Tire Size
The tire size on the Vehicle Certification Label represents

the actual tire size on your vehicle. Replacement tires

must be equal to the load capacity of this tire size.
Rim Size
This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire size

listed.
Inflation Pressure
This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle for

all loading conditions up to full GAWR.
Curb Weight
The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight

of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full

capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo

loaded into the vehicle. The front and rear curb weight

values are determined by weighing your vehicle on a

commercial scale before any occupants or cargo are

added.
Overloading
The load carrying components (axle, springs, tires,

wheels, etc.) of your vehicle will provide satisfactory

service as long as you do not exceed the GVWR and the

front and rear GAWR.
The best way to figure out the total weight of your

vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and ready for

operation. Weigh it on a commercial scale to ensure that

it is not over the GVWR.
Figure out the weight on the front and rear of the vehicle

separately. It is important that you distribute the load

evenly over the front and rear axles.
