Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury New Vehicle Limited Warranty:
One or more separate warranties apply to tires on your new vehicle. The
New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers tire defects in factory supplied
material or workmanship for 100% of labor costs and on a pro rata
adjustment basis for parts. (See the reimbursement schedule below).
For vehicles within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty time in service
and mileage coverge period, defective tires will be replaced on a pro rata
adjustment basis according to the following mileage-based
Reimbursement Schedule:
MILES DRIVEN PERCENT OF PARTS COVERED BY FORD
FOR FORD AND MERCURY PASSENGER CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
1 - 12,000 -100%
12,001 - 24,000 - 60%
24,001 - 36,000 - 30%
MILES DRIVEN PERCENT OF PARTS COVERED BY FORD

24,001 - 36,000 - 30%
36,001 - 50,000 - 15%
The tire manufacturer may also provide you with a separate tire warranty
that may extend beyond the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage. You
will find the manufacturer’s tire warranty with the owner literature
supplied with your vehicle or in this guide if it has been provided to Ford
with a request to publish. You have the option of having a tire warranty
repair performed by the tire manufacturer’s authorized service center. If
you go to a tire service center for a repair covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty, you may be charged a prorated amount for wear or other
charges. If so, you should present your paid invoice detailing the nature of
the charges to any Ford Motor Company dealership for refund
consideration. When making warranty repairs on your vehicle, the dealer
will use Ford or Motorcraft parts or remanufactured or other parts that are
authorized by Ford. In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at
other than Ford dealer facilities. Tire replacements under warranty will be
made with the same brand and model as originally equipped with the
vehicle unless the same brand and model is no longer available, in which
1
case a tire of the same brand, size, load, speed and tread type will be used.
In some circumstances, Ford may authorize another brand and/or model to
substitute for the original brand and model, even if still available.
Refer to your New Vehicle Limited Warranty Guide for complete
coverage details.
The following tire warranty information has been provided by and
published at the request of the tire manufacturer. Ford Motor Company
makes no representations about the warranties or information provided
by tire manufacturers.
BFGOODRICH姞 TIRES
ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a BFGoodrich威 brand passenger or light
truck tire, you are encouraged to read this booklet carefully to determine
which warranty coverages apply to the specific tires that you own. Please
also pay close attention to the Owner’s Manual part of this booklet since
it provides essential safety and maintenance information.

WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG

Workmanship and materials
BFGoodrich威 brand passenger and light truck tires, used in normal
service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted and in
accordance with the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings
contained in the attached owner’s manual, are covered by this warranty
against defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original
usable tread, or six years from the date of purchase, whichever comes
first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire. The life of
the original usable tread is the original tread down to the level of the
treadwear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
Date of purchase is documented by new vehicle registration. If no proof
of purchase is available, the date of manufacture as molded on the
sidewall will be used. Replacement will be made in accordance with the
terms and conditions described under “How Replacement Charges are
Calculated”. Note: your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional tire
warranty coverage over and above what is provided by BFGoodrich威.
Consult your vehicle owner’s information for further information.

Treadwear - For Tires with Mileage Warranty Coverage
Some BFGoodrich威 brand tread designs are covered by a manufacturer’s
limited warranty for treadwear. These tires (hereafter referred to as
“mileage tires”) have mileage coverage as follows:
Tread Design Warranted Mileage
Control T/A威 M80 80,000 miles
Traction T/A威 (T-Rated) 70,000 miles
ControlPlusTM 65,000 miles
Control T/A威 M65 65,000 miles
Traction T/A威 (H/V-Rated) 60,000 miles
Momenta威 S/E 50,000 miles
Comp T/A威 HR4 40,000 miles
No tire manufacturer can guarantee you a certain number of miles from
a given tire. Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and
vehicle and tire maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a
tire does not reach the warranted mileage, and the owner of the tires has
complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty, BFGoodrich威
brand will replace the tires as follows:
If, within 6 years of the date of purchase, your BFGoodrich威 brand
mileage tires wear evenly across the tread, down to the treadwear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) before providing the
warranted miles of service as indicated on the properly functioning
vehicle odometer, they will be replaced with comparable new
BFGoodrich威 tires for a pro rata charge based on the actual mileage
received. See “How Replacement Charges are Calculated - Mileage Tires”
later in this guide.

You pay the cost of mounting, balancing, and any other service
charges and applicable taxes.
Tires which wear out evenly before delivering the warranted mileage will
be replaced on a pro rata basis only if:
1. You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own the vehicle on
which they were originally installed, and the tires have been used only
on that vehicle;

3
2. The tires have been rotated and inspected by a participating
BFGoodrich威 tire retailer every 7,500 miles, and the rotation service
record in the Scheduled Maintenance guide has been fully completed
and signed;
3. The completed rotation service record, Original Owner/Tire
Installation Information form, and new vehicle registration are
presented to a participating BFGoodrich威 tire retailer/authorized
dealer at the time of adjustment claim; and
4. The tires have not become unserviceable due to a condition listed
under WHAT IS NOT COVERED following.
DEFINITIONS

The “legal life of the tire” is six years from the date of purchase or the
life of the “usable tread”, which is defined as the original tread worn
down to the level of the treadwear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6 mm) of tread remaining, whichever comes first. The date of
purchase is documented by a new vehicle registration. If no proof of
purchase is available, the date of manufacture, as molded on the
sidewall, will be used. Replacement will be made in accordance with the
terms and conditions described under “HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES
ARE CALCULATED.”
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or
puncture);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper
repair;
• Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation,
overinflation or other abuse;
• Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in
the vehicle such as wheel misalignment, (a measured tread difference
of 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire);
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism;
• Use in commercial applications for treadwear;
• Flat spotting caused by improper storage;

4
• The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air,
nitrogen or carbon dioxide (for example, waterbase sealers or
balancing substances);
• Ozone or weather checking.

HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED

Passenger and Light Truck Tires Workmanship/Materials

A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new BFGoodrich威 brand tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of
an inch (1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less,
whichever is more beneficial to you) and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. The cost of mounting and balancing the tire is included. You pay
the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes. When
more than 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of the original tread has been worn
(or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to you) or after 12
months from the date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a comparable
new BFGoodrich威 brand passenger or light truck replacement tire on a pro
rata basis. The retailer/authorized dealer will determine the charge by
multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn by the
current selling price at the adjustment location or the price on the
current BFGoodrich威 brand Base Price List, whichever is lower. This list
is based on a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the actual
selling price of the tire. You pay the cost of mounting, balancing,
and or any other service charges and applicable taxes.

Mileage Tires

A tire meeting the conditions for treadwear pro rata replacement will be
replaced with a comparable new BFGoodrich威 brand tire based on the
actual mileage received. The participating BFGoodrich威 brand tire
retailer/authorized dealer will determine the charge by multiplying the
percent of mileage received by the current actual selling price at the
adjustment location or the price for the new tire in the current
BFGoodrich威 brand Base Price List, whichever is lower. This list is based
on a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the actual selling
price of the tire. You pay the cost of mounting, balancing, and any
other service charges and applicable taxes.
5
WHAT YOU MUST DO WHEN MAKING A CLAIM

When making a claim under the terms of this limited warranty you must
present your tire(s) to a participating BFGoodrich威 brand tire
retailer/authorized dealer. The vehicle on which the tires were used must
be available for inspection. BFGoodrich威 brand tire retailers are listed in
the yellow pages under “Tire Dealers-Retail”. Personal identification (i.e.
Driver’s License, Credit Card, etc.) and vehicle registration may be
required. You pay any service charges for normal vehicle and tire
maintenance.

CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

This limited warranty does not provide compensation for loss of time,
loss of use of vehicle, inconvenience or incidental or consequential
damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to you. Tires presented for claim remain the property of
the consumer and BFGoodrich威 brand accepts no responsibility for loss
of, or damage to, tires which are in the custody or control of a
BFGoodrich威 brand tire retailer/authorized dealer for the purpose of
inspection for warranty adjustment.
Tires accepted for claim become the property of Michelin North America,
Inc. (“MNA”), which is the processor or warranty claims for BFGoodrich威
brand tires.
In the event of a disputed claim, the consumer must make the
tire available for further inspection.
No BFGoodrich威 brand representative, employee or retailer has the
authority to make or imply any representation, promise or agreement,
which in any way varies from the terms of this limited warranty.

This limited warranty applies only in the United States.

CONSUMER RIGHTS

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.

 CONTINENTAL TIRE NORTH AMERICA, INC. AND
CONTINENTAL TIRE CANADA, INC.
LIMITED WARRANTY AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
FOR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES (Including Temporary Spare Tires)

This Limited Warranty (“Limited Warranty”) and Adjustment Policy

(“Policy”) is issued by Continental Tire the Americas, LLC and
Continental Tire Canada, Inc. (“Continental Tire”) and is
applicable for Continental/General Tire brand new vehicle original
equipment tires and is a promise of replacement under certain specified
conditions. This Limited Warranty and Policy applies to tires in normal
service displaying adjustable conditions (see Section 4) and does not
require the existence of a workmanship-or-material-related condition in
order to qualify for adjustment.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND POLICY IS NOT A WARRANTY

THAT YOUR TIRE WILL NOT FAIL OR BECOME
UNSERVICEABLE IF NEGLECTED OR MISTREATED.

Continental Tire recommends that you carefully review this

guide, which contains important Limited Warranty and Policy
information. Continental Tire encourages you to also read the
important safety and maintenance information included in this
guide.
1. ELIGIBILITY

This Limited Warranty and Policy applies to the original owner of new
Continental/General Tire brand passenger car, light truck (“LT”) and
Temporary Spare tires that are the new vehicle original equipment tires
bearing the Continental/General Tire brand name and D.O.T. Tire
Identification Number, operated in normal service, and equipped on your
vehicle on which they were originally installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendations (“Eligible Tires”).

