TIRE REPAIRS
In the event that you get a flat tire while driving, it is best to find a
ne
arby, safe place to stop and install your spare tire or call a tow truck.
The less distance that you drive on your low or flat tire, the better
chances your tire has of being repairable. Once you are able to get to
your local servicing tire dealer, have them dismount the tire from the
rim and thoroughly inspect the inside of the tire. It is important to
know the difference between a proper tire repair and an improper one
because it can be critical to you and your vehicle’s safety. An improper
repair could pose a safety threat to you and your family and could also
affect your tire’s manufacturer warranty. Here are some tips in
determining if your damaged tire can be properly repaired or not:
• A lways have the tire removed from the wheel and inspected before
a
ny repair is performed.
• Tires with less than 1.6
mm (2/32 of an inch) of tread should NOT
be
repaired.
• Never repair a tire with a puncture larger than 6
mm (1/4 of an
in
ch).
• Repairs should be limited to the tread area only.
•
Repairs cannot overlap one another.
•
A plug and patch or plug/patch combo should be used to effectively
r
epair a tire puncture.
• If anything seems questionable at any time during the repair
p
rocess, ask your service advisor for more details and/or call the
tire manufacturer to make sure the tire’s warranty is not being
voided.
TIRE MIX USAGE
WARNING!
Never mix tires of different size or construction and/or type on
an
y axle. (Except for temporary use as a spare tire.) Always refer to
the vehicle’s owner manual for proper tire fitments.

THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built and tested to
th
e high engineering standards set by North America’s leading car
manufacturers and to Goodyear’s own high standards of quality
control. It is designed to take up a minimum of storage space and, at
the same time, fulfill the function of a spare tire when needed. The
spare is kept in its storage space, fully inflated at 60 psi. To be sure it
is always ready for use, the air pressure should be checked on a
regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in combination with
th
e original tires on your vehicle. You can expect a tire tread life of up
to 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers), depending on road conditions and
yo

ur driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, return the spare to the
storage area as soon as it is convenient to have the standard tire
repaired or replaced.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a standard tire
so
it’s easier to handle. It also helps reduce the total car weight, which
contributes to fuel economy. The wheels used with the Convenience
(Temporary) Spare are specifically designed for use with high
pressure spares and should never be used with any other type tire.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim
as
sembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow tire
manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to rim diameter.
Mount light truck radials on rims approved for radial service. Do not
apply bead sealer. This can inhibit bead seating. Lubricate beads and
tire rim (including tube or flap) contact surfaces. Lock assembly on
mounting machine or place in safety cage. STAND BACK and never
exceed 40 psi to seat beads. Never use a volatile substance or a rubber
“donut” (also known as a bead expander or “O-Ring”) to aid bead
seating. Only specially trained persons should mount tires.
DO NOT MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND TYPES ON THE
SA
ME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear® recommends fitment
of
four tires of the same type and size unless otherwise specified by the
vehicle manufacturer.

WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY
• TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause tire beads
to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on the rim,
causing personal injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) installation and safety procedure for
mounting and inflating tires. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts
must match by manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and
beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended pressure to seat
beads on rim. Use remote control inflation equipment and inflation
cage.

NOTE:

• Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads.
• Mount radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel manufac -
t
urer as suitable for radial tire.
• O nly specially trained persons shall mount tires.
• AIR PRESSURE
Check the pressure in your tires, including your spare, at least
mo
nthly, and always before and during extended driving. Check
tires cold (at least three hours after the vehicle has been stopped and
before it is driven more than 1 mile or 1.6 kilometers). Do not reduce

inflated. However, even when properly loaded and inflated, driving
for prolonged periods at high speeds can cause tire damage and
possible tire failure which could lead to an accident. Original equip -
ment speed-rated tires must be replaced with tires of the same or
hi
gher speed rating if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be
maintained. Consult your Hankook dealer for the tires best suited to
your vehicle driving habit. Repairing of speed-rated tires must be
done in accordance with RMA repair procedures and is limited to
one 1/4" diameter repair in the tread area.
• TIRE ROTATION R
otate your tires for longer tire life. Front and rear tires perform
di
fferent jobs and can wear differently. Consult your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for mileage recommendations and rotation
patterns.

• Use an accurate tire gauge to check tire air pressures. Always
maintain the proper recommended air inflation pressure in all
tires. If there is an indication that one of your tires has lost four
or more pounds of air pressure, immediately look for signs of
penetration through the tire, valve leaks or wheel damage that
may account for the air loss. You should also have your tires
inspected by a tire retailer immediately.
• Air pressure should be checked when tires are cold (before they
h
ave been driven), ideally in the early morning. Driving, regard -
less of distance, causes tires to heat up and simultaneously
in
crease air pressure.
• Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure for the tire.
•
Never bleed air from hot tires as this may result in underinfla -
t
ion.
• Inspect your tires daily. If you notice any damage to your tires or
w
heels, replace them with a spare and immediately visit any tire
retailer for advice. Driving over potholes, curbs, wood debris,
metal, etc., can damage a tire and should be safely avoided.
Contact with such hazards requires an immediate and thorough
tire inspection by your tire retailer.
• Always examine your tires for penetrations, bulges, cracks, cuts,
a
nd abnormal wear – particularly at the tire edges – which may
be caused by, for example, vehicle misalignment or tire underin -
flation. Failure to properly control a vehicle when one or more
ti
res are underinflated may result in an accident. Use of a
damaged tire may result in rapid air loss, including sudden tire
failure.
• An explosion of the tire/rim assembly may occur due to improper
m
ounting. Only specially trained persons should mount tires.
• Failure to store tires in accordance with the following recom -
m
endations may result in damage to your tires, reduction in tire
du
rability, or sudden tire failure.

CONTROLLABILITY
Controlling a vehicle when a tire failure occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration,
an
d/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 most 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 looks flat or low, shows 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.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
I N

FLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in
su
dden tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment,
refer to the tire decal on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle
Owner’s Manual for decal location) for the recommended operating
pressures. For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be
provided by your tire retailer; if not, refer to the vehicle decal.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum.
Ho
wever, do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on
the tire sidewall.
SELF-SUPPORTING TIRES. ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES, AND
PA
X® SYSTEM TIRES, AT LOW OR ZERO AIR PRESSURE
The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated PAX® System
ti
re or Self- Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire (whether front or rear)
are not the same as those of a vehicle with normally inflated tires.
Avoid high speeds and hard cornering whenever a low pressure
warning is activated.

MICHELIN®
164
Even a MICHELIN® PAX® System Tire or Self-Supporting Zero
Pressure (ZP) tire can build up excessive heat when run underinflated
for an extended period of time. The length of time and distance a
PAX® System Tire/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire will
perform at low or zero air pressure will depend upon the severity of
the event causing air loss, ambient temperature, speed at which the
tire is operated, and the conditions under which the tire is operated
(i.e. hard braking, cornering and other sharp maneuvers will greatly
reduce the length of time the tire can perform at low or zero air
pressure.) Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead to sudden
tire destruction. If a tire at low or zero pressure begins to vibrate or
cause difficulty in vehicle handling, remove the tire immediately and
replace with the temporary spare. If Michelin® PAX® System Tire/
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires are supplied as original
equipment, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for complete details
on the low tire pressure warning system designed to alert you in the
event of a low pressure condition.
