TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
When a P-metric or metric tire is installed on a light truck (SUV,
pickup, minivan), the load rating is reduced by dividing by 1.1.
(This load reduction factor is prescribed by Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS) and is based on the expectation that
passenger-type tires may experience more severe loading and
usage conditions when applied to light trucks.) For example,
305/50R20 has a maximum load capacity of 3086 lbs. If this tire is
fi tted to a light truck, the actual allowable load for the tire is 2805
lbs. (3086 lbs. divided by 1.1).

WARNING
P-metric and LT-metric tires are not necessarily interchangeable.
P-metric and LT-metric tires follow completely different Load/
Infl ation tables and are designed to carry different loads at different
pressures.
LT-metric tires carry their load at higher infl ation pressures and do
not always have adequate load capacity to replace P-metric tires of
the same size.
After reducing a P-metric tire’s load rating by dividing by 1.1 for
fi tment on a Light Truck, the P-metric tire may not offer suffi cient
load capacity to replace an LT-metric tire of the same size.

determining how to choose a proper replacement size.
Driving with underinfl ated or overloaded tires may result in
immediate tire failure, which can cause an accident and could lead
to serious personal injury or death.
