I have the GTV and placard states minimum load index of 94 and speed rating not less than H. Hope that helps.

Thanks heaps, just wanted to see if it was the same as Magna's fitted with 15/16 inch rims.(they have 94 and H as well, with some older apparently having 95H).
I had been told that the Ralliart and VRX/verada's with 17's had a lower number as Mitsubishi changed it to allow more choice in tyres in that rare 225/50/17 size.
looks like thats wrong.
Thanks

The line I got from MMAL is that with the larger wheel/wider tyre combo on the Ralliart/VR-X SII, the tyre rating didn't need to be as high. My 215/60/16's have to be 95H. Very annoying. However, MMAL did register a design change with the official bodies, for a series 1 TJ with 17 inch wheels and a load rating of 94, so legally you should be able to go and get a new tyre placard from MMAL for a series 1 TJ that has 94 rather than 95 load rating. An engineer showed me on a website.
