Hi,
Load is (afaik) 92 front, 96 rear. It's on the tyre by the sizes.
Don't be tempted by lower ratings, your insurance could be voided.

There is no maximum load rating or speed rating. There are minimum load figures, as stated by stilldesperate - speed rating is fairly irrelevant as you're unlikely to find any normal on-road tyres that aren't rated faster than a Bongo can go

ah i see, iam no expert on tyres!
the reason i stated max load 750 kgs is because thats what is wrote on the tyre wall.
i guess they are fine
as for speed- yes i agree never go over 70 mph
cheers

speed rating should be alphabetically no lower than S but if they are H that's ok as that is actually higher
