WARNING
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for recreation vehicle use. The use of
passenger tires should be avoided. The load rating/range embossed on the sidewall of
passenger tires must be de-rated accordingly; they do not have the same load
capability as tires that are specifically identified for recreation vehicle use. Failure to
use tires that are properly matched to your recreation vehicle could lead to premature
tire wear or less than optimum trailer handling.