8
2. WHAT IS THE ADJUSTMENT POLICY AND HOW LONG IS IT
APPLICABLE?
A. BASIC COVERAGE:

Eligible Tires are covered by this Limited Warranty and Policy for a
maximum of 72 months from the date of purchase determined by the
new vehicle registration date or new vehicle sales invoice showing date
of purchase. If an eligible Continental/General Tire brand passenger, light
truck, or Temporary Spare tire used in normal service, becomes
unserviceable from a condition other than those listed under Section 4
during the time or treadwear periods shown below, it will be replaced
with a comparable new Continental/General Tire brand tire according to
the following paragraphs (1) and (2).

(1) Free Replacement Policy

Time Treadwear
Passenger and First 12 Months or First 2/32nds (1.6 mm)
Light Truck Tires
(Whichever comes first)
Mounting and balancing included free of charge.
Owner pays all applicable taxes, excluding F.E.T. if in the U.S.
Temporary Spare 72 Months or First 1/32nd (0.8 mm)
Tire
(Whichever comes first)
Mounting and balancing included free of charge.
Owner pays all applicable taxes.

(2) ‘‘Pro Rata Replacement Policy’’

After the free replacement period expires, Continental/General Tire

brand passenger and light truck tires still may be eligible for a pro rata
replacement for 72 months from date of original purchase as follows: you
may purchase a new, comparable Continental/General Tire brand
replacement tire on a pro rata basis until the tread is worn down to the
treadwear indicators (2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread remaining);
the tire tread is worn out at this point and the Basic Coverage of this
Limited Warranty and Policy ends, regardless of the time period
remaining. Owner pays all applicable taxes including, if in the U.S.,
F.E.T., mounting and balancing charges.
9
(3) TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
A. BASIC COVERAGE

Continental/General Tire brand Temporary Spare tires are covered by

this Limited Warranty and Policy for a maximum of 72 months from date
of purchase.

If a Continental/General Tire brand Temporary Spare tire used in normal

service becomes unserviceable from a condition other than those listed
in Section 4 within the first 1/32nds of an inch (0.8 mm) of treadwear,
the tire will be replaced with a new Continental/General Tire brand
Temporary Spare free of charge, including mounting and balancing.
Owner pays all applicable taxes. After the first 1/32nd of an inch
(0.8 mm) of treadwear, the Limited Warranty and Policy coverage
expires, no adjustments will be made.
3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS CALCULATED

The replacement tire price will be determined by multiplying the

percentage of the useable tread worn by the Dealers Selling Price
(excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of the adjustment or the
Continental/General Tire brand current published Adjustment Base Price,
whichever is lower. The usable tread is the original tread down to the
treadwear indicators (2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread remaining).
The Adjustment Base Price is intended to fairly represent a Dealers
Selling Price for the same or comparable tire.
4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE ADJUSTMENT POLICY
A. THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE NOT COVERED:
• Repairs: If a tire is returned under complaint and the reason for the tire’s
disablement is any way associated with a repair or with the situation that
led to the repair, the manufacturer’s warranty is invalidated.
• Road Hazard: Any tire with road hazard damage, except for those
conditions and certain tire lines that fall within the terms of coverage
of the Road Hazard Coverage set forth in Section 4. This includes, but
is not limited to: cuts, snags, punctures, bruises, and impact breaks.
• Ride Vibration: Any ride/vibration complaint after the first 2/32nds
(1.6 mm) of an inch of treadwear or 12 months of service, whichever
comes first.

10
• Improper Operation or Maintenance:
This includes, but is not limited to, effects caused by:
앩 Improper tire inflation and/or improper load/speed practices:
These practices can cause excessive operational temperatures
and stresses that exceed the tire’s capabilities.
앩 Improper or insufficient tire rotation: Any tire with premature or
irregular wear caused by failing to follow the recommended tire
rotation pattern and/or mileage intervals.
앩 Damage due to:

• Improper Mounting or Demounting
• Alterations: such as adding a white inlay on blackwall, tread
regrooving, tire truing or siping, or adding sealant materials to the tire.
• Weather checking/cracking: not covered after 48 months from the
date of manufacture.

B. General Exclusions
Tire(s) submitted for an adjustment as covered in the Basic Coverage of
Section 2A in service for longer than 72 months from date of purchase.

Tire(s) on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the

United States and Canada. For tires on vehicles normally operated

 GOODYEAR & DUNLOP BRANDS

Ford Original Equipment Limited Warranty

Highway Auto Tires
Light Truck Tires
Temporary Spare

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

You are eligible for the benefits of this Limited Warranty if you meet all
the following criteria:
• You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of new Goodyear
or Dunlop highway auto or light truck tires supplied as original
equipment on your Ford Motor Company vehicle
• Your tires bear Department of Transportation prescribed tire
identification numbers
• Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which they were
originally installed according to the vehicle manufacturer or
Goodyear’s recommendations
• Your tires were purchased on or after January 1, 2004

WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?

FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT -
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway radial auto or radial light truck
tire, covered by this policy, removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition during the first 2/32⬙ of usable treadwear or twelve
months from date of purchase, whichever comes first, will be replaced
with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop brand tire at no charge,
including mounting and balancing. Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.

