Bulli:
Hmmm, buy your ear defenders here!!!!! Its the sidewalls i dont like, all over the place on the ones i had...not reassuring. very good in the slime though.

muddyweb:
The load rating is per tyre.    The weight of the vehicle is spread over the number of tyres on the vehicle.

It's not quite as simple as diving by 4 (or 6 if you are David), because the axle weights will be different.  But you get the idea.

Bulli:
pux, they arent much different from BFG's off road..but nowhere near as good on road!

datalas:
true, but as a *rough* guide would it suffice,  for example...

the tyres mentioned above give a value of around 4 tonnes assuming you have four of them, does this mean that with a disco being around 2, they're fine and dandy...  

with due consideration to the fact that it's a *very* rough measure should teh answer not be double the weight of the vehicle ?

As a rough guide, yes.  Don't forget, you need to calculate on the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle... just the same as with the speed ratings
