Exclusive summary about Tire Load Range by Ernest Jarquio
When purchasing new tires it is important to understand tire load range and how it affects these different elements of driving in order to make an educated decision about which tires to buy.
The tire load range is a figure that should be marked on the tire's sidewall. Trucks and vans that will carry a heavy load or multiple passengers will require stronger, more durable tires and so their tire load range rating should be higher.
The tire load range is an important factor to consider when purchasing new tires.
You will have a lot of factors to consider when purchasing new tires including the size, price, brand and tire load range. It's kind of like one tire manufacturer's slogan says: "There is a lot riding on your tires".

Exclusive summary about Tire Maximum Load by Guy Goodyear
Most of us never stop to think about the maximum load our tires can support. The first is the Load Index. LOAD 875 kg (1929 lb.).
Problems can arise because this number is very often different than the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maximum tire pressure. The maximum load carrying capacity of the most tires is rated as either Standard Load or Extra Load. Standard Load tires are limited by the load that can be carried with a maximum inflation pressure of 35 psi. The same goes for Extra Load tires; however, the maximum inflation pressure is 41 psi.
If you see either ‘XL’, ‘Reinforced’ or, simplest of all ‘Extra Load’ then you have Extra Load tires. Standard Load tires are well…standard. Some Standard Load tires are branded with a maximum inflation of 44 psi. It in no way increases the tire’s maximum load.
Even if the tires can take it, sometimes the vehicle can’t.
