I have been gifted a nearly new Continental ContiSport3 from a friend who has changed alloys and I want to buy a new matching one to make a pair.

Black circles list 2 versions tho....one with 87 and one with 91 loads.

Is there any way to tell from the specs stamped on the rim which load it is??

You could read the tyre load number off the side of the tyre

Seriously, it should say something like 225/45 R17 91Z on the side of it, where 91 is the load rating.
