!!!! :confused:
but thanks guys for ur quick reply

The tyres should be fine if kept at the right pressure (I think one of the Toyo sites has the conversion chart). The Magna load ratings are WAY over engineered. You will get MURDERED by the insurance company if caught. The lowest load rating for gen3 Magna's is 94. Keep those tyres pumped up hard!

rockmag do u happen to be able to help me find the site??
is so tat would be greatly appreciated

Go to www.toyo.com.au and click on the 'Tech Info Bulletin' link. The article you are looking for is in the left column 'Inflation Pressure Part 3 - Plus Sizing.'

The lowest load rating for gen3 Magna's is 94. Keep those tyres pumped up hard!
Umm... the air is not the issue. It's the strength of the sidewall construction.

Lowest gen3 is 94 but only select TE's and TJ's. All else is 95.

If you kill someone and the tyres are deemed a contributing factor, you can be charged and you won't have insurance.
