Periodically inspect the tire treads and
sidewalls for damage, such as bulges in
the tread or sidewalls, cracks in the
tread groove and separation in the tread
or sidewall. If damage is observed or
suspected, have the tire inspected by a
tire professional.
Safety Practices
WARNING: If your vehicle is
stuck in snow, mud or sand, do not
rapidly spin the tires; spinning the tires
can tear the tire and cause an
explosion. A tire can explode in as little
as three to five seconds.
WARNING: Do not spin the
wheels at over 34 mph (55 km/h). The
tires may fail and injure a passenger
or bystander.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE
DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially
important. However, 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 once and visit
a participating Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown
on the following page for each type of
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.
DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVING ON
ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS
DANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of your tires
is molded on the tire sidewall. Do not
exceed this rating. Follow the loading
instructions of the manufacturer of your
vehicle and this will ensure that your
tires are not overloaded. Tires which are
loaded beyond their maximum allowable
loads for the particular application will
build up excessive heat that may result
in sudden tire destruction. Do not
exceed the gross axle weight rating for
any axle on your vehicle.