ALL OTHER HIGHWAY AUTO OR LIGHT TRUCK TIRES

Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto or light truck tire, other than
radial auto, radial light truck tires, removed from service due to a
covered warranty condition during the first 1/32⬙ of usable treadwear will
be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tire at no
charge, including mounting and balancing.
15
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES

Any Goodyear or Dunlop brand temporary spare tire removed from

service due to a covered warranty condition during the first 50% of
usable treadwear (1/32⬙) will be replaced with a comparable new
Goodyear or Dunlop brand temporary spare tire at no charge, including
mounting.
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement that are removed from service due
to a covered warranty condition will be replaced with a comparable new
Goodyear or Dunlop brand tire on a prorated basis for up to six (6) years
from the date of original new tire purchase or when the treadwear
indicators become visible (worn to 2/32⬙), whichever occurs first.
Without proof of purchase the date of manufacture will be used to
determine eligibility.
HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES BE CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the tire’s advertised
retailer selling price at the time of adjustment by the percentage of
usable original tread that has been worn off. You pay for mounting and
balancing, and an amount equal to the current Federal Excise Tax (U.S.
only) and government mandated charges, and any other applicable taxes.

EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32⬙ of usable treadwear

and is worn to 4/32⬙ usable tread remaining, you have used 50% and
therefore must pay 50% of the advertised retail selling price of the
comparable tire. In addition, you must pay an amount equal to the full
current Federal Excise Tax (U.S. only) or any other applicable taxes and
government-mandated charges for the comparable new replacement tire
at the time of adjustment. If the price of the new comparable tire is $80,
the cost to you would be $40 plus F.E.T. (U.S. only) plus any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated charges.

16
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?

A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop tire will be the same brand tire
and may either be the same line of tire or, in the event that the tire is
not available, the same brand tire with the same basic construction and
quality with a different sidewall or tread configuration. If a higher priced
tire is accepted as replacement, the difference in price will be at an
additional charge to you.

Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty will be covered

by the Goodyear or Dunlop warranty in effect at the time of replacement.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

A tire has delivered its full original tread life and the coverage of this
limited warranty ends when the treadwear indicators become visible
(worn to 2/32⬙), or six (6) years from the date of new tire purchase,
whichever occurs first. Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.
LIMITATIONS

This limited warranty is applicable only in the United States and Canada.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?

This limited warranty does not cover the following:

• Tires submitted for ride disturbance complaints that are worn beyond
the first two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32⬙) tread depth or 6 months
from date of new vehicle purchase, whichever occurs first, or tires
submitted for ride disturbance due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.
• Goodyear and Dunlop do not warrant or give credit in any adjustment
transaction for any kind of material added to a tire (e.g., tire fillers,
sealants, balancing substances) after the tire leaves a factory
producing Goodyear or Dunlop tires, nor will it adjust any tire that has
failed as a result of adding such material.
• Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condition of the vehicle,
improper inflation, overloading, high speed spin-up, misapplication,
misuse, negligence, racing, use of tire chains, improper mounting or
demounting, improper repair, wreck, collision or fire.
17
• Road hazards (includes, but not limited to, punctures, cuts, snags,
impact breaks, etc.).
• Any tire that, after leaving a factory producing Goodyear or Dunlop
tires, has been intentionally altered to change its appearance (e.g.,
white inlay on a black tire or regrooved).
• Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased more than four (4)
years prior to presentation for adjustment or, if purchase date cannot
be verified, manufactured more than four years prior to presentation
for adjustment.
• Temporary spare tires used on vehicles used in racing and on
passenger cars in special applications such as police pursuit service.
• Goodyear Unisteel Commercial Radial Light Truck Tires
• Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use, incidental or
consequential damages.
• Tires supplied as Original Equipment are not eligible for any tread life
warranty consideration.
• Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?

No representative or dealer has authority to make any representation,

promise, or agreement on behalf of Goodyear or Dunlop except as stated
herein.

Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in service or

otherwise become unserviceable due to conditions beyond the control of
the manufacturer. Under no circumstances is this warranty a
representation that a tire failure cannot occur.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other
rights that vary from state to state or province to province.

18
DISCLAIMER: THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF, AND GOODYEAR
HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NO OTHER WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY GOODYEAR OR SHALL
BE IMPLIED BY LAW.

LIMITATION OF DAMAGES: IN NO EVENT AND UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL GOODYEAR BE LIABLE TO THE BUYER FOR
ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST
PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION,
PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGE, COST (INCLUDING FOR
REPLACEMENT TRANSPORTATION), EXPENSE OR LOSS OF ANY
KIND. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
HOW DO YOU OBTAIN AN ADJUSTMENT?
A. You must present the tire to be adjusted to an authorized Goodyear
or Dunlop service facility. Tires replaced on an adjustment basis

SAFETY MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

Read the Tire Safety Information section in this guide, the information on
the sidewall of your tires, your vehicle’s owner manual and vehicle tire
information placard for essential safety and maintenance information.
TIRE SERVICE LIFE

Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands of miles of

excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires must be maintained
properly to avoid tire damage that may result in removal from service
before the tread is worn down to minimum depth.

It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of any specific tire
in chronological time since service conditions vary widely. The
serviceability of a tire over time is a function of the storage and service
conditions (inflation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely soley on the
appearance of the tire, but should be aware of any change in dynamic
performance such as increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could
be a sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have tires,
including spares, inspected regularly (at least monthly) for proper
inflation pressure, damage and treadwear.

