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
Page 139 of 262

HANKOOK TIRES
138
pressure when tires are hot, use an accurate air pressure gauge to
check pressure and maintain it at the level recommended on the
vehicle tire placard or in the Owner’s Manual. Under inflation
produces extreme flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the
point that premature tire failure may occur. Over inflation can cause
the tires to be more susceptible to impact damage. Cold tire pres-
sures, however, should never be higher than the limit molded on the
si
dewall.
• LOAD LIMITS N
ever exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto the sidewall of
yo
ur tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the
vehicle tire placard, whichever is less. Overloading builds up exces-
sive heat in the tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
• HAZARDS A
void running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks, curbs, metal,
gl
ass, etc.) which may possibly cause internal tire damage.
Continued use of a tire that has suffered internal damage (which
may not be externally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure.
Determination of suspected internal damage requires demounting
the tire from its rim and examination by trained tire personnel.
• WORN TIRES N
ever drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained
pe
rsonnel when 2/32 nds inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth remain, as
in
dicated by treadwear indicators molded into the tread grooves.
Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32 nds of an inch remaining tread
depth) increases the probability of tire failure. In most states, it is
illegal to drive with less than 2/32 nds of an inch of remaining tread
depth.
• SPEED LIMITS O
perating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed limits or the
ma
ximum speeds justified by driving conditions can be dangerous.
Excessive speed creates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible
tire failure.
• SPEED-RATED TIRES S
peed-rated tires are identified by letters S, T, H, V, W, or Z as either
pa
rt of the size designation (e.g., HR), or part of the service descrip -
tion adjacent to the size designation (e.g., 94H) and indicates the
ma
ximum speed capability of the tire when properly loaded and
Page 140 of 262

HANKOOK TIRES
139
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.
• ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TEMPORARY T
IRE
• Air pressure.
C
heck inflation pressure as soon as practical after installation and
in
flate to 60 psi. The tire pressure should be checked monthly and
maintained at 60 psi while the tire is stored or in service.
• Vehicle restriction. T
he temporary spare tire was specifically designed for your car
an
d should not be used on any other vehicle.
• Other restrictions. T
he temporary spare tire should not be used with other wheels,
no
r should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers, or trim rings
be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted,
damage to these items or other vehicle components may occur.

r
eplace such tire with a comparable new KUMHO or Marshal tire
free of charge. Applicable taxes on the new tire and costs of
mounting and balancing and any other service charges are payable
by the owner.

se
rvice are payable by the owner.

To obtain the credit percentage, please refer to Adjustment Credit
Percentage Table or utilize the following example:
R.T.D.: Remaining Tread Depth
O.T.D.: Original Tread Depth
If R.T.D. = 5 and O.T.D. = 10, the calculation is (5 - 2 : remaining
us
eable tread depth) ÷ (10 - 2 : original useable tread depth)= 38%
3. Temporary Spare Tire D
uring the first 1/32" of the original usable tread, Kumho will re -
place such temporary tire with a comparable new Kumho tempo -
rary tire free of charge. After the first 1/32" of the original usable

ead, but less than 2/32", a credit of 50% towards a comparable
new Kumho temporary tire will be given. Applicable taxes and
costs of mounting and balancing and any other service charges are
payable by the owner.
4. Adjustment on ride complaint or out-of-round is allowed only
d
uring the first 2/32" of the original tread depth.

Adjustment Credit Percentage Based on Remaining Tread Depth
The authorized KUMHO or Marshal dealer will determine the
a d
justment cost by multiplying the percentage of the original usable
tread worn by the current KUMHO or Marshal dealer’s price list in
effect at the time of adjustment.
