Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects

Tire Information (U.S.A.)

Base Curb Weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all 

standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight

 is the weight of your new vehicle when you picked it up from your 

dealer plus any aftermarket equipment.

PAYLOAD

Payload

 is the combination weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle is designed 

to carry. The maximum payload for your vehicle can be found on the Tire and Load 

Information label on the driver's door frame or door pillar. Look for “THE COMBINATION 

WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX kg or 

XXX lbs” for your maximum payload. The payload listed on the tire label is the maximum 

payload for the vehicle as built by the assembly plant. If any aftermarket or dealer installed 

equipment has been installed on the vehicle, the weight of the equipment must be subtracted 

from the payload listed on the tire label in order to be accurate.