32
Safety Maintenance Information

Improper tire mounting and inflation and overloading may cause

serious injury or property damage. Maxxis recommends that you
read and follow all safety information contained in the tire safety
information section of this booklet, vehicle placard in the Vehicle
and/or the Vehicle Owner’s Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following:
• Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an accurate
tire air pressure gauge. Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot.
Proper inflation is essential. Under inflation produces flexing of the
sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that premature tire failure
may occur. Over inflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to
impact damage.
• Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and maximum
inflation pressure are molded into the sidewall of your tire.
Overloading builds up excessive heat and can lead to early tire failure.
• Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and curbs)
which may cause internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has
suffered internal damage, which may not be visible externally, can lead
to dangerous tire failure. Determination of internal damage will require
dismounting of the tire and examination by trained tire personnel.
• Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause the tire
beads to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on
the rim. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads. Do not
exceed the maximum recommended pressure to seat the beads. Only
trained tire personnel should mount tires.
• Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32nd inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth)
increases the probability of tire failure.
• Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire
failure.
• Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
(8,000 to 12,000 kilometers).

33
• The Maxxis brand temporary spare tire weighs less than a
conventional radial tire. The temporary tire should be used only in
emergencies and returned to the trunk as soon as it is convenient to
have your standard tire repaired or replaced.

ABOUT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY

As the original purchaser of a Michelin威 passenger or light truck tire, you

are covered by all the benefits and conditions (subject to the
maintenance recommendations and safety warnings) contained in this
booklet. To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the terms
and conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully. It is essential
that you also read and understand the safety and maintenance
recommendations for tires contained in this booklet.

Definitions

The ⬙legal life of the tire⬙ is six years from the date of purchase or the
life of the ⬙usable tread,⬙ which is defined as the original tread worn
down to the level of the treadwear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6 mm) of tread remaining, whichever occurs first. The date of
purchase is documented by a new vehicle registration or tire sales
invoice. If no proof of purchase is available, the date of manufacture, as
molded on the sidewall, will be used.

Uneven wear is defined as a tread groove difference of 2/32nds of an

inch or more on the same tire.

WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG

Workmanship and Materials

Michelin威 passenger and light truck tires, used in normal service on the
vehicle on which they were originally fitted and in accordance with the
maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in this
warranty guide and your vehicle’s owner guide, are covered by this
limited warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for the
life of the original usable tread, or six years from date of purchase,
whichever comes first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied,
expire. Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms and
conditions described under “How Replacement Charges are Calculated”.
35
Treadwear - For Tires with Mileage Warranty Coverage
Some Michelin威 passenger tires are covered by a manufacturer’s limited
warranty for treadwear. These tires (hereafter referred to as ⬙mileage
tires⬙) have mileage coverage as follows:

Tread Design Warranted Miles

HydroEdgeTM 90,000 miles
HarmonyTM 80,000 miles
Symmetry威 65,000 miles
Cross TerrainTM SUV 1, 3 65,000 miles
PrimacyTM MXV4威 60,000 miles
Pilot Exalto A/S 2 45,000 miles
1.
Applies to tires sold on or after March 1, 2002;
2.
Applies to tires sold on or after June 1, 2005;
3.
Does not apply to H Rated Tires.
No tire manufacturer can guarantee you a certain number of miles from
a given tire. Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and
vehicle maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a tire
does not reach the warranted mileage, and the owner of the tires has
complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty, Michelin威 will
replace the tires as follows.
If, as indicated by your new tire invoice, your Michelin威 mileage tires
wear evenly across the tread, down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nds
of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining) before providing the warranted
miles of service as indicated by the properly functioning vehicle
odometer, they will be replaced with comparable new Michelin威
passenger tires for a pro rata charge based on mileage received. The
mileage received will be based on the current vehicle mileage on the
odometer compared to the vehicle mileage at the time of new tire
installation, which must be listed on the new tire invoice and the Original
Owner/Tire Installation Information record.
Tires which wear out evenly before delivering the warranted mileage will
be replaced on a pro rata basis only if:
1) You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own the vehicle on
which they were originally installed, and the tires have been used
only on that vehicle;
36
 2) The tires have been rotated and inspected by a participating
Michelin威 tire retailer every 7,500 miles, and the attached Mounting
and Rotation Service Record has been fully completed and signed;

3) The completed Service Record form, Original Owner/Tire Installation

Information form, and the Original Invoice are presented to a
participating Michelin威 tire retailer at the time of adjustment claim;
and

4) The tires have not become unserviceable due to a condition listed

under WHAT IS NOT COVERED.
Temporary Spares

Michelin威 temporary spare tires are covered by this warranty for 6 years
from the date of purchase or until the first 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm)
of the original tread is worn off. Date of purchase is documented by new
vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is
available, coverage will be based on date of manufacture. At that time, all
warranties, express or implied, expire.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, or
puncture);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper
repair;
• Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation,
overinflation or other abuse;
• Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in
the vehicle such as wheel misalignment, (a measured tread difference
of 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire);
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
• Use in commercial applications for treadwear; by this warranty for
6 years;
• Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brakelock;

37
• The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air,
nitrogen or carbon dioxide (for example, waterbase sealers or
balancing substances);
• Ozone or weather checking.

