IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
All tires require owner maintenance regardless of how well a tire is
co
nstructed. Operational damages such as punctures, impact
damage, cuts, incorrect inflation, etc., may cause tire failure and
subsequent personal injury and/or property damage. Simple
operational and maintenance practices, as listed below, will reduce
the chances of tire problems.
Tire Inspection
Visually inspect your tires frequently for any tire damage such as
sc
rapes, bulges, cuts, nails, irregular wear, etc. resulting from
operation. This must be done immediately after any known or
suspected contact with an object in the road, a pothole, road
irregularity or after severe braking. Refer these conditions to a
reputable tire service center for repair or replacement. Never drive on
a tire if such conditions appear.
Tire Loading
Never exceed the maximum vehicle load limit listed on the vehicle
pl
acard, tire information label or in the Owners Manual. Be aware of
the load carrying limits molded into the tire’s sidewall and do not
exceed those limits. Maximum load can only be carried at the
maximum cold inflation pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.
Speed Limits
Regardless of the speed capability of your tires, never exceed lawful
sp
eeds or speeds dictated by driving conditions.
