So your latest link is yet another company link written by lawyers to CYA. It simply does not apply.
Once again, quote the applicable LAW and I repeat the LAW that says you can't put on any tire you wish as long as it is equal to or greater than the axle capacity. All you are doing here is smoke and mirrors.
If that's all you've got is more junk like that, please don't wast people's time. I don't know about you, but they would have to pay me an awful lot to spread that kind of junk around. What is sad is that you apparently believe all that BS. Most everyone else sees through your company line.

And what you fail to recognize is the validity of government regulations. I’m a little surprised at that because you spent enough time in the military to come to terms with regulations. Maybe you just became antiestablishment after your military service. Well, thanks for that service. I also served over there on aircraft carriers. Almost all of 1965 and again from 1970 - 1973. During that time I spent some time at Bien Hoa, Da Nang, and Tan Son Hnut (Saigon) repairing combat damages on Naval & Marine Corp Aircraft. One of my most memorable experiences was to observe an USAF SSGT wearing matching pearl handle .45 Cal. Revolvers while driving a jet fuel truck right up to an unfriendly fence at Bien Hoi to service an aircraft I was working on that had over-run the runway with a couple of hung 2000 pounders.
Anyhow, back to this regulation thing. When there is a current and active regulation on the books it can only be deleted or superseded. There is such a document that sets the precedence for replacement tire selections. In the past I’ve referenced that regulation with sound disapproval from all of the naysayers. It’s still active and has been updated in 2013. Nothing changed. It’s a Code of Federal Regulations Document. NHTSA cannot write around that document. They don’t have the authority. It’s called Vehicle in use Inspection Standards and it has numerous parts. But, one is for vehicles under 10K and another is for vehicles over 10K.
