Additional Information on Light Truck Tires
Please refer to the following diagram.
Tires for light trucks have
other
markings beside those found on
the sidewalls of passenger tires.
LT—The “LT” indicates the tire is
for light trucks or trailers.
ST—An “ST” is an indication the
tire is for trailer only.
Max. Load Dual kg (lbs) at kPa (psi) Cold—This information
indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used
as a dual; that is, when four tires are put on each rear axle (a total of
six or more tires on the vehicle).
Load Range—This information identifies the tire’s load-carrying
capabilities and its inflation limits.
Vehicle Load Limits
Determining the load limits of a vehicle includes more than
understanding the load limits of the tires alone.
[For TT] On a trailer, there is a Federal certification label that is
located on the forward half of the left (road) side of the unit.
