Dear Mr. Sundelin: #This is in reply to your letter of May 28, 1973 asking whether you may, consistently with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109, label maximum load and maximum permissible inflation pressure as follows, using the 165 SR 15 tire size designation as an example: #>>>1. Max Load 1200 Lbs. At 36 psi #2. Max Load 1200 Lbs. At Max Press 36 psi<<< #We do not believe alternative 1 to be consistent with Standard No. 109 because it is not clear that 36 psi is the maximum permissible inflation pressure. Alternative 2 does so indicate, however, and we believe that alternative to be consistent with the standard. #Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel;
