The letters “ST’ refer as “service trailer” meaning they are for RV
TRAILERS, manufactured for that purpose. These tires should not be
used for automotive use.
NOTE; Each original tire installed on KZ –RV recreational vehicles have a
speed rating of 75 mph, or greater. Please note maximum load rating, tire
pressure, and speed rating as imprinted on the sidewall of tire.
Effective in 2017 model year, your tires will have NITROGEN in them
instead of air. Green caps on the valve stems indicate contents as
nitrogen. Air may be used if nitrogen is not available.
Vehicle Load Limits
Determining the load limits of a vehicle includes more than understanding
the load limits of the tires alone.
On a trailer, there is a Federal certification label that is located on the
forward half of the left (road) side of the unit, called ‘VIN’, which is the
vehicle identification number.
The certification label will indicate the vehicle’s gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR). This is the most weight the fully loaded vehicle can weigh. It
will also provide the gross axle weight rating (GAWR). This is the most
weight a particular axle can carry. If there are multiple axles, the GAWR
of each axle will be provided.
In the same location as the certification label described previous, there is
a vehicle placard. This placard provides tire and loading information. In
addition, this placard will show a statement regarding maximum cargo
capacity.
Cargo Capacities
Cargo can be added to the vehicle, up to the maximum weight specified
on the placard. The combined weight of the cargo is provided as a single
number. In any case, remember: the total weight of a fully loaded vehicle
can not exceed the stated GVWR.
Water and propane also need to be considered. The weight of fully filled
propane containers is considered part of the weight of the RV before it is
loaded with cargo and is not considered part of the disposable cargo load.
Water however, is a cargo weight and is treated as such. If there is a
