SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES INCLUDING SPARE TIRES
The following recommendation applies to passenger car and light truck
tires. Tires are composed of various types of material and rubber
compounds, having performance properties essential to the proper
functioning of the tire itself. These component properties evolve over
time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors such as
weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation
pressure, maintenance etc.) to which the tire is subjected throughout its
life. This service-related evolution varies widely so that accurately
predicting the serviceable life of any specific tire in advance is not
possible.
That is why, in addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure
maintenance by consumers, it is recommended to have passenger car and
light truck tires, including spare tires, inspected regularly by a qualified
tire specialist, such as a tire dealer, who will assess the tire’s suitability for
continued service. Tires which have been in use for 5 years or more
should continue to be inspected by a specialist at least annually. Con-
sumers are strongly encouraged to be aware not only of their tires’ visual
condition and inflation pressure but also of any change in dynamic
performance such as increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be
an indication that the tires need to be removed from service to prevent
tire failure. It is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based
on their calendar age alone. However the older a tire the greater the
chance that it will need to be replaced due to the service-related evolution
or other conditions found upon inspection or detected during use.
While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is
recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of
manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple
precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not
reached the legal wear limit. For tires that were on an original equipment
vehicle (i.e., acquired by the consumer on a new vehicle), follow the
vehicle manufacturer ’s tire replacement recommendations, when speci-
fied (but not to exceed 10 years).
The date when a tire was manufactured is located on the sidewall of each
tire. Consumers should locate the Department of Transportation or DOT
code on the tire which begins with DOT and ends with the week and year
of manufacture. For example, a DOT code ending with “2204” indicates
a tire made in the 22nd week (May) of 2004.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
•Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation or
over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
•Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
•Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
the sidewall of the tire.
•Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
•Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
when 2/32of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
•Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
separations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount
a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and contact your
local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
•Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum
speed justified by driving conditions.
•To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is required.
