EXAMPLE:
Service Description:
95
= Load Index
— A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry

to its load index under certain operating conditions
— The maximum speed corresponding to the speed symbol should only be achieved under
specified operating conditions (i.e., tire pressure, vehicle loading, road conditions, and
posted speed limits)
