Subaru Outback (BR): Determining compatibility of tire and vehicle load capacities
The sum of four tires’ maximum load ratings must exceed the maximum loaded vehicle
weight (“GVWR”). In addition, sum of the maximum load ratings of two front tires
and of two rear tires must exceed each axle’s maximum loaded capacity (“GAWR”).
Original equipment tires are designed to fulfill those conditions.
The maximum loaded vehicle weight is referred to Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR). And each axle’s maximum loaded capacity is referred to Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). The GVWR and each axle’s GAWR are shown on the vehicle certification
label affixed to the driver’s door.
The GVWR and front and rear GAWRs are determined by not only the maximum load
rating of tires but also loaded capacities of the vehicle’s suspension, axles and
other parts of the body.
Therefore, this means that the vehicle cannot necessarily be loaded up to the
tire’s maximum load rating on the tire sidewall.
