A 14-ply tire refers to a tire construction that incorporates 14 layers of material, typically made from fabric and steel, to enhance its strength and durability. The "ply" rating indicates the tire's ability to carry loads; higher ply ratings generally mean the tire can support heavier weights and withstand greater stress. It's often used in heavy-duty applications, such as for trucks or trailers, where resilience and load capacity are critical. However, it's important to note that modern tire ratings may also rely on other metrics like load index rather than just ply count.
The load capacity of a tire is indicate by the star rating (in case of radial tire) and the ply rating (in cse of bias tire).
The load range indicates the ply rating of the tire or the number of plys under the tread. A = 2 ply B = 4 ply C = 6 ply D = 8 ply E = 10 ply F = 12 ply G = 14 ply H = 16 ply J = 18 ply L = 20 ply M = 22 ply N = 24 ply This has a direct relation to the Load Index which tells you the weight the tire can carry. The more plys the more weight the tire can carry.
120 - 140lbs., depending on the specifics of the tire.
H is the load range of the tire which indicates the ply. H is a 16 ply tire.
A 'G' rating on a light truck tire means only that is a 14 ply tire. The weight capacity is dependent on the air pressure you put into the tire..
A ply.
That information is written right on the sidewall of the tire.
Radial ply tires and tubeless tires are made from rubber, fabric, and steel.
It's printed on the side of every tire.
It is the internal component of the tire, it a nut shell its the inner strength of the tire.

Yes, it does. Plies affect the flexibility of the tire as you steer.
