Just trying to keep it simple. I could have gone directly to the particular FMVSS standard and quoted the minimum standard. Once that is done it opens the door to more explanations.
I've already given the standard for minimum tire load capacity for RV trailers above. FMVSS instructs the vehicle manufacturer in how they must provide the appropriate tires for each fitment. This is an excerpt from FMVSS 571.120 paragraph S5.3.1 Tires. The
size designation and the recommended cold inflation pressure for those tires such that the sum of the load ratings of the tires on each axle is appropriate for the
GAWR.
The above information is going to be displayed on the vehicle certification label. The entire tire manufacturing/vehicle manufacturing industries accept that final certified fitment to be the minimum load capacity standard for that vehicle.
