The 123 on your tire is for the load index. The load for this tire is 3417 lbs. The L is the speed rating. For your tire, the speed rating is 75 mph. The load range indicates the horizontal and sidewall strength, measured using ply rating and load pressure, for our Special Trailer and Light-Truck service tires. Load range E is a 10 ply rating.
