Call/email Yokohama or their distributor directly, the
tech department should have that info. It's also on
the sidewall expressed as # of lbs. at max pressure,
use a load rating chart to change it from lbs. to a
numerical load rating.


Also ask them for a load rating vs tire pressure chart
so you will know how much air pressure you need to be
putting in them to meet the vehicle's GVWR at each
wheel position. The numbers in the door jamb aren't
relevant anymore when you change from the original
tires specifications.
