NOTES: 1: Bold face denotes maximum load for the (Load Index) in parenthesis.
2: For field or other usage, refer to Table A.
3 The following load limits at various speeds apply with no change in inflation pressure:

*Cyclic applications include the normal usages of loaders, log stackers, etc. The minimum load must not exceed 60% of the maximum rated tire load.
- Maximum one-way haul distance 500 feet (150 meters).
- Vehicle is operating over unimproved but generally level terrain.
- Consult the rim/wheel manufacturer for confirmation of the strength of the rim/wheel for the intended service.
