In my case, I am uncomfortable with the low minimum standards set by the manufacturers.. So I choose to fit tires with standards that exceed the minimums.
Of course since the manufacturer did not "certify" my choice, this act absolves the manufacturers of any responsibility for my choice.
But the afore mentioned "paper trail" also absolves them of responsibility for failures... A very good deal for the TT manufacturers.
Good point.
the only requirements from the FMVSS is for the trailer mfg to show his tire choice on a tire placard which does nor place any legal obligations for a down stream owner(s) to replace with the same.
