Correct tire pressure is very important. Proper inflation pressures may be
found in the vehicle owner ’s manual or on the vehicle tire information
placard. Check cold tire pressures at least once each month. For further
technical information on BFGoodrich® tires, consult a participating
BFGoodrich® tire retailer.

Maximum Pressure Indicated on the Tire Sidewall:This is the maxi-
mum permissible inflation pressure for the tire only. The vehicle manu-
facturer ’s recommended tire pressures may be lower than, or the same as,
the maximum pressure indicated on the tire sidewall. The vehicle
manufacturer ’s specification of tire pressure is limited to your particular
vehicle and takes into account your vehicle’s load, ride, and handling
characteristics, among other criteria. Since there may be several possible
vehicle applications for a given tire size, a vehicle manufacturer may
choose a different inflation pressure specification for that same size tire
on a different vehicle. Therefore, always refer to the inflation pressure
specifications on the vehicle tire information placard and/or in your
vehicle owner ’s manual.
Different Tire Pressures for the Front and Rear Tires:For some vehicles,
the recommended front and rear inflation pressures may be different
(such as in the example shown in Figure 2). Make sure you take this into
account during inflation pressure checks and when rotating tires.
Pressure Loss: Tires can lose 1 psi (7 kPa) per month under normal
conditions and can lose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 10° F (5.6° C) temperature
drop. A puncture, leaking valve, or other damage could also cause
inflation pressure loss. If a tire loses more than 2 psi (14 kPa) per month,
have it checked by a qualified tire service professional.

Use the following chart to compare the speed ratings of tires.

The tire’s speed rating designation appears on the tire sidewall with the
tire size. Examples:
P275/40ZR17 max > 149 mph (240 km/h)****
P275/40R17 93W max = 168 mph (270 km/h)
P275/40ZR17 93W max = 168 mph (270 km/h)
P275/40ZR17 93Y max = 186 mph (300 km/h)
P275/40ZR17 93(Y) max > 186 mph (300 km/h) ****
* In standardized laboratory tests that relate to highway speeds. Actual
tire speed and performance capability depend on factors such as inflation
pressure, load, tire condition, wear, and driving conditions.
** Any tire having a maximum speed capability above 149 mph
(240 km/h) may, at the tire manufacturer ’s discretion, include a “Z” in
the size designation (i.e. P275/40ZR17).
*** For tires having a maximum speed capability above 186 mph
(300 km/h), a “Z” must appear in the size designation and a “Y” marked
in brackets (as shown) in the service description.
**** Consult the tire manufacturer for maximum speed capability.

If your spare is the same size, load rating, and type of tire as your road
tires, it should be included in the tire rotation process. For vehicles with
a “full-size” spare, the following rotation patterns may be used:
NOTE:
•Never include a “temporary use” spare tire in the rotation.
• Tires with directional tread patterns must be rotated so the direction of
revolution does not change; this may require demounting/mounting
the tires.
• Special attention should be given if your vehicle is equipped with a
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Rotation of your tires may
affect the system; consult your vehicle owner ’s manual or a qualified
tire service professional.
• Some vehicles may have different size tires/wheels on front and rear
which would restrict rotation. Always check and follow the vehicle
manufacturer ’s rotation recommendation.
• To use a full-size spare in the rotation pattern on vehicles with dual
rear wheels, consult your vehicle owner ’s manual for the recom-
mended procedures or consult the vehicle manufacturer.

