Actually, a "99" load rating is 1,709 lbs., a "90"
load rating is 1,323 lbs.

Vanagons require a "93" load rating, 1,433 lbs., (or
load range 'C') in a light truck or commercial tire or
a "97" load rating in a passenger car tire, since
passenger car tires require a 9% decrease in load
capacity as a safety factor when used in a light truck
or van application.

See <www.tiresafety.com> for info on general tire
information.
