including mounting and balancing (excluding on line orders). Owner
pays all applicable taxes.
Temporary Spare
If a TS Tire becomes unserviceable from a condition other than those

down to the tread wear indicators (2/32nd of an inch or 1.6 mm of

ContiSeal™Tire Owners
A ContiSeal™ tire differs from a non-ContiSeal™ tire in that it has a
sticky, viscous layer from shoulder to shoulder along the inner liner.
This layer is an integral part of the ContiSeal™ tires. It is not des\
igned
or intended to act as a permanent puncture repair (See information
below). If an object up to 3/16ths (5 mm) diameter penetrates the
tread of the ContiSeal™ tire, this sticky, viscous layer is designed to
surround and adhere to the puncturing object and prevent air loss from
the tire by providing a near instantaneous seal. If the puncturing object
becomes dislodged from the tire, the material is designed to seal most
holes made by objects up to 3/16” (5 mm) diameter. While ContiSeal™
tires significantly reduce the incidence of flats, they are not designed
to be driven under inflated or in a flat condition. In all other aspects,
ContiSeal™ tires perform exactly like non-ContiSeal™ tires. As with
any tire, regularly inspect ContiSeal™ tires for evidence of cuts,
punctures, and loss of inflation pressure. At a minimum, ContiSeal™
tires should be inspected once or twice a month and always before
a long trip. Punctures or damage not attended to promptly can result
in loss of inflation pressure and/or damage to the tire. ContiSeal™
as soon as possible. The trained specialist, must inspect the tire
carefully and, according to industry standards, to determine whether
a permanent repair can be made or whether the tire must be removed
from service and scrapped. A permanent repair will require removal
of the tire from the rim and application of a repair method specifically
approved for the ContiSeal™ tires. ContiSeal™ tires are identified by a
symbol on the tire sidewall.

ContiSilent™Tire Owners
ContiSilent™ tires are designed to reduce noise generated while
driving. A ContiSilent™ tire is lined with a noise reducing foam insert.
It is not designed or intended to act as a puncture repair.
USING ContiSilent™ Tires
In aspects such as mounting, demounting, inflating, and balancing,
ContiSilent™ tires do not differ from non-ContiSilent™ tires. As with
any tire, regularly inspect ContiSilent™ tires for evidence of cuts, \
punctures, and loss of inflation pressure. At a minimum, ContiSilent™
tires should be inspected once or twice a month and always before a
long trip. Punctures or damage not attended to promptly can result in
loss of inflation pressure and/or damage to the tire. ContiSilent™ tires
with cuts and punctures must be inspected by a trained tire specialist
as soon as possible. The trained tire specialist must inspect the tire
carefully and, according to industry standards, determine whether a
permanent repair can be made or whether the tire must be removed
from service and scrapped.A permanent repair will require removal
of the tire from the rim and application of a repair method specifically
approved for ContiSilent™ Tires. ContiSilent™ tires are identified by a
symbol on the tire sidewall. ContiSilent™ tires and non-ContiSilent™
tires may be mixed on the same vehicle.
