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).

tire. Do not abruptly brake or turn.
• Maintain steady pressure on the accelerator pedal.
•
Hold the steering wheel firmly and steer to maintain your lane posi -
t
ion.
• Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to gradu -
a
lly decelerate. Apply light braking as required to stop safely.
• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a
d
amaged tire on your vehicle.
• Seek roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your
s
pare tire.
• Have all of your tires and the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a tire
p
rofessional.
TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all
ti
res on a vehicle. Your tires should be thoroughly examined on a lift
by a tire dealer for any abnormalities. If tires show uneven treadwear,
ask the service person to check and/or correct any vehicle wheel
alignment or other mechanical problem before rotation.
The following rotation patterns are acceptable. Please refer to your
ve
hicle Owner’s Manual for rotation advice.
