Now that's an interesting quote for discussion here.

Interesting how neatly they let the Rv industry off the hook there...
Even the tire industry buys in to the undersizing standard!
Imagine how much better it would be in for both tire manufacturers and consumers if the logic in that sentence were reversed:
"For double axle trailers, the TIRE CAPACITY must be INCREASED by 12%"Which is , ironically, exactly what many folks eventually do.
