Tire load index on 94/95 GT

Does anyone know what is the tire load index on this car? From what I gather stock tire size is 225/55R16, but I can't find load index anywhere, factory leaflet has been torn away on my car, and there's nothing in the manual.

Can anyone help me out. Right now I'm looking for winter Kumho KW17 225/55 R16 95H tires, and I wonder if they are ok, or if I need to get extra load tires.

Also, if the index is higher I will have to tweak the pressure, right?

Just buy the correct tire size for your car and it will work just fine.

The load index is very important and is part of the size of the tire.

You wont have to increase tire inflation pressures with a higher load index tire. The stock O.E. inflation pressures will work fine.
