Most alphanumeric tires feature a load range of B, which indicates that they are restricted to the load that can be carried at a maximum inflation pressure of 32 psi. C, D, or E tires are capable of greater loads. Most load range C, D, and E tires are intended for light-truck applications.
Maximum load ratings denoted in pounds or kilograms are also included on the sidewall of the tires. Current load indexes used for cars and light-duty trucks range from 70 to 110, or 761 to 2337 pounds, respectively. The higher the load index number, the greater the tire's load carrying capacity:71 = 761 pounds or 345 kilograms
