This review provides an overview of the development and application of the voltage stability index for effective load shedding during contingencies in power systems. The objective is to examine the ...

A tire's load index, as the name suggests, indicates how much weight a tire can support when it's properly inflated to the manufacturer's specifications.

Perhaps the most obvious benefit to knowing your tire's load index is it will help you better understand your vehicle's loading limits, preventing blowouts and further damage.

Why is a tire, when run at slower speed, able to carry same load at lower air pressure?

To determine the strength of your tires, you can consult the Tire Load Index number on the sidewall, which corresponds to the amount of weight it can support while properly inflated.

The only way to truly predict how long a tire will last is to test it. That is exactly what Consumer Reports does with an extensive on-the-road program tire treadwear test. Here's how we predict ...

The load index is expressed as a number corresponding to the maximum load in kg, as shown in the next table. Typically, you will see the load and speed rating at the end of the tyre size stamping.

The temperature on a summer day may be in the 80s or 90s. So why does it feel so much hotter? That's the heat index. Here's how it works.

Truck tires are more than “where the rubber meets the road.” Understanding truck tire sizes, tire load ratings, why ply no longer matters, and more is important for today’s fleet managers.
