You might see bike tire load limits in catalogs. The Schwalbe catalog has load limits.
http://www.everybicycletire.com/shop...-115-load.aspx
I assume that load mean the amount of weight on a particular tire, which would be the rider, bike and gear, but only the part of the weight which is born by the tire. The rear tire would be carrying more weight than the front.
But, like others I question that the load limit is what is causing Swan's flat issue.

I haven't updated in forever! So here's the lowdown: I moved to North Carolina, got a job waitressing, and I took my bike apart to clean it but haven't figured out how to put it back together again (sighs, of course).
But the most important part: I am no longer "morbidly obese". I'm not even obese at all! I went to the doctor here and asked that they NOT tell me my weight at any time. But I WAS told "You're borderline obese..."
I guess they thought they were delivering bad news, but I was elated!! Now that it's warmed up a bit, I'm going to hopefully find a YouTube video that can help me put my bike back together. Goodness knows I don't have the money for a new one this soon after moving...

Congratulations! Remember that because you ride, you have more muscle then the average person. It's possible that if you were properly tested you're not obese at all. The charts are only height and weight, they don't take muscle mass into account. That's great news!
