RV Tires
1. From the tire manufacturer’s load and inflation tables or the sidewall of the tires mounted on the vehicle.
2. If vehicle has duals, read dual capacity from tire and multiply by 2 to obtain dual assembly load capacity.

TO OBTAIN INDIVIDUAL WHEEL POSITION WEIGHTS
The RV must remain as level as possible on the scale (even when an axle or side isn’t on the scale). Therefore, to
obtain side-to-side weights, there must be enough space on either side of the scale to accommodate the RV being
partially off the scale.
If there is a difference in the weights on one side of the vehicle as compared to the other, it is important to
redistribute the load more evenly to avoid component failure and improve handling. These weights make it possible
to compare against the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating), GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), and tire capacities.
They also help determine proper tire pressure.
