The CertificationRire label is found on the drive~r's door lock pillar. The label
shows t'he size of your original t'ires and the inflation pressu8res ne-eded to
obtain the gross vehicle weight capac-ity of your vehicle. This
is
called the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The- GVWR includes the weight of the
vehlicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
The Certifi'cationKtre label also tells you the maximum weights for the front
and rear axles, called Gross
Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
To
find out the
actual
loads
on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh station
and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure to
spread out your load equally
on
both sides of the centerline.
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for either the front or rear axle.
And,
if
you
do
have a heavy load, you should spread
it
out.
