BFGOODRICH TIRE
inspected by your BFGoodrich tire retailer at once. Use of a damaged
tire could result in tire failure and an accident.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds, hard
cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads that
are in poor condition, or offroad use. Roads with holes, rocks, or other
objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of your vehicle.
When driving on such roads, drive carefully and slowly, and before
driving again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for any
damage, such as cuts, bumps, bulges, penetrations, or unusual
wear patterns.
Tread Wear Bars Indicate the Limit of Tread Life
BFGOODRICH® tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the tire tread grooves
at 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm). When the tread remaining matches
the height of the Wear Bars, your tires must be replaced to ensure
tire safety. Tires worn beyond this stage are extremely dangerous.
For more information on checking tread depth, visit the “Tires 101”
at bfgoodrichtires.com and read the illustrated how-to information
on tire inspection.
Loading
The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire
sidewall. Do not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions
of the manufacturer of your vehicle to ensure that your tires are
not overloaded.
Tires loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular
application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire \
failure and an accident. Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for \
any axle on your vehicle.

• Never put flammable substances in tire/wheel assemblies at
any time. Never put any flammable substance into a tire/wheel
assembly and attempt to ignite to seat the beads.
•
Always stand well away from the work area when tires are being
spin balanced either on or off the vehicle.
High Performance, Low Aspect Ratio Tires
Many new vehicles come equipped from the factory with high
performance and/or low aspect ratio tires. Generally, these tires
provide increased vehicle handling capability, but may also have
numerous engineering performance trade-offs associated with
their designs. •
Low aspect ratio tires, with reduced sidewall height, may be
more susceptible to damage from potholes, road hazards, and
other objects such as curbs. This is true for the wheels as well.
Therefore, as with all other tires, it is important to drive with care
and maintain proper inflation pressure and load conditions. See
“Tire Inflation Pressure” and “Tire Damage, Inspection and Service
Life” in this manual.
•
Some sports cars and other handling performance enhanced
vehicles, including sedans and light trucks/SUVs, may be originally
equipped with high performance tires that are more optimized
for warmer weather use. Colder, winter weather traction may be
reduced for these types of tires. Winter tires may be recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer for colder weather application. See
“Winter Tires,” the next section in this manual.
•
High performance tires may also wear more quickly, ride more
firmly, and produce more noise during operation.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual and tire information placard, or
a qualified tire service professional, for more information and specifics
regarding these types of tires.

• A plug and patch or plug/patch combo should be used to effectively
repair a tire puncture.
•
If anything seems questionable at any time during the repair
process, ask your service advisor for more details and/or call the
tire manufacturer to make sure the tire’s warranty isn’t
being voided.
Tire Mix Usage
SAFETY WARNING
Never mix tires of different size or construction and/or type on any axle.
(Except for temporary use as a spare tire.) Always refer to the vehicle’s
owner manual for proper tire fitments.
Tire Speed Ratings
Falken recommends replacing your tire(s) with the same speed rating
as the original tires equipped on your vehicle.
It is okay to use a lower speed rated tire when using winter tires.
However, speeds should be reduced to match the tires new “maximum”
speed capability.
Any tire that is repaired, damaged, abused, altered from its original
state or retreaded voids the speed rating on that particular tire and
should be considered a non-speed rated tire.
SAFETY WARNING
Falken does not recommend the use of mixing different speed ratings
on a vehicle. This can cause poor handling and unpredictable steering.
High Performance, Low Aspect Ratio Tires
Various new vehicles come equipped with high performance and/or
low aspect ratio tires from the factory. These tires generally provide
increased vehicle handling characteristics, but may also have
engineering performance trade-offs related with their designs. Low
aspect ratio tires have reduced sidewall heights and may be more
vulnerable to damage from road hazards, potholes, and other objects,

MICHELIN

Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations, and abnormal tire
wear, particularly on the edges of the tire tread. Any of these may
be caused by misalignment, contact with road hazards or objects,
or improper inflation. If any such damage is found, the tire must be
inspected by your Michelin tire retailer at once. Use of a damaged tire \
could result in tire failure and an accident.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds, hard
cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads that
are in poor condition, or off-road use. Roads with holes, rocks, or other
objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of your vehicle.
When driving on such roads, drive carefully and slowly, and before
driving again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for any
damage, such as cuts, bumps, bulges, penetrations, or unusual
wear patterns.
