WARNING: Do not use replacement tires with lower load

carrying capacities than the original tires because they may lower

the vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a

higher limit than the original tires do not increase the GVWR and

GAWR limitations.

WARNING: Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could

result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury.

Steps for determining the correct load limit:

1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo

should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will

be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from

XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage

load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and

there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of

available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150)

= 650 lb.). In metric units (635-340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg.)

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on

the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and

luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

The following gives you a few examples on how to calculate the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity:

• Suppose your vehicle has a 1400 lb. (635 kg) cargo and luggage

capacity. You decide to go golfing. Is there enough load capacity to

carry you, 4 of your friends and all the golf bags? You and four friends

average 220 lb. (99 kg) each and the golf bags weigh approximately

30 lb. (13.5 kg) each. The calculation would be: 1400 – (5 x 220) -

(5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100 - 150 = 150 lb. Yes, you have enough load

capacity in your vehicle to transport four friends and your golf bags.

In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg - (5 x 99 kg) -

(5 x 13.5 kg) = 635 - 495 - 67.5 = 72.5 kg.
