cation number (VIN), gross vehicle weight rating

The tire and rim portion of the component information
label certifies suitable tire and rim combinations that
can be installed on the vehicle for the given gross
axle weight rating. Tires and rims installed on the
vehicle at the time of manufacture may have a higher
load capacity than that certified by the tire and rim
label. If the tires and rims currently on the vehicle
have a lower load capacity than that shown on the
1.1
tire and rim label, then the tires and rims determine
the load limitations on each of the axles.
Incomplete vehicles intended for service in the U.S.
have an incomplete vehicle certification label at-
tached by the final-stage manufacturer. This label will
be attached to the incomplete vehicle document in-
cluded with the vehicle, and certifies that the vehicle
conforms to all applicable FMVSS regulations in ef-
fect on the date of completion.
