The problem

Tire inflation pressure recommended for rear tire will not support gross axle weight rating; also, wheel rims are not stamped dot.

The risk

During heavy towing or hauling of heavy loads, inflation of rear tires would present a risk of tire failure and vehicles would not comply with fmvss 120.

The fix

Provide correct tire inflation information on a new combined certification - tire information label, and stamp wheel rims with dot.
