Tire Information (U.S.A.)

GCW (Gross Combination Weight)

  is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW).

GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating)

  is the maximum allowable weight of the 

vehicle - including all cargo and passengers - that the vehicle can handle without risking 
damage.

The GCW must never exceed the GCWR.

WARNING

  Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR Specifi cations:

  Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specifi ed on the certifi cation label is dangerous. 
Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result in a serious accident, injury, or 
damage to the vehicle.
  Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the originals 
because they may lower the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires 
with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.
  Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specifi ed on the certifi cation label.
