Tire load ratingA is a numerical code
associated with the maximum load a tire can
support.
Aspect ratio
Aspect ratio; is the dimensional
relationship between tire section height and For example, a load rating of 91 corresponds
section width and is expressed in percentage. to a maximum load of 1356 lb (615 kg) the
The aspect ratio is arrived at by dividing
section height by section width.