Tires branded ⬙Blemished⬙ or ⬙BLEM⬙ are not adjustable for appearance

conditions.

HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED

Passenger and Light Truck Tires

A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new Michelin威 tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less, whichever
is more beneficial to the user) and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. Mounting and balancing of the tire is included. You pay the
cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of original tread has been
worn (or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to the user) or
after 12 months from date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a
comparable new Michelin威 passenger or light truck replacement tire on a
pro rata basis. The retailer will determine the charge by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread worn, by the current selling price
at the adjustment location or the price in the current Michelin威 Base
Price List, whichever is lower.

Treadwear

A tire meeting the conditions for pro rata replacement, which wears
evenly across the tread, down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nds of an
inch (1.6 mm) tread remaining) within 6 years of the date of purchase,
and before delivering the warranted miles of service, will be replaced
with a comparable new Michelin威 tire based on mileage received. The
participating Michelin威 tire retailer will determine the charge by
multiplying the percent of mileage received by the current actual selling
price at the adjustment location or the price of the tire in the current
Michelin威 Base Price List, whichever is lower. This list is based on a

 PIRELLI TIRE NORTH AMERICA
Original Equipment Limited Warranty

PIRELLI威 ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT

PASSENGER & Light Truck TIRE
LIMITED WARRANTY

What Is Warranted And Who Is Eligible Under The Warranty?

Pirelli Tire North America (PTNA), 100 Pirelli Drive, Rome, Georgia
30162-7000, warrants to the original purchaser (owner) of any passenger
car and/or light truck sold in the United States and Canada on which
Pirelli Passenger Car Radial or Light Truck Radial Tires with a complete
D.O.T. identification number and branded Pirelli, are provided as original
equipment, that the tires will be free from anomalies in workmanship and
materials.

What Is The Adjustment Policy And For How Long?

If a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or material

anomalies during the initial warranty period, which is one year from the
date of original retail purchase (purchase receipt required) of the vehicle
or the first 2/32⬙ of the original tread, whichever occurs first, the tire will
be replaced to the owner at no charge for the tire.

If tire is presented for ride related claims the initial warranty period is one
year from the date of original retail purchase of the vehicle or within the
first 2/32nd of the original useable tread, whichever occurs first.

The owner must pay for any associated service charges, including
mounting and balancing of the tire in both of the aforementioned cases.

After the initial warranty period, if a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable

due to workmanship or material anomalies, the owner must pay the cost
for a new Pirelli replacement tire on a pro-rata basis. The authorized
Pirelli dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the percentage of the
original usable tread worn by the current dealer selling price. The owner
must pay for any associated service charges, including mounting and
balancing of the tire.
44
A tire has delivered its original usable tread and its warranty ends when
at least one of the treadwear indicators becomes visible regardless of age
or mileage.
To maintain proper vehicle dynamics and load carrying capacity,
replacement tires must always have a Load Index and Speed Rating
equal to or greater than those fitted as Original Equipment. Pirelli does
not recommend, endorse, or encourage in any way a reduction in speed
ratings or load indexes under any circumstance.
When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is homogeneously fitted
(four tires the same tire size), fit the new tires on the rear axle. This
applies to all vehicles regardless of their drive axle. (Front or Rear Wheel
Drive). Remember on all wheel drive vehicles the tires must always be
replaced in sets of four.

When replacing tires on Light Truck Vehicles, always follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendations.

What Is Not Covered By The Warranty?

• P-Metric tires used on commercial vehicles or used in commercial
applications
• Summer tires used at or below 45°F, (7°C) ambient temperature.

presentation for adjustment.)
45
• Tire unserviceability caused by tire operation in excess of tire/wheel
manufacturers’ specifications and recommendations.
• Ride related complaints after the first 2/32⬙ of treadwear.
• Tires which are mis-applied due to insufficient speed rating, or
undersized, or oversized tires.
• Tires which become unserviceable because of a mechanical irregularity
in the vehicle such as misalignment, defective brakes, defective shock
absorbers, or improper rims.
• Tires damaged by fire, chemical corrosion, vandalism, wrecks, chains,
theft, run while flat, underinflated, overinflated, or abused during
servicing. Tires affected by Flat Spotting caused by improper transport
or storage.

manual for further information.

Tread Puncture Limited Warranty

Uniroyal威 Tiger Paw tires with NailGardTM are covered by the Tread
Puncture Replacement Plan. The terms and conditions for this plan are
contained in the ⬙Tread Puncture Limited Warranty⬙ section below.
48
Temporary Spares

Uniroyal威 temporary spare tires are covered by this limited warranty for
6 years from date of purchase or until the first 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6 mm) of the original tread is worn off. At that time, all warranties,
express or implied expire. Date of purchase is documented by new
vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is
available, coverage will be based on the date of manufacture.
Tread Puncture Limited Warranty

Uniroyal威 Tiger Paw tires with NailGardTM (including Royal Seal tires)
have a sealant material covering the inner liner at the tread area. This
sealant is designed to seal punctures to the tread that are 3/16ths of an

air. If your Uniroyal威 sealant tire does not seal a puncture during the
legal life of the tire, Uniroyal威 will replace the tire free of charge,
mounting and balancing included.

