TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made any
alterations on your tires. Alterations may
prevent proper performance, leading to
tire damage which can result in an
accident. Tires which become
unserviceable due to alterations such
as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of
balancing or sealant liquids, or the use
of tire dressing containing petroleum
distillates are excluded from warranty
coverage.
REPAIRS - WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE
YOUR TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE
If any tire sustains a puncture, have the
tire demounted and thoroughly
inspected by a tire retailer for possible
damage that may have occurred. A tread
area puncture in any passenger or light
truck tire can be repaired provided that
the puncture hole is not more than 1/4”
in diameter, not more than one radial
cable per casing ply is damaged, and
the tire has not been damaged further
by the puncturing object or by running
underinflated. Tire punctures consistent
with these guidelines should only be
repaired by following the US Tire
Manufacturers Association (USTMA)
recommended repair procedures.
Plug-only repairs done on-the-wheel are
considered improper and therefore, not
recommended. Such repairs are not
reliable and may cause further damage
to the tire.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes and emollients to
protect their outer surfaces from ozone
and weather checking. As the tire rolls
and flexes, the waxes and emollients
continually migrate to the surface,
replenishing this protection throughout
the normal use of the tire. Consequently,
when tires sit unused for long periods
of time (a month or more) their surfaces
become dry and more susceptible to
ozone and weather checking and the
casing becomes susceptible to flat
spotting. For this reason, tires should
always be stored in a cool, dry, clean,
indoor environment. If storage is for
one month or more, eliminate the
weight from the tires by raising the
vehicle or by removing the tires from
the vehicle. Failure to store tires in
accordance with these instructions
could result in damage to your tires or
premature aging of the tires and
sudden tire failure.
When tires are stored, be sure they are
placed away from sources of heat and
ozone such as direct sunlight, hot pipes
and electric generators. Be sure that
surfaces on which tires are stored are
clean and free from grease, gasoline or
other substances, which could
deteriorate the rubber. Failure to store
tires in accordance with these
instructions could result in damage to
your tires or premature aging of the tires
and sudden tire failure.
