Yet GAWR, GVWR, tire size, even tire brand - all identical between the 2 years. (in the case of my example, Firestone Transforce AT LT285/60R20).
Obviously nothing changed about the tire load chart, but the vehicle manufacturer made the change to the label.
I merely noted it.

The FMVSS standards says the vehicle manufacturer must provide tires that are appropriate for the vehicle they are fitted to. Appropriate meaning the tires must have a load capacity that supports the load of the axle they are fitted to via recommended cold inflation pressures. Does 3085# of load capacity for each tire (6170# total) support your vehicle certified rear axle? Are they LRD or LRE? 3085# is the maximum load capacity the LRD can provide at 65 PSI.
