Load and Speed Ratings
 ❱PLY RATING 
Originally tyres were marked with the exact number of canvas  layers 
(plies) built into the tyre. This was an indication of the  strength of the 
tyre. As stronger materials were developed,  the number of layers could 
be reduced - maintaining the same  strength of the tyre. The designation 
”Ply Rating“ therefore  does not indicate the actual number of layers 
(plies) in the  tyre, but the number of layers originally required to give the 
desired load capacity. When working with PR marked tyres, the  actual 
manufacturers data must be used to determine the load  capacity in kg 
(or pounds). This lead to a new distinction. Load  Range as shown below.
 ❱LOAD AND SPEED RATINGS 
On the sidewall of a tyre you can find the load index and Speed  
Symbol following the key sidewall size markings. 
•	 The Load Index is a numerical code associated with the  
maximum load a tyre can carry. 
•	 The Speed Symbol indicates the speed at which the tyre can  
carry a load corresponding to its load index
