Determining compatibility of tire and vehicle load capacities
The sum of four tires' maximum
load ratings must exceed the maximum
loaded vehicle weight
("GVWR"). In addition, sum of the
maximum load ratings of two front
tires and of two rear tires must
exceed each axle's maximum
loaded capacity ("GAWR"). Original
equipment tires are designed to
fulfil ...
