On the Goodyear chart, under some psi columns, the weight number will be in bold print followed by a letter in parenthesis i.e. 4080(F).

Can someone explain to me the reason for the bold numbers?

Thanks,

On the Goodyear chart the bold means that for the "F" rated tire, 4080 pounds is the heaviest weight that tire can handle. As you go to the right, you will find the heaviest weight that the "G" rated tire can handle.

(Same rim diameter and dimensions tire available in 2 different load ratings)

Thanks! I could not find that explanation anywhere on the Goodyear web site. Again, thanks!

When tire company posts PSI is that the required minimum PSI for a particular load on the tire? For example, I can go up to max PSI for any particular load but the disadvantage would be a rougher ride? Within reason of course because a tire would wear more in the center with a very light load and max PSI. That said, doubt there are many MHs on the road today with too light of a load on their tires.
