My new SR5 Hilux came with road tyres with a higher then normal load rating. When i went down to put a set of mud tyres on i have been told that nobody makes a tyre with a rating that high. As it is illegal to fit a tyre with a lower load rating then recommended by the manufacture what can i do.
Can any body help.

There was a bit of discussion on this earlier, it turned out that the bloke selling the tyres didn't know what he was talking about.
Go somewhere else and get a second or third opinion.
It is illigal to fit a tyre with a lower load rating than that on the tyre placard on your vehicle, it has insurance implications as
well.