YOUR SPARE TIRE
Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual for proper application of your
spare tire. Your car may be equipped with a “temporary use” spare tire;
this spare may differ in size and construction from the other tires on your
vehicle.
WARNING!
Check inflation pressure before use. Failure to have proper inflation
pressure when using your spare tire can result in serious personal
injury or death. See Tire Inflation Pressure in this manual.
WARNING!
Mounting a “temporary use” tire on a wheel which is not
specifically designed for it, or placing another type tire on a wheel
designated for temporary use can be dangerous. Your vehicle’s
handling characteristics can be seriously affected. You could have an
accident resulting in serious personal injury or death. Consult your
vehicle owner ’s manual for proper application of your “temporary
use” spare tire.
The spare tire in your vehicle is intended to be used as a spare when
needed. The spare tire carrier is not intended to be used for long term
storage, except for “temporary use” tires. If your spare is the same size,
load rating, and type of tire as your road tires, it should be included in the
tire rotation process; see “Radial Tire Rotation” in this manual for more
information.
The spare should be included in regular tire inspections and inflation
pressure checks. In addition, it should be replaced 10 years after date of
manufacture, regardless of condition or tread depth. For more informa-
tion, see the “Tire Damage, Inspection and Service Life” in this manual.
TIRE STORAGE
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool, dry place where water cannot
collect inside them. Tires should be placed away from electric
generators/motors and sources of heat such as hot pipes. Storage
surfaces should be clean and free of grease, gasoline or other substances
which can deteriorate the rubber.

SPECIAL SERVICE AND REPAIR ISSUES
Run-Flat Certified Retailers
Because of the advanced technology and design of RFT tires and the
required tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), Bridgestone Firestone
Run-Flat Certified Retailers are specially trained to sell and service RFT
tires.
Run-Flat Certified Retailers have the necessary equipment and are
specially trained to properly mount and demount RFT tires and to handle
TPMS devices.Conventional mounting equipment may irreparably
damage RFT tires and an improper repair is unsafe and will void the
Limited Warranty. Accordingly, it is important to go to a Bridgestone
Firestone Run-Flat Certified Retailer for tire maintenance and replace-
ment.
Call toll-free 1-877-BFS-4RFT or, 877-237-4738 or visit
www.bridgestonetire.comto locate the nearest Bridgestone Firestone
Run-Flat Certified Retailer.
Inspection after Run-Flat or Low Pressure Operation
Following run-flat or low tire pressure operation, or in the event of any
other tire damage or unusual condition, it is very important to obtain a
proper and complete tire evaluation as soon as possible.
Rotation
Follow the vehicle manufacturer ’s recommendations, or rotate every
5,000 miles per the recommendations in this manual (see “Radial Tire
Rotation”). In some cases, TPMS devices require reprogramming with
each tire rotation.
RFT Tire Replacement
Do not replace or mix RFT tires with conventional tires, unless on an
emergency/temporary basis. Conventional tires do not have run-flat
capability and the handling characteristics of the vehicle with these tires
may be different. If a conventional tire is used on an emergency/
temporary basis, verify that its size, load capacity, inflation pressure, and
speed rating specifications meet the requirements of the vehicle. Replace
any conventional tire with the proper RFT tire as soon as possible.

REFERENCE INFORMATION
TIRE SIDEWALL LABELING
A lot can be learned by reading the tire’s sidewall. The following figures
show typical information on the sidewall of passenger (Figure 3) and
light truck tires (Figure 4):

DOT Symbol and Tire Identification Number:The “DOT” symbol
constitutes a certification that the tire conforms to applicable U.S.
Department of Transportation motor vehicle safety standards (for tires).
Following the “DOT” symbol is the tire identification number, also
known as the DOT serial number or code. For example:
(a) DOT Symbol (d) Tire Manufacturer ’s Code
(b) Manufacture Plant Code (e) Week of Production (01-52)
(c) Tire Size Code (f) Year of Production (last two digits
of year)

tires
produced
from
2000-on.
In
the
example
above,
the
tire
was
produced
in
the
18th
week
of
2000.
For
tires
produced
prior

there
is
one
digit
in
group
(f)
which
identifies
the
last
digit
of
the
year
of
production,
i.e.
“329”
would
likely
signify
the
32nd
week
of
1999,
but
could
possibly
signify
the
32nd
week
of
1989.
If
in
doubt,
consult
a

service
professional.
The

can
be
found
on
at

may
have
a
partial

code
that
excludes

Maximum
Load
and
Inflation:
The
maximum
