8 Οκτ 2023 · Tire Load Index Vs Ply Rating. There are two ways to rate tires, the load index and the ply rating. The load index is a numerical code associated with the maximum weight that a tire can support when properly inflated. The ply rating is a measure of tire strength and durability, and is represented by a number followed by “ply.”
25 Οκτ 2022 · Nowadays, the ply rating indicates load durability and works together with the load range rating on tires to show load capacity. In other words, just because the sidewall states 10-ply doesn't mean the tire actually features 10 plies.
Ply Rating vs. Load Index. The ply rating of a tire in the 20th century referred to the layers of cotton fiber stretched within a tire that directly affected the tire’s durability and capability to bear heavier loads.
The load index number indicates a tire’s carrying capacity when inflated to maximum load sustaining pressure. It further explains the tire load range measurement by adding more specifics to the rating. Find your tire’s load-bearing capacity by checking our load index chart below.
31 Οκτ 2023 · In this article, we’ll demystify the concept of tire load ranges, delve deep into terms like load index, speed rating, and ply tires, and empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions for safer, efficient driving.
While Load Range and Ply are used interchangeably, you’ll need the chart in our article Using Load Index and Load Range to Pick the Right Tires to pinpoint the ply rating that corresponds to a Load Range of A – F. When referring to the first chart in the article, you’ll notice the Load Index.
