Are you implying that putting tires with a higher load capacity on a trailer is somehow a defect? Tire manufacturers and even the NHTSA says you can go up in load capacity -- you just don't go down.
Nope. I’m saying your tire placard needs to reflect the actual tire size you changed to and it’s new recommended tire pressure and load capacity. Then I provided a few references that supports my stance and depicts an example of an auxiliary placard.
The CA document points to the fact that the information on the original tire placard is in fact a federal law.
The buyer beware statement is for the next owner of your RV trailer. Hypothetically it could be sold at an estate sale.
