Not sure I can link you to a CMVSS regulation... but we own a Carriage triple axle 5th wheel that meets CMVSS standards because it is legally imported and registered in Canada, and the OEM tire placard states LT tires as original equipment.
And I have replacement LT steel casing Bridgestone R250 tires on it now, installed by a large tire retailer chain who does all types of tire business except motorcycles and aircraft. They would know if this was "not legal".
As far as Canadian Tire - a retailer can set any policy they want but when they trot out the "not legal" b.s. - just advise their head office they shouldn't be giving legal advice without documents to back it up. Then move your business on.
