Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Identification markings on the tyre sidewall, tyres with run-flat system
(PAX)
As compared to standard tyres, run-flat tyres (PAX) have
different codes and designations on the sidewall. This makes it
easy to identify run-flat tyres. |

The load rating can be found on the sidewall of the tyre. It
provides information about the maximum load that the tyre can bear. |
The load rating is included in the size designation of the tyre
(e.g. 195/65 R 15 91T). It is indicated on the tyre as a code according
to ETRTO. The following table shows the load rating codes with the
corresponding load capacity of the tyres. |
