It can be higher than recommended but never lower. 12 95 PSI.
65 psi Load Range.
Load range e vs d. Load range D has a capacity of 1220 lbs at 65 psi whereas load range E has a capacity of 1520 lbs at 80 psi. Basically the only difference between the two is the weight capacity. Last if youre pulling a trailer that requires special trailer service tires those tires are going to be labeled ST Youll be able to tell the specific load range on the tires sidewall descriptions.
Special trailer service tires have load ranges of B C D or E which correspond to their specific ply ratings 4-ply rated 6-ply rated 8-ply rated or 10-ply rated. Still not sure how to find your tire load range. Is Load Range E better than D.
Load range D has a capacity of 1220 lbs at 65 psi whereas load range E has a capacity of 1520 lbs at 80 psi. Basically the only difference between the two is. Load Range Ply Rating Abbreviated Maximum Load Pressure 295mm 115 wide Maximum Load Pressure 295mm 115 wide.
35 psi 240 kPa C. 50 psi 350 kPa 35 psi 240 kPa D. 65 psi 450 kPa 50 psi 350 kPa E.
80 psi 550 kPa 65 psi 450 kPa F. 95 psi 650 kPa 80 psi 550 kPa. If you have a steel wheel the capacity should be stamped on the backside lip of the wheel.
If you have an alloy wheel this rating should be stamped on the back side of the wheel spokes. A ST22575R15 load range E tire like AM10303 will have a capacity of 2830 lbs at 80 psi. If the wheel has a similar weight capacity you will be good to go.
Light truck load ranges have letters B C D E and F and they have increasing maximum pressures. The lowest pressure is for B tires with 35 psi and C has a pressure of 50 psi. The pressures increase in increments of 15 from 65 psi 80 psi and 95 psi for tires with load ranges of D E and F.
What is the Load Range. Load range is the older measurement standard of PLY Rating This refers to the construct of the tire which is made out of rubber and cord layers referred to as plies Historically more plies meant a tire had a larger load carrying capacity so manufacturers would count a tires plies and use this number to denote carrying capacity. The size does matter in the case of performance.
The maximum capacity of any load range tires is more or less the same. For instance LT24575R16 tires have a load capacity of 2205 lbs and 2623 lbs for C-rated and D-rated respectively. Being higher incapacity a range D tire needs higher inflation pressure.
Load Range Is Based on Ply Rating A tires Load Range can be found on the tires sidewall represented by a letter usually after the tire size 35X1250 R17E for example. This code represents the ability of the tire to hold air and weight. The higher the load range AG the heavier load.
Actually load range E does not have 10 ply sidewalls or even more plies than a load range D or C. In fact most light truck tires have couple of body plies and a steel belt except BF Goodrich with triguard have 3 body plies and 2 steel belts probably other manufacturers also have it Im not following up whats coming lately and that is regardless if its range E or C. A load range D tire has the same load capacity as a load range C tire if it is inflated to 50 psi and will provide the same ride characteristics.
Load range D tires only provide more capacity and a harsher ride if they are inflated to the higher-rated design pressure. 65 psi Load Range. 80 psi Load Range.
E As you can see the load carrying capability of the tires varies greatly and is designed to meet the needs of the heavier 34- and 1-ton axle weights when you get into load ranges D and E. Maximum load is rated for popular P-metric and LT tires. Tire Load Ranges Inflation Pressure Assigned For Maximum Load Ratings P-metric Light Load LL 35 psi Standard Load SL 35 psi Extra Load XL 41 psi Light Truck Load Range C LRC 50 psi Load Range D LRD 65 psi Load Range E LRE 80.
Load Range and Ply Rating. Max Load Carrying Air Pressure. Standard Load SL 4 36 PSI.
Extra Load XL 4 42 PSI. 6 50 PSI. 6 35 PSI.
8 65 PSI. 8 50 PSI. 10 80 PSI.
10 65 PSI. 12 95 PSI. 14 110 PSI.
Well E load range tires means 10 ply. Dependant on the tires size you have and what youd like to get the difference in load range D and load range E may be a significant amount of per tires BUT. A load range D tire is perfectly capable of sustaining a load that a load range E tire does.
Obviously if they are identical size the E tire will carry more load than the D tire. The LT Michelin is Load Range E rated at 3195 pounds at 80 psi and weighs 49 pounds despite having less tread depth than the P-metric tire 1232 inch versus 1432. The Load Range C.
I was concerned that it was a load range D and not E. The Yokohama and the Goodyear GSA both have a load capacity of 3525 50 psi per tire. Since 50 PSI is the maximum amount of pressure you can put in the tire using the CTIS pump for all practical purposes the tires are equal in the load they will carry.
An E rated tire will handle more load weight per tire than a C or D rated tire. But it will hold less than the F or G and H rated versions. The disadvantage the E rated tire has is that it.
When i bough my bfg ats i noticed that the E rated tires were a bit smaller and the tread wasnt as deep as the D rated tires. Both were 2857516s but the D tire was a little taller than the Es. Tacomanator Jul 26 2010.
Load range C load range D or load range E tires are capable of greater loads. Most load range C D and E tires are intended for light-truck applications. The load-carrying capacity of Pmetric tires is rated as either Standard or Extra Load.
Standard Load tires are limited by the load that can be supported with a maximum inflation pressure of. The load range is identified by a letter of the alphabet usually from A to F which represents the ply rating and load pressure. A rating of E on the tire means the tire has a ply rating 10 and a load pressure of 80 psi.
In addition to tire size the specific load range is important to help ensure load-carrying capacity to match the vehicle placard. The load range designated by letters such as C D or E is required to be marked on the tire and is also specified on the vehicle placard Toth said. Euro-Metric tires are intended for passenger vehicle use.
Load ranges are arranged in alphabetical order starting with the letter A. The ply ratings load range combined with the tire size tell you the tire load capacity. The load range on replacement tires must meet or exceed the recommendation on your vehicles door placard or owners manual.
It can be higher than recommended but never lower.
