WARNING Risk of accident from overloaded
tires |
Overloaded tires may overheat and burst as a
consequence. Overloaded tires can also
impair the steering and handling characteristics
and lead to brake failure.
- Observe the load-bearing capacity of
the tires.
- The load-bearing capacity must be at
least half the gross axle weight rating of
the vehicle.
- Never overload the tires by exceeding
the maximum load.
