Notice right under the name of the tire it gives a better description and it that line it specifies "SL" for standard load. Then here's this - read the first paragraph:

Passenger Tires
Since most P-metric passenger tires are manufactured in the standard load range, they will have nothing branded on their sidewalls or may be branded standard load and identified by an SL in their descriptions, as in P235/75R-15 SL.

Extra load P-metric tires will be branded extra load, and identified by an XL in their descriptions, as in P235/75R-15 XL.

Light load P-metric tires will be branded light load, and identified by an LL in their descriptions, as in P285/35R-19 LL.


And here's the rest. Note that LT tires do not use SL/XL etc., they use letters - mine are E;

to be honest I stopped reading after I saw "LT", but I agree that those tires are too "big" and with a low profile, must give a pretty harsh ride.
