USING ContiSilent™ Tires
In aspects such as mounting,
demounting, inflating, and balancing,
ContiSilent™ tires do not differ from
non-ContiSilent™ tires. As with any tire,
regularly inspect ContiSilent™ tires for
evidence of cuts, punctures, and loss of
inflation pressure. At a minimum,
ContiSilent™ tires should be inspected
once or twice a month and always before
a long trip. Punctures or damage not
attended to promptly can result in loss of
inflation pressure and/or damage to the
tire. ContiSilent™ tires with cuts and
punctures must be inspected by a trained
tire specialist as soon as possible. The
trained tire specialist must inspect the
tire carefully and, according to industry
standards, determine whether a
permanent repair can be made or
whether the tire must be removed from
service and scrapped. A permanent
repair will require removal of the tire from
the rim and application of a repair
method specifically approved for
ContiSilent™ Tires.
ContiSilent™ tires are identified by a
symbol on the tire sidewall.
ContiSilent™ tires and non-ContiSilent™
tires may be mixed on the same vehicle.

•Tire failure due to excessive tire
spinning. Avoid tire spinning. The
centrifugal force generated by a
free-spinning tire/rim assembly may
cause a sudden tire explosion
resulting in vehicle damage and/or
serious injury or death. Never exceed
35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on
your speedometer when your vehicle
is stuck in snow, mud, or sand and
your tire(s) is/are spinning. Use a
gentle backward and forward rocking
motion to free your vehicle for
continued driving. Never stand or
permit anyone else to stand near or
behind a tire spinning while
attempting to push a vehicle that is
stuck.
