The tyre rating shouldn't be a problem. The PZeros per tyre weight ratings exceed both the axle ratings and the GVM rating when added up as per the PDF posted by unhinged.

If y'all want to be lugging hog feed around, you'll need to downgrade to 16" wheels and higher profile tires!

Yes, this. I also note that the chart Unhingd linked shows the cargo compartment weight max at 31 lbs.

Yes, however, the powers that be clearly use a formula to determine payload based on - well who knows what - that arrives at a figure for the vehicle and tires as a whole. No doubt there is a good margin for safety built in.

So, two sets of clubs is false advertising.

Ok, 498 lbs in each seat and 31 lbs. in the boot.

The manual says you can exceed the 31 lbs in the trunk, as long as you observe the other limits.

Which begs the question what the point of the spec is.

Based on all this, I'd guess that someone confused lbs and kg's when making some of the door stickers!
