If you are asking why 2 load index numbers are given for one tire, the lower number is specified if the tires are run as pairs or "duals". Commercial tires usually have 2 load indexes as they are often run on dual wheel axle trucks. Found some info in this thread: http://www.expeditersonline.com/trucking/Truck_Topics_1/The_Tool_Box_-_Tires _printer.html it's regarding semi's, but the concept is the same.
