Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any
vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop.
Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al-
so damage important parts of the
vehicle
and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout
and
sudden deflation
that can
cause
the vehicle to
crash.
Your safety and that of your pas-
sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex-
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev-
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi-

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

The "GVWR" includes the weight
of the basic
vehicle,
all factory
in-
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids
plus maximum load. The maxi-
mum load includes the number of
