BFGOODRICH® TIRES
30
Check cold pressure as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours.
“Bleeding” air from hot tires could result in under-inflation. Use an
accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow children to
inflate or deflate tires.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
Sy
stem (TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires
mounted on your vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire
pressure falls below a predetermined level. A TPMS should not
replace monthly manual pressure checks for all four tires and the
spare. We recommend that you manually monitor and check tire
pressure inflation with a pressure gauge.
Your tires should have the recommended pressure listed by your
ve
hicle’s manufacturer. This information can be found in the vehicle
Owner’s Manual and often on a placard located in the vehicle’s door
jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door. If you
have a plus size fitment that requires a higher inflation pressure, your
TPMS will require re-calibration to the new inflation pressure. Refer
to your tire dealer/installer of plus size tires for proper inflation
pressure.
We recommend checking air pressure once each month, and before a
lo
ng trip. Whether you have a full-sized or mini-spare, make sure that
it is properly inflated as well. If the TPMS generates improper
monitoring or signals we recommend that you consult your Owner’s
Manual provided with your vehicle and follow up with FCA US LLC.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: .............................................. 32 psi (220 kPa)
If recommended cold inflation pressure is: .................... 30 psi (205 kPa)
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4 psi = .............. 34 psi (205 + 30 = 235 kPa)
Therefore: add 2 psi ...................................................... (15 kPa)
