G Load Range RV Tires vs F and H [What is Difference?]

Truck tires typically come in two load ratings: G and H.

The G-rated trailer tires are specially designed for handling large RVs and trailers. They have a higher weight tire capacity than other tires and can take a variety of terrains. They can handle about 4400 lbs each. Each model tire is a little different.

An H load range tire can handle much more, about 6700 lbs each. Infographic:

 

Tires are rated by how much weight they can carry, and have a ply rating.
