(11) Suppliers shall provide axle weights for the vehicle as delivered, and at full rated payload.
(12) Odometers shall be provided as standard equipment or as an option and shall have an accuracy of at least ± 5%.
(13) The Supplier shall offer a standard or an optional tire conforming to the following requirements:
• Tires provided shall correspond to the requirements of the placard installed in accordance with 49 CFR 571.109, and 110, as applicable.
• Suppliers shall specify manufacturer, model and size of the standard tire for the vehicle and for the tire provided.
• Tire size and inflation pressure for the tire provided shall be in accordance with the requirements of the placard.
• At no time shall the tire’s inflation pressure exceed the maximum pressure molded into that tire’s sidewall.
• The tire provided shall be operable across the entire operation/load range of that vehicle.
• Replacements for the tire provided shall be commercially available to the end user in sufficient quantities to support the purchaser’s needs.
• Tires provided as original equipment by the Supplier shall not have warranty restrictions in excess of those of the tire’s manufacturer, unless the Supplier provides the warranty for the
tires.
(14) Seating capacity shall be a minimum of 1 driver. Suppliers shall specify seating capacity (available seat belt positions) for their vehicle. If a conversion vehicle’s seating capacity is
changed from that specified by the OEM on their FMVSS placard, the seat(s) being added or abandoned shall be modified as required by 49 CFR 571.207, et al, and a new FMVSS
placard installed as required by 49 CFR 567, 568 or 571, as applicable.
