Question:
Where can I find a chart that will tell the weight rating of a tire by the letter? to try and make this simpler a chart like load rating A + = how many pounds?, B = ?#, etc???

Expert Reply:
Load ranges will vary based on the tire size. For example a Load Range C tire in the 4.80-12 tire size like the part # AM30660 that you referenced has a 990 lb capacity at 90 psi.
A Load Range C ST205/75D14 like part # AM3S440 would have a 1,760 lb capacity at 50 psi.
I wish I had a simpler answer to provide for you.
