Yung oem na 108 load index ia good for 1ton per tire

And yung 102 is good for 850kg per tire so thats 3400kgs total

And since gs is aprox 2200kgs may remaining 1200kgs pa for load

But having a higher load index may be better for that extra buffer zone

Binasa ko yung tire placard sa may pinto ng driver, kapag 215/70/16 108 ang load index pero yung 215/65/17 104 lang.

In that case its safe to say na ok pa din yung 102 load index sa 225 or 235 in our gs

On the brochure, GS's curb weight is 2,204 kgs and gross weight is 2,770 kgs.

With these load indices:
Load Index Chart

So, parked it's 2,204 kgs / 4 tires is 551 kg per tire. So at the very least the tire should have a Load index of 88 (560 kgs).
Say you usually have a driver and a passenger weighing about 150 lbs each (136 kg total), then it's 2,340 kgs or 585 kg per tire. At least 90 load index.
If you have a total of 9 occupants at say 150 lbs average (614 kg total), it's about 705 kg per tire or at least 96 load index.

I agree with fast lane, 102 should be safe enough even if loaded. For my 18s, I had been on 235/50 with a 97 load index for over 2.5 years. Sure it wasn't fully laden most of the time -- average of 2,400 kgs half of the time, or much less for others. Treadwear was the issue for the tire change though. I'm now using 101 load index on 235/50r18.

Sir imm29, what's your tire brand and model now? Im still on 97 load index on my 18's. Been over a year now but im still worried it might blow up due to loading issues hehe. I usually haul my family members around. That's around 8 pax.

Hi bratski,

Now using Sailun Atrezzo ZS+. Pumped up to 45 psi cold all around.

How about you, how much air do you have in your 18s? Oh, and where did you source your 18s?

**bratski** · May 13th, 2014 04:39 PM

How much did you get those sailun tires sir? I bought mine (nankang sp5) for around 5800 each at marikina. I have these tires for a little over a year now. Same tire size as yours 235/50-18. Im a little worried about the 97 load rating as i sometimes load my starex whenever i go out of town. I usually pump in 38 psi front and 40psi at the back. Honestly ride comfort suffered from the stock 16s. Im currently at 37psi all around to minimize bounciness hehe.

Mga P3.6K sir. The 18s have a bit firmer ride than the stock 16s, though it's been too long since I've been on stock 16s so I can't recall the ride anymore.

Where did you get the sailun tires sir? Ang mura pala ng sailun. And would you happen to know if they have the 235/55-18 size? Masyadong mababa yung 235/50-18. Laging sabit yung rear mudguards sa parking stoppers ng mall.

Freddie's Tire Supply along Evangelista. Not sure if they have 55 series though. You can ask them (888-0394) na lang. Ok naman ang 50 series sa akin, it's slightly bigger than the Dunlop LM703 they replaced. What I don't like is the look of the 55 series on our 6 spoke rim design.
