600 pounds v the sum of the tire widths, in inches, of the
wheels of the axle or tandem axles = maximum allowable weight.

determined by measuring the cross section of the tread of a
wheel, the outer face of a track or the runner of a sled except

determined by measuring the cross section between the flanges of
the circumference of a wheel at the base of the tire as

the diameter of the cross section of the tire as customarily
