Well it depends on whose definition you use I suppose. EPA defines 8500 or less as Light, 8501-10000 as Light-Heavy.
But apparently a Class 8 is considered a Medium by some definitions as the tires they take are classified as Medium Truck Tires.
You’re confusing emissions classifications with DOT or specifically FHWA vehicle classifications.
Regardless, not worth arguing over. However the commonly referred to vehicle classes of light, medium, heavy are based on FHWA classifications as long as I can remember.
