Tire Load Range Chart
In this page you will find the tire load range chart with maximum tire inflation which values at maximum tire load capacity for passenger, light truck and trailer tires.
| Tire Load Range | Description | Maximum Load Tire Pressure |
|---|---|---|
| LL | Light Load | 36 / 42 psi (2.5 / 2.9 bar or 248 / 290 kPa) |
| SL | Standard Load | 36 / 42 psi (2.5 / 2.9 bar or 248 / 290 kPa) |
| XL | Extra Load | 42 / 51 psi (2.9 / 3.5 bar or 290 / 352 kPa) |
| RF | Reinforced | 42 / 51 psi (2.9 / 3.5 bar or 290 / 352 kPa) |
Light Truck Tire Load Range Chart
| Tire Load Range | Description | Maximum Load Tire Pressure |
|---|---|---|
| B | 4-ply | 35 psi (2.4 bar or 241 kPa) |
| C | 6-ply | 50 psi (3.4 bar or 345 kPa) |
| D | 8-ply | 65 psi (4.5 bar or 448 kPa) |
| E | 10-ply | 80 psi (5.5 bar or 552 kPa) |
| F | 12-ply | 95 psi (6.6 bar or 655 kPa) |
| G | 14-ply | 110 psi (7.6 bar or 758 kPa) |
The tire load range or for short tire ply rating recognizes the most extreme burden the tire can convey at its predetermined air pressure. All in all, it characterizes how much air the tire can hold and how much weight it can convey. Tire load range is utilized to separate tires with same size, however different strength because to internal construction. The stronger the tire development, the more air pressure it can hold and more weight it can carry.
Tires with higher burden ranges can convey heavier burdens, and typically are more durable. Tire load range is marked on tire sidewall. For P-Metric passenger tire sizes, load range changes from Light Load (LL), Standard Load (SL) to Extra Load (XL). For European measurement tire sizes, load range can be Standard Load (SL), Reinforced (RF) or on the other hand Extra Load (XL). On the off chance that no load range is indicated, it is a Standard Load (SL) by default. Light truck tire sizes and ST-metric special trailer service tire sizes use load ranges that rise in alphabetical order with more grounded tires distinguished by letters further along in the letters in order. Ply rating is somewhat outdated, and today the quantity of plies just speaks to its equivalent strength. When changing to various tire sizes on your vehicle, tire load index and tire load range helps define the best possible tire expansion for new tires. Ensure that tire load index on new tires is equivalent to or more prominent than on the original equipment tires to ensure that your new tires have adequate burden ability to convey your vehicle's weight.
Check tire load index chart for tire load indexes and their corresponding maximum weight a tire can support when properly inflated.
