RE: Understanding Tires Ratings
One of the confusing things is selecting tires for our Vanagons is the
reference in the original specs to 'Ply Ratings'.  Ply ratings are a
throwback to bias ply tires and were replaced or supplemented with 'Load
Range' like A, B etc (we want C or D) and that is now being superseded by
'Load Index' numbers (we want 96-97 or better).
