Just going through the process of buying new tyres. Currently I have Olympic Overlander 31 x 10.50R15LT with a load index of 109S. I have completed over 100000kms on all types of road surface throughout Australia with no punctures on these tyres. I am looking at the Cooper ST 31 x 10.50R15LT with a load index of 109Q.

The issue is this. I have just been informed that neither tyre actually conforms with my 80 Series Cruiser, as it has a load index of 112S on the door frame.

My question is, does anyone else with 15 inch rims have tyres that are under the vehicles load index? If so have you had any problems with insurance, roadworthyness, punctures, blowouts etc?

The Olympics were put on the truck by the Toyota dealer on purchase, and it passed a roadworthy, as well as the insurance company insuring it, but are there any other implications for me if a purchase a tyre that is under the vehicle load index?Just Do It!
