The total weight now exceeds the capacity weight by 55 lbs (25 kg), so the cargo weight must be reduced by 55 lbs (25 kg) or more. Example 2A Total weight = 154 - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca | Owner's Manual - Page 387
by 105 lbs (48 kg), so the cargo weight must be reduced by 105 lbs (48 kg) or more. Determining compatibility of tire and vehicle load capacities The sum of four tires' maximum load ratings must exceed the maximum loaded vehicle weight ("GVWR"). In addition, sum of the maximum load ratings of two - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca | Owner's Manual - Page 388
