This term is used to identify the maximum rated static load capability and corresponding inflation pressure applicable to specific operational requirements. The ply rating is an indication of tyre strength and does not specify the actual number of carcass plies within that tyre. For example, a 49×17 (32PR) may actually have only 18 plies built into the carcass to accommodate the maximum static load at the corresponding inflation pressure.
