Identifying Loads on Tyres

Standard Load and Extra Load are used to identify a given size tyre with its load and inflation limits when used in the specific service as defined in the heading of the Tyre and Rim tables.

Ply Rating - The term “Ply Rating” is used to identify a given tyre with its maximum recommended load when used in a specific type of service. It is an index of tyre strength and does not necessarily represent the number of cord plies in the tyre.