UNIROYAL威 OFFERS THIS TREAD PUNCTURE REPLACEMENT PLAN

SOLELY AS A CONVENIENCE TO ITS CUSTOMERS. UNIROYAL威
MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR PROMISE THAT UNIROYAL威 TIRES
WITH NAILGARDTM WILL SEAL TREAD PUNCTURES GREATER THAN
3/16⬙ IN DIAMETER.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
- Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or
puncture, whether repairable or not). (Excluding tires with NailGardTM
that are covered by the Tread Puncture Warranty);
- Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair;
- Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation,
overinflation, or other abuse;
- Uneven or rapid wear caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle
such as wheel misalignment (measured tread depth differences of
2/32nds of an inch or more on the same tire);
- Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism;
- Flat spotting caused by improper storage;

49
- The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air,
nitrogen or carbon dioxide (for example, waterbased sealers or
balancing substances);
- Ozone or weather checking.
HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new UNIROYAL威 tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less,
whichever is more beneficial to the user) and within 12 months of the
date of purchase. Mounting and balancing of the tire is included. You
pay the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes.
If a UNIROYAL威 Royal Seal tire or a UNIROYAL威 Tiger Paw tire with
NailGardTM becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by the
workmanship and materials limited warranty, it will be replaced with a
new, comparable UNIROYAL威 Brand tire at no charge, during the first
24 months after the date of purchase or the first 30% of treadwear,
whichever comes first. The cost of mounting and balancing the tires is
included. You pay the cost of any other service charges or
applicable taxes. When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread
has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to the
user) or after 12 months from date of purchase, (30% or 24 months for
Tiger Paw Tires with NailGardTM and Royal Seal Tires), the user must
pay the cost of a comparable new Uniroyal Brand passenger or light
truck replacement tire on a pro rata basis. The retailer shall determine
the charge by multiplying the percentage of tread worn by the current
actual selling price of the new tire at the adjustment location or by the
price in the current UNIROYAL威 Base Price List*, whichever is lower.
This adjustment price is based on a predetermined price intended to
fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire. You pay the cost of
mounting, balancing, and any other service charges and applicable
taxes. * In Canada, the replacement will be based on the “current
adjustment price for the new tire”.
UNIROYAL姞 Temporary Spare Tires
A UNIROYAL威 Temporary Spare used in temporary service on the
vehicle in which it was originally installed, which becomes unserviceable
50
due to a condition covered by this limited warranty, will be replaced with
a comparable new UNIROYAL威 Temporary Spare tire, free of charge,
when it is worn less than 1/32nd (0.8 mm) of an inch. The cost of
mounting and balancing is included. You pay the cost of any other
service charges and applicable taxes. When 1/32nd (0.8 mm) of the
original tread has been worn, but less than 2/32nds (1.6 mm), the tire
will be replaced at 50% according to the current actual selling price at
the adjustment location. You pay the cost of mounting and balancing
and any other service charges and applicable taxes.

======================================================
SAFETY WARNING
DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN TIRE
FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any under inflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in
sudden tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer
to the tire decal on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle owner’s
manual for decal location) for the recommended operating pressures. For
replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be provided by your
tire retailer; if not, refer to the vehicle decal.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However,
do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire
sidewall.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURES IN ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle
handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire
destruction, loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury. Therefore,
inflation pressures should be checked at least once each month and
always prior to long distance trips. This applies to all tires, including
self-sealant types, self-supporting runflat types and other extended
mobility tires, which are as susceptible to losing air pressure as any other
type of tire, if not properly maintained.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold, in other words, before
they have been driven on. Driving, even for a short distance, causes tires
to heat up and air pressure to increase.
Checking pressure when tires are hot:
If pressures are checked after tires have been driven for more than three
minutes or more than one mile, (2 km) the tires become hot and the
pressures will increase by approximately 4 psi. Therefore when the tire
53
pressure is adjusted under these conditions, it should be increased to a
gauge reading of 4 psi greater than the recommended cold inflation
pressure.
For Example Only:

Gauge reading of hot tire:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32 psi (220 kPa)

If recommended, cold inflation pressure is: . . . . 30 psi (205 kPa)
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4 psi = 34 psi
(205 + 30 = 235 kPa)
Therefore: add 2 psi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (15 kPa)

Check cold pressure as soon as possible, preferably within

24 hours. “Bleeding” air from hot tires could result in under
inflation. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never
allow children to inflate or deflate tires. Always make certain
valve caps are installed on all tire valves to keep out dirt and
moisture.
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on the
speedometer. 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 engage
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. 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.
54
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.

SPEED RATINGS

Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some tires. The following
table shows the maximum speed corresponding to the symbol.

*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than
149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your tire retailer for maximum speed
rating if your vehicle capability exceeds this speed.

**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to use on cars with maximum speed
capabilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h). (W and Y speed ratings are
sub-categories of Z).

