CHECKING YOUR TIRE’S AIR PRESSURE
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital to help your
ti
res perform properly and help you get the best gas mileage possible.
Tires can lose up to 7 kPa (1 psi) per month under normal conditions
and lose up to 7 kPa (1 PSI) per every 9°C (16°F) drop in temperature.
Here are some simple steps on how to check the air pressures in your
tires:
1. Remove the valve stem cap.
2

. Place the end of the tire gauge firmly against the tire’s valve stem.
3
. Read the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is currently
i
n the tire.
4. Increase pressure at this time (if needed) and recheck with your tire
g
auge.
5. Replace the valve stem cap.
6
. Repeat until all of your tires have been checked and adjusted
a
ccordingly.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a safety
system found in most vehicles manufactured after 2005.
Th
ere are pressure sensing transmitters mounted inside of
each tire that sends readings to the central computer in your
vehicle. The TPMS system will alert you when one or more
of your tires are underinflated by 25% or more by turning on
a warning light on your vehicle’s dashboard or Heads Up Display
(HUD) screen. This means that one or more of your tires may have a
low-pressure condition. Follow the instructions in your Owner’s
Manual.

STORING YOUR TIRES
When storing your tires for any extended period of time, be sure to
th
oroughly clean your tires with a tire brush, soap, and water to
remove any dirt, salt, and brake dust from the tires. If you are storing
your tires still mounted on the wheels, use a wheel brush and
approved wheel cleaner to clean your wheels. Then dry the wheels
and tires with a towel and allow them to fully dry. DO NOT apply any
tire dressings while storing your tires. Tire compounds are made to
resist weather cracking and ozone damage. Place each clean and dry
tire in an airtight plastic bag and seal the bag with tape to help reduce
oil evaporation. Store your tires out of direct sunlight and somewhere
that is well shielded from the elements, like a climate-controlled room
or dry basement. Storing the tires in a garage or shed usually exposes
the tires to a wide range of temperatures as well as precipitation and
humidity. Keep the tires away from sources that emit ozone like
electric motors that use contact brushes, furnaces, sump pumps, etc.
Although tires will still age regardless of how they are stored, these
precautions will help slow the aging process and reduce the damage
to your tires.
SPEED LIMITS
TIRE SPINNING
WARNING!
Operating your vehicle in excess of the posted speed limit or the
ma
ximum speed allotted by driving conditions has the potential
to be dangerous. Higher driving speeds create excessive heat
buildup in a tire, leading to a possible tire failure.
WARNING!
Spinning a tire to get a stuck vehicle out of mud, ice, snow, sand,
or
wet grass can be potentially dangerous. A spinning tire at a
speedometer reading above 55 km/h (35 mph) can be capable of
di

sintegrating a tire with explosive force. In some circumstances,
a tire may be spinning at twice the speed displayed on the
speedometer. This can cause serious injury or death to you, a
passenger, or bystander. Never spin a tire above 55 km/h
(3

5 mph).

Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with radial tires, it
is difficult to notice when a tire has gone flat or nearly flat since the
“feel” of the vehicle does not change significantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation always requires
ex
pert inspection to determine the source of leakage and tire
removal to determine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt
to reinflate a tire that has been run severely underinflated. Progressive
air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing, impacts or partial
bead unseating. Some fitment causes for air loss are (1) incomplete
bead seating, (2) bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to
insufficient lubrication or improper adjustment. Leaking valve core or
rubber valve components should be replaced when problems are
detected and whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level recommended by
t h

e vehicle manufacturer as shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle
certification label or in the vehicle Owner’s Manual:
Under inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in
se
vere cracking, component separation or “blowout.” It reduces tire
load capacity, allows excessive sidewall flexing and increases rolling
resistance, resulting in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important thing you can
do to promote tire durability and maximize tread life.
Over inflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate ride and
ge
nerate unwanted vibration. Over inflation also increases the
chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to determine the load limits.
Ov
erloading your vehicle places stress on your tires and other critical
vehicle components. Overloading a vehicle can cause poor handling
or increased fuel consumption and may cause tire failure.
Overloading your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation or “blowout.”
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load capacity than
sh
own on the vehicle tire placard and remember that optimum rim
width is important for proper tire load distribution and function. The
maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of P-Metric &
European Metric tires is reduced by 10% when used on a light truck,
utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric or European Metric tires to
light trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.

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.
