Tyre load index

[Blaze0010]

Currently looking for tyres, but while i have already decided to go with 195/50 on a 15 inch rims, i was curious on what load and velocity index people use.
In the original document (Austrian) of my 86 i only have 13 inch rims with an 84H for load and velocity index.
In the rental hachi i took last year in Japan, there was a 195/50 r15 with an 82V index.
Looking for tyres i can see that 84H is a rare combination, an i can mostly find 82 ones.
Just to add, i will go with the 21 StVZO in Germany with Chris from RHD Speedmaster to have german papers, and i don't know if what i have in the old austrian paper will be taken in consideration. If this is the case i will just go with the 86 load index.
But, what do you have?

82 is 475kg and 84 is 500kg either should be more than enough to cover our light cars.
H is 210kmh so H and above will also cover you without any problems.

While the 15" wheels are mentioned in the Swiss paperwork it only mentions speed and size/width of the wheels and tires as well as the gross weight of the car.

Sorry to bring this back, but i've got some new info, but i'm just confused on how it will work at the Tüv inspection and maybe someone could help me to understand.
Basically, as written above, on the austrian paper that i have, the tire load index is 84H.
I recently got in contact with another 86 owner in Germany, who shared with me his tire information written in the German paper, and he have as load index 76H, which seems right for a light car.
My doubt is, if i mount 82H tire to the Tüv inspection, what will be taken as reference, my 84H in the austrian paper or the 76H/what they have in the archive?
82H has a ton of tire compare to 86V, and i'm really trying to have everything perfect to pass inspection with no hiccups

If I'm not wrong, in Switzerland it's Gesamtgewicht (fully loaded max weight) divided by the number of tires (4), unless there's any specified axle load (e.g. if you have a truck of some kind), which gives you the minimal load index you must have.

Described like this seems like they will use common sense to choose the tire load, which make sense.
Looking at documents and reported load index, it's possible that in Germany a similar thing is done.
What i mean is, here i have the max load for front and rear axle



And dividing by 2 the rear, that have a higher max weight of 800kg, i get 400kg for wheels, that is exactly a 76 in the load index, as reported to the other 86 owner German paper.
This give me hope

I'd go for that, honestly. If they decide that's not good enough, ask them for the regulations that govern the tire load index.

We have this to govern what a vehicle must fulfill: SR741.41 Verordnung über die technischen Anforderungen an Strassenfahrzeuge

Thanks for all these info, definitely useful!
The day of the TÜV inspection is approaching, hopefully in the next month, and tension is rising
