The reason there is so much emphasis placed on identifying the tires and rims on a RV trailer before it’s sold is to protect the first buyer/owner and all subsequent owners. It sets the bar with the Original Equipment tires. That bar is the minimum requirement for all replacement tires to follow. Equal or greater in size and load capacity. Pretty simple to be so misunderstood.
The information found on the trailer’s certification label is the minimum standard set by the vehicle manufacturer via the vehicle certification process. Anyone that thinks I’m passing this information in error should write and ask NHTSA for clarification.

We have been round this Mayberry bush many time on suggestions verses regs. The poster above post a reg about GAWR. You have never post posted a law, reg or such regarding about equal or greater than OEM tires. Chris
You are always saying how you write places for information. Write NHTSA. I've read all the regs, Have you?

Save us all the time and post a reg, not a suggestion from the NHSTA! Or marketing BS from the ST tire industry! PLEASE! Chris
