Tyre load rating

[onlybayinthevillage]

Had a big blow out on the rear tyre this weekend.
Tyre rating is 90S but some tyres seem to have 99T on them.
However, i think the R14C is the key. Is the C a correct load rating?
Is this enough for a T2 camper?
Any advice would be appreciated before i buy a new one.

Thanks mate. Solves the letter at the end issue.
Still not sure what load rating a camper needs though. Current tyre at 90 looks a little low.

seem most old Buses at sometime ,someone has slapped on some 'P' rated Passenger car tires :shock: (2ply side wall)
the 'C' rated is Commercial (8ply) for our 3000+ lbs heavy ass Buses
