Tire Information (U.S.A.)
   GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)  is the maximum allowable weight of the fully 
loaded vehicle (including all options, equipment, passengers and cargo).  The GVWR is 
shown on the Safety Compliance Certifi  cation Label located on the driver's door frame 
or door pillar. The GVW must never exceed the GVWR.  
  
   SAMPLE 
  
 
 
  WARNING 
  Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits:  Exceeding the Safety Certifi  cation Label axle weight rating limits is dangerous and could 
result in death or serious injury as a result of substandard vehicle handling, performance, 
engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, or loss of 
control.
  Always keep the vehicle within the axle weight rating limits.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Tire Information (U.S.A.)
   GCW (Gross Combination Weight)  is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus the 
weight of the fully loaded trailer.
  
   GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating)  is the maximum allowable weight of the 
vehicle and the loaded trailer - including all cargo and passengers - that the vehicle can 
handle without risking damage. (Important: The towing vehicle's braking system is rated 
for operation at GVWR, not at GCWR. Separate functional brakes should be\
 used for safe 
control of towed vehicles and for trailers weighing more than 1,500 lbs)\
.  The GCW must 
never exceed the GCWR.  
  
   Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight   is the highest possible weight of a fully loaded trailer 
the vehicle can tow. It assumes a vehicle with only mandatory options, no cargo (internal 
or external), a tongue load of 10-15% (conventional trailer) or king \
pin weight of 15-25% 
(fi  fth-wheel trailer), and driver only (150 lbs).   Consult your dealership (or the RV and 
Trailer Towing Guide provided by your dealership) for more detailed information.  
   Tongue Load or Fifth-Wheel King Pin Weight   refers to the amount of the weight that a 
trailer pushes down on a trailer hitch.
  
   Examples:  For a 5000 lb conventional trailer, multiply 5000 by 0.10 and 0.15 to obtain a 
proper tongue load range of 500 to 750 lbs. For an 11,500 lb  fi fth-wheel trailer, multiply by 
0.15 and 0.25 to obtain a proper king pin load range of 1,725 to 2,875 l\
bs.
  WARNING 
  Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR Specifi  cations:
  Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specifi  ed on the certifi  cation label is dangerous. 
Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result in a serious accident, injury, or 
damage to the vehicle.
  Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the originals 
because they may lower the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires 
with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.
  Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specifi  ed on the certifi  cation label.
