The TUV numbers apply to a specific wheel used on a specific vehicle using a specific tire. This is the reason you don't often see the weight rating, as there is no need for it. The Audi wheels for example are TUV approved for a specific car using a specific tire. In the TUV certificates, the same wheel can have a wide weight load range depending on the vehicle and tire selected. In Germany you must have TUV approval to use the wheels and tires on your car or van. Steve Lashley SKL Enterprises Inc. http://EuroCampers.com 636-797-9015 636-789-2127 fax |
