Warning!
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the plac-

result in handling or steering problems, or
brake failure.

Certification label (Example B) listing the
permissible gross vehicle weight (GVWR)
and gross axle weight (GAWR) for the front
and rear axle. Depending on production
date, some vehicles may also be equipped
with a Tire and Loading Information plac-
