should say on the side of the tire
Are they C D or E rated?
Its no biggie, I have just found that 10 ply MT's last WAY LONGER on our heavy SUV's then 8
and 10 plys come from the factory on many 4000-5000# SUV these days so when people tell me 10 ply rides too rough I tell them WRONG
Also 10 ply is just a term, it does not in fact actually mean 10 layers of material anymore....that was way back when tires were made. Now days its more like 3-5 layers of actual material, but the 4, 6, 8 and 10 ply ratings are just that....ratings.
They are C rated. All the 15" wheel sizes are, once you go up to a 16 or larger they are D or E rated:

(that will try to print, just cancel the print, and you can see the specs for the sizes).
For my Cherokee a C rated is fine, super light weight vehicle and light duty work.
