Load Range (Ply Rating) is an alphabetical identifier that refer to the number of sidewall plies. For example, the image below shows Load Range E.

Load Index is a numerical identifier that provides the index for both single and dual load range capacity. The Load Index ranges from 1 – 150. Two numbers exists for load index.

Valve stems have rubber components that breakdown over time. Therefore, we strongly recommended to replace valve stems every time you replace your tires. Valve stems are inexpensive and replacing them adds additional assurance that a tire failure, due to loss of air, will not be in your future. So, make sure to replace your valve stems whenever you get new tires.

Refer to RVTires.com Tire Help Valve Stems for additional information.

Important note for vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS): Pressure monitors may require additional parts and/or service. Refer to RVTires.com Tire Help Valve Stems for additional TPMS information.
