The number is the load rating. Common car tyres range from about 87 (small car, light load) to 97 (larger car, heavier load) but can go from 71 (345kg) - 110 (1060kg).

The letter is the speed index. Y is currently the highest available, tested up to 300km/h. More common indices are H (210km/h) & V (240 km/h).
