Dear Tony,
Obviously, with that kind of an attitude, you are clearly not
cut out for government work nor committees!
Warmest regards Chuck Engles

What dope decided to replace numbers with a number? Would it really be so
onerous if it said 1389/130?

Ooh! Ooh! I know this one!
The number is the load index, or how much weight the tire is designed to
support. The number itself is meaningless - you need to look it up on a
chart. For example, 91 means 1356 pounds, 92 means 1389 pounds, 94 means
1477 pounds...
The letter is the speed rating- H is 130mph in your example.
The speed rating is continuous speed. Short bursts above your speed rating
is probably fine, but autobahn or ORR continuous cruising at those speeds
will cause problems.

Can anyone say what the designations at the end of tire sizes means?
For example 195/65R15 ...... 91H, 92H, 94H, 98H?
Thanks,
Have fun now,
