It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a
pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s
specifications match those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an authorized tire dealer or original
eq
uipment dealer with any questions you may have on tire
specifications or capability. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires
may adversely affect the safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.
WARNING!
• Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or speed rating other
t
han that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unap -
proved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and
pe
rformance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering,
handling, and braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpredict -
able handling and stress to steering and suspension compo -
nents. You could lose control and have a collision resulting in
se
rious injury or death. Use only the tire and wheel sizes with
load ratings approved for your vehicle.
• Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity, other than
w
hat was originally equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with
a smaller load index could result in tire overloading and failure.
You could lose control and have a collision.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed
c
apability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle
control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in
fa
lse speedometer and odometer readings.

Tire Types
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All season tires provide traction for all seasons (Spring, Summer,
Au
tumn, and Winter). Traction levels may vary between different all
season tires. All season tires can be identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S
or MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use all season tires only in sets
of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling
of your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires — If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry conditions, and are
no
t intended to be driven in snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped
with summer tires, be aware these tires are not designed for winter or
cold driving conditions. Install winter tires on your vehicle when
ambient temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered
with ice or snow. For more information, contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season designation or mountain/
sn
owflake symbol on the tire sidewall. Use summer tires only in sets
of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling
of your vehicle.
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during the
w i

nter. Snow tires can be identified by a “mountain/snowflake”
symbol on the tire sidewall.

If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and
type to the original equipment tires. Use snow tires only
in
sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the
safety and handling of your vehicle.

Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than
wh
at was originally equipped with your vehicle and
should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h).
WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions. You could lose
ve
hicle control, resulting in severe injury or death. Driving too
fast for conditions also creates the possibility of loss of vehicle
control.

For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer to original equipment or an
au
thorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds,
loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid and traction
ca
pability on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer than that of
non-studded tires. Some states prohibit studded tires; therefore, local
laws should be checked before using these tire types.
Spare Tires — If Equipped
S

pare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And Wheel — If
Eq
uipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire and wheel equivalent
in
look and function to the original equipment tire and wheel found
on the front or rear axle of your vehicle. This spare tire may be used in
the tire rotation for your vehicle. If your vehicle has this option, refer
to an authorized tire dealer for the recommended tire rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only. You can
id
entify if your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare by looking
at the spare tire description on the Tire and Loading Information
Placard located on the driver side door opening or on the sidewall of
the tire. Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or
“S” preceding the size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should
be
repaired (or replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first
opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire
on
the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically
for the compact spare tire. Do not install more than one compact spare
tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time. CAUTION!

Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle
t h

rough an automatic car wash with a compact or limited use
temporary spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may result.

TIRES

Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only. This tire may
lo
ok like the originally equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your
vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have limited tread life. When
the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use full
size spare tire needs to be replaced. Since it is not the same as your
original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire
and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. This
ti
re is identified by a label located on the limited use spare wheel. This
label contains the driving limitations for this spare. This tire may look
like the original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle,
but it is not. Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle
handling. Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire,
replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the
vehicle at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited use spares are for emergency use only. Installation of this
li
mited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire, do
not drive more than the speed listed on the limited use spare
wheel. Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on
your Tire and Loading Information Placard located on the driver’s
side B-Pillar or the rear edge of the driver’s side door. Replace (or
repair) the original equipment tire at the first opportunity and
reinstall it on your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of
vehicle control.

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)

DO NOT OVERLOAD - DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE
IS DANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall.
Do
not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions of FCA US
LLC and this will ensure that your tires are not overloaded. Tires
which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the
particular application will build up excessive heat that may result in
sudden tire destruction.
Do not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for any axle on
yo
ur vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit any BFGoodrich®
ti
re retailer for advice concerning the correct size tire and pressures.
Tire size and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer
and hitch utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation
pressure or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and the
Owner’s Manual supplied by FCA US LLC for further
recommendations on trailer towing.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT
FO
R SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE
EA
CH MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the
ti
re wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These
conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect
the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be
dangerous. If you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your
alignment and balance checked immediately. Tires which have been
run underinflated will show more wear on the shoulders than in the
center of the tread.
TIRE MIXING
BFGoodrich® tires are radial tires and for best performance it is
r e

commended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four
wheel positions. Before mixing tires of different types in any
configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle
manufacturer’s Owner‘s Manual for its recommendations.

BFGOODRICH® TIRES

manufacturer’s specification due to the actual load on that wheel
position. Some vehicles may have different sized tires mounted on the
front and rear axles, and these different sized tires have rotation
restrictions. Always check the vehicle Owner’s Manual for the proper
rotation recommendations.
FULL-SIZE SPARE
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and
co
nstruction should be used in a five tire rotation. Always check the
inflation pressure of the full-size spare immediately before
incorporating it into rotation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended pattern for rotation, or if not available, see a qualified
tire technician.
REPLACEMENT OF TWO TIRES
It is recommended that all four tires are replaced at the same time.
Ho
wever, whenever only two tires are replaced, the new ones should
be put on the rear. The new tires, with deeper tread, may provide
better grip and water evacuation in wet driving conditions.
CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, OR SUSPENSION ON
SU
VS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as
SU
Vs and light trucks do not
have the same handling characteristics
as automobiles. Because of these differing characteristics, failure to
operate your SUV/truck in a proper and safe manner can increase the
likelihood of vehicle rollover. Modifications to your SUV/truck tire
size, tire type, wheels or suspension can change its handling
characteristics and further increase the likelihood of vehicle rollover.
Whether your SUV/truck has the original equipment configuration
for tires, wheels and suspension or whether any of these items have
been modified, always drive safely, avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane
changes and obey all traffic laws. Failure to do so may result in loss of
vehicle control leading to an accident and serious injury or death.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made any alterations on your tires.
Al
terations may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage
which can result in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable due
to alterations such as trueing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing
or sealant liquids, or the use of tire dressing containing petroleum
distillates are excluded from warranty coverage.

REPAIRS - WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR BFGOODRICH®
TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE
If any BFGoodrich® tire sustains a puncture, have the tire demounted
an
d thoroughly inspected by any BFGoodrich® tire retailer for
possible damage that may have occurred.
A tread area puncture in any BFGoodrich® passenger or light truck
ti
re can be repaired provided that the puncture hole is not more than
1/4” in diameter, not more than one radial cable per casing ply is
damaged, and the tire has not been damaged further by the
puncturing object or by running underinflated. Tire punctures
consistent with these guidelines can be repaired by following the
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) recommended repair
procedures.
TIRE REPAIRS
Repairs of all tires must be of the combined plug and inside patch
t y

pe. Plug only repairs are improper. A tire should be removed from
the rim and inspected prior to repair. Any tire repair done without
removing the tire from the rim is improper. An improperly repaired
tire will cause further damage to the tire by either leaking air or
allowing air, moisture and contaminants to enter the structure of the
tire. An improperly repaired tire can fail suddenly at a later date.
Never repair a tire with less than 2/32 nds of an inch tread remaining.
At
this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle
ma
nufacturer’s instructions.
