This is what I found on bob is the oil guy forum, I am quoting a member here but interesting answer

Some tire manufactures offer the same tire model in a Standard Load and an XL version. The XL version might have a 2 ply sidewall while the Standard Load version may have a 1 ply sidewall. You might get a better ride with the 1 ply sidewall while the 2 ply version could provide better steering response.
