Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Risk: Incorrect weight ratings on the tire label could cause the operator to overload the vehicle and lead to premature tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash.
