2019 DODGE DURANGO SRT warning

Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only. This tire may
look like the originally equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your
vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have limited tread life. When the
tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use full size
spare tire needs to be replaced. Since it is not the same as your original
equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and
reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. This tire
is identified by a label located on the limited use spare wheel. This label
contains the driving limitations for this spare. This tire may look like the
original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is
not. Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling.
Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or repair)
the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first
opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited use spares are for emergency use only. Installation of this
limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire, do not
drive more than the speed listed on the limited use spare wheel.
Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on your Tire
and Loading Information Placard located on the driver ’s side B-Pillar
or the rear edge of the driver ’s side door. Replace (or repair) the
original equipment tire at the first opportunity and reinstall it on
your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM
TIRE QUALITY GRADES
The following tire grading categories were established by the Na-
tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The specific grade
rating assigned by the tire’s manufacturer in each category is shown
on the sidewall of the tires on your vehicle.
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal safety require-
ments in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The Treadwear grade is a comparative rating, based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear
one and one-half times as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction Grades
The Traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
These grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement, as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, corner-
ing, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADES23

Temperature Grades
The Temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat, when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-
mance, which all passenger vehicle tires must meet under the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel, than the
minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-
inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combina-
tion, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

BFGOODRICH TIRES
ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a BFGoodrich brand passenger or light truck
tire, you are covered by all the benefits and conditions (subject to the
maintenance recommendations and safety warnings) contained in this
booklet. To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the terms
and conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully. It is essential that
you also read and understand the safety and maintenance recommenda-
tions for tires contained in this booklet.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
BFGoodrich brand passenger and light truck tires, used in normal service
on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted and in accordance
with the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained
in the attached owner ’s manual, are covered by this warranty against
defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable
tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase, whichever occurs first. At that
time, all warranties, express or implied, expire. The life of the original
usable tread is the original tread down to the level of the tread wear
indicators - 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Date of
purchase is documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice.
If no proof of purchase is available, coverage will be based on the date of
manufacture. Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms
and conditions described under “How Replacement Charges are Calcu-
lated”. Note: your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional tire
warranty coverage over and above what is provided by BFGoodrich.
Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual for further information.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires Which Become Unserviceable Due To:
•Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or
puncture);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper
repair;
BFGOODRICH TIRES
27

•Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, overin-
flation or other abuse;
• Operation without a properly functioning low pressure warning
system, for Comp T/A® ZR SSS tires;
• Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in
the vehicle such as wheel misalignment, (a measured tread difference
of 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire);
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism;
• Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake lock;
• The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen
or carbon dioxide (for example, waterbase sealers or balancing
substances);
• Ozone or weather checking.
HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger And Light Truck Tires Workmanship/Materials
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new BFGoodrich brand tire, free of charge, when 2/32 nds of
an inch (1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less,
whichever is more beneficial to you) and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. The cost of mounting and balancing the tire is included. Yo u
pay the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes.
When more than 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of the original tread has
been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to you) or
after 12 months from the date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a
comparable new BFGoodrich brand passenger or light truck replacement
tire on a pro rated basis. The retailer shall determine the charge by
multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn by the
current selling price at the adjustment location or the price on the current
BFGoodrich brand Base Price List, whichever is lower. This list is based
on a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the actual selling
price of the tire.
You pay the cost of mounting, balancing, and or any other service
charges and applicable taxes.

WARNING!
DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND/OR INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY
RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
TIRE DISABLEMENT SAFETY WARNING
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, impact
damage, improper inflation, overloading or other conditions resulting
from use or misuse. Tire failures, such as a rapid air loss or a tread and
belt detachment, may increase risk of injury or death and/or property
damage. To reduce the risk of a tire failure, BFGoodrich recommends you
thoroughly read and follow the recommendations in this BFGoodrich
Limited Warranty/Owner ’s Manual, the vehicle owner ’s manual, tire
placard information, and tire sidewall information regarding safety
warnings, proper tire use and maintenance.
CONTROLLABILITY
CONTROLLING A VEHICLE WHEN A TIRE FAILURE OCCURS
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, and/or
the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire. If possible, step on
the accelerator momentarily to maintain forward momentum and ensure
vehicle control.
It is important that you DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE
STEERING WHEEL.
Slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the steering wheel
firmly while steering to remain in your lane. Once the vehicle has slowed
and is fully under control, apply the brakes gently; safely pull over to the
shoulder and come to a stop. Inspect the tires. If one or more tires look
flat or low, show detachment or other damage, remove tire assembly and
replace it with a properly inflated spare. Bumps or bulges may indicate
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified tire
technician.
