TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on the
sp

eedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running, unloaded tire can
cause it to “explode” from centrifugal force. The energy released by
such an explosion is sufficient to cause serious physical injury or
death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind the spinning tire.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions, do not
en
gage in excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor excessively,
particularly with automatic transmission vehicles, may cause a drive
tire that has lost traction to spin beyond its speed capability. This is
also true when balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle
using the vehicle engine to spin the tire/wheel assembly.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. H
owever, at high
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for
example is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid
accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with the spare at
on
ce and visit a participating BFGoodrich® Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each
ty
pe of BFGoodrich® tire will cause the tire to build up excessive heat
which can cause tire damage that could result in sudden tire
destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle when one or
more tires experience a sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated
by
the legal limits and driving conditions.

MICHELIN®

instructions for checking pressures when tires are hot. When tires
have cooled, check air pressure again. If any tire has lost more than
5 PSI from the previous pressure check, have the tire inspected at
once by an authorized PAX® System Retailer for PAX® tires or a
participating Michelin® tire retailer or representative of your
vehicle manufacturer if your vehicle Owner’s Manual so advises.
Failure to do so may cause irreparable damage to the tire and result
in sudden tire destruction and personal injury.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (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 vehicle’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 tire pressure monitoring
system will require re-calibration to 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
l o

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 your vehicle’s
manufacturer.

• When two new tires have been installed onto the rear axle positions,
they are to be kept on the rear but rotated from side to side. This is
recommended after installing two new tires to the rear position, or
if you discover significant tread depth differences between the front
and rear positions during rotation intervals.
REPLACING ONE TIRE
• Replacing a single tire on a vehicle can have an adverse effect on
s
uspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
• If single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that the
s
ingle new tire be paired with the tire that has the deepest tread and
both be placed on the rear axle. Placing greater traction on the rear
axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a possible oversteer
condition and loss of vehicle stability.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
• Proper wheel alignment and balance are very important consider -
a
tions for safety and getting the maximum mileage from your tires.
Yo
u need to check how your tires are wearing at least once a month.
• Your vehicle may be out of alignment if your tires are wearing
u
nevenly, such as when the inside shoulder of the tire is wearing
faster than the rest of the tread. This condition not only shortens the
life of your tires, it adversely affects the handling characteristics of
your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If your tires show irregular
wear, have your vehicle’s alignment checked immediately.
