The hazard
Certain tires do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 119. The sidewall markings incorrectly state: Max Load Single 2680 lbs at 75 psi cold, Max Load Dual 2550 lbs at 75 psi cold. Instead, the tires should have been marked: Max Load Single 2680 lbs at 80 psi cold, Max Load Dual 2405 lbs at 80 psi cold. Correction: This non-compliance will have an inconsequential impact on motor vehicle safety, because the 75 psi inflation pressure will accommodate the described single and dual loads with no risk to safe operation. Since this does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.
