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.

it's regarding semi's, but the concept is the same.

I run 195R14 C  tires front and rear.  The load index on the sidewall is
106/104.  I am unsure why this is given as it is...
