Tyre Load Ratings
Remember that your MPV is a very heavy vehicle - in the case of the Graniva, more than 2000kg - so you must ensure you fit the correct tyres for the job. You need to ascertain your vehicle's kerbweight, divide it by four (to work out how much weight each wheel carries).
As an example, if a vehicle has a kerbweight of 2000kg:
2000kg divided by 4 wheels = 500kg = Load Index of 84
To ensure optimum safety, increase the index by +3 - hence you would need to fit a tyre with a minimum Load Index of 87
