BFGOODRICHTIRES
Anytime
you
see
any
damage
to
your
tires
or
wheels,
replace
with
the

spare
at
once
and
immediately
visit
any
BFGoodrich®
tire
retailer.
IMPACT DAMAGE
A
tire
impacted
by
a
road
hazard
(curb,
pothole,
debris)
may
be
damaged

but
not
have
visible
signs
of
damage
on
its
surface.
A
tire
damaged
by
an

impact
may
sustain
a
sudden
failure
a
day,
week,
or
even
months
later.

Yo u
may
not
recall
hitting
an
object
that
damaged
or
injured
your
tires.

Air


loss,
unusual
tire
wear,
localized
wear
or
vibrations
can
also
be
signs

of
internal
tire
damage.
If
you
suspect
any
damage
to
your
tire
or
wheel
from
an
impact
with
a

curb,
pothole,
debris
on
the
road
or
any
other
road
hazard,
or
if
you
feel

or
hear
any
unusual
vibration,
replace
with
a
properly
inflated
spare
at

once
and
immediately
visit
any
qualified
tire
technician.
INSPECTION
When
inspecting
your
tires,
including
the
spar

e,
check
the
air
pressures.

If
the
pressure
check
indicates
that
one
of
your
tires
has
lost
pressure
of

two
pounds
or
more,
look
for
signs
of
penetration,
valve
leakage
or
wheel

damage
that
may
account
for
the
air
loss.
Always
look
for
bulges,
cracks,
cuts,
penetrations
and
abnormal
tire

wear,
particularly
on
the


edges
of
the
tire
tread,
which
may
be
caused

by
misalignment
or
underinflation.

etc.
WEARBARS
BFGoodrich®
tires
contain
“Wear
Bars”
in
the
grooves
of
the
tire
tread

which
show
up
when
only
2/32
nds
of
an
inch
(1.6
mm)
of
tread
is

remaining.
At
this
stage,
your
tires
must
be
replaced.
Ti re s
worn
beyond

this
stage
are
extremely
dangerous.
DO
NOT
OVERLOAD
-
DRIVING

ANY
OVERLOADED
TIRE
IS

DANGEROUS
36

The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall. Do
not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions of the manufac-
turer of your vehicle and this will ensure that your tires are not
overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable
loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may
result in sudden tire destruction.
Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for any axle on your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit any BFGoodrich® tire
retailer for advice concerning the correct size tire and pressures. Tire size
and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or tire
load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and the owner ’s manual
supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further recommenda-
tions on trailer towing.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR
SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES CHECK
HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE EACH
MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These
conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the
handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If
you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance
checked immediately. Tires which have been run underinflated will show
more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread.
TIRE MIXING
BFGoodrich® tires are radial tires and for best performance it is recom-
mended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel
positions. Before mixing tires of different types in any configuration on
any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle manufacturer ’s Owner‘s Manual
for its recommendations.
It is especially important to check the vehicle manufacturer ’s owner ’s
manual when mixing, matching or replacing tires on 4-wheel drive
vehicles, as this may require special precautions.

ROTATION AND WEAR
Falken recommends rotating your tires at least every 8,000 km (5,000
miles) and periodically inspecting your tires to make sure they are free of
road hazards (such as nails, screws, large wood splinters, etc.) that might
penetrate your tires causing them to lose air pressure and to ensure they
are wearing evenly. Common irregular wear patterns are: misalignment
wear, where the tire shows excessive outer or inner tread wear. Tire
sidewalls should also be inspected for cuts, snags, bruises, and weather
cracking. If any of these noted conditions are present during inspection,
we recommend returning to your servicing tire dealer to be corrected to
ensure long tire life.***Never include a temporary spare tire in your
rotation pattern***
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Falken recommends replacing your tires when the tread wears down to
the wear bars at 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch), which are located across the
tread in several locations around the tire. If only two tires are being
replaced, the two new tires should always be installed on the rear of the
vehicle to aid in preventing your vehicle from hydroplaning, even if your
car is front wheel drive. It’s always recommended to have your new tires
balanced during installation, and alignment checked if the previous tires
show and irregular wear. Tires that have been in use for 5 (five) years or
more should continue to be inspected by a qualified tire specialist, at least
annually. It is recommended that any tires 10 (ten) years old or older from
the date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires
as a precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have
not reached the legal worn out limit at 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch).