Consult your tire retailer for maximum speed capabilities.

Although a tire may be speed-rated, we do not endorse the operation of

any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings are based on
laboratory tests which relate to performance on the road, but are not
applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged,
altered, improperly repaired, or retreaded. Furthermore, a tire’s speed
rating does not imply that vehicles can be safely driven at the maximum
speed for which the tire is rated, particularly under adverse road and
weather conditions or if the vehicle has unusual characteristics.

Highway passenger tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall
have a maximum speed rating of 105 mph (170 kph). Light truck
highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of the tire
have a maximum speed rating of 87 mph (140 kph).
55
The speed and other ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the
retreader and replace the original manufacturer’s ratings.

IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle,

replacement tires must have speed ratings equal to or higher than those
fitted as original equipment (as indicated on the vehicle tire placard or
owner’s manual). If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehicle’s
handling may be affected and the speed capability of the vehicle will be
lowered to the maximum speed capability of the replacement tires as
indicated in the table below.

REMEMBER... High speed driving can be dangerous and may damage

your tires. AND... When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation
pressure is especially important.

56
INSPECT YOUR TIRES, DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED TIRE OR
WHEEL
HAZARDS
Objects in the road, such as potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood, debris
and the like, can damage a tire and should be safely avoided.
Unavoidable contact with such objects should prompt a thorough tire
inspection. Anytime you see any damage to your tires or wheels, replace
with the spare at once and immediately visit a tire retailer.
INSPECTION
When inspecting your tires, including the spare, check the air pressures.
If the pressure check indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of
two pounds or more, look for signs of penetration, valve leakage or wheel
damage that may account for the air loss. A tire damaged by a road
hazard may appear undamaged to you on the outside of the tire. If you
suspect your tire may be damaged from striking a road hazard (even
when no damage is apparent) have the tire inspected by a tire retailer at
once.
Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations and abnormal
tire wear, particularly on the edges of the tire tread, which may
be caused by misalignment or underinflation. If any such damage
is found, the tire must be inspected by a tire retailer at once. Use
of a damaged tire could result in tire destruction.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as
hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads
which are in poor condition, and off road use. Roads with holes and
rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of your
vehicle. When driving on such roads, drive carefully and slowly, and
before driving again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for
any damage, such as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual wear patterns,
etc.
TIRE TREADWEAR INDICATORS ⴖWEAR BARSⴖ
Most tires contain wear indicators ⬙Wear Bars⬙ in the grooves of the tire
tread which show up when only 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread is
remaining. At this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond
this stage are extremely dangerous.
57
WARNING: Age

Tires degrade over time depending on many factors such as

weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed,
inflation pressure, etc.) the tires experience throughout their
lives. In general, tires should be replaced after six years
regardless of tread wear. However, heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process
and may require tires to be replaced more frequently.

You should replace your spare tire when you replace the road
tires or after six years due to aging even if it has not been used.
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.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit a tire retailer for advice
concerning the correct size tire and pressures. Tire size and pressures
will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch utilized, but in no
case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or tire load rating be
exceeded. Check the tire decal and the owner’s manual supplied by the
manufacturer of your vehicle for further recommendations on trailer
towing.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR
SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE EACH
MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These
58
conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the
handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If you
detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance
checked immediately. Tires which have been run underinflated will show
more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread.

TIRE MIXING

For best performance it is recommended that the same size and type of
tire be used on all four wheel positions. Before mixing tires of different
types in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle
manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for its recommendations.

It is especially important to check the vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s

manual when mixing, matching, or replacing tires on 4-wheel drive
vehicles, as this may require special precautions.

NOTE: Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)

definition of snow tires are marked M/S, M+S or M&S. On such tires, this
designation is molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are
not recommended for winter driving.

Tires designated for use in severe winter conditions are marked

on at least one sidewall with the letters ‘‘M” and ‘‘S” plus a
pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on it. It is
recommended that winter tires be applied to all four wheel
positions. Failure to do so may negatively affect vehicle
handling.

TIRE ROTATION

To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires.

Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for instructions on tire rotation.

59
Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel. A
dissimilar spare tire/wheel is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that is
different in brand, size or appearance from the road tires and wheels. If
you have a dissimilar spare tire/wheel it is intended for temporary use
only and should not be used in a tire rotation.
Note: After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked
and adjusted to the vehicle requirements.
Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should be
rotated at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the
next recommended rotation interval for your vehicle. This is true for all
vehicles. When rotating tires with a directional tread pattern, observe the
arrows molded on the sidewall which show the direction the tire should
turn. Care must be taken to maintain the proper turning direction. As a
general rule, whenever only two tires are replaced, the new ones should
be put on the rear.
CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, OR SUSPENSION ON SUVS
AND LIGHT TRUCKS
Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as
SUVs and light trucks do not have the same handling characteristics as
automobiles. Because of these differing characteristics, failure to operate
your SUV/truck in a proper and safe manner can increase the likelihood
of vehicle rollover. Modifications to your SUV/truck tire size, tire type,
wheels or suspension can change its handling characteristics and further
increase the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Whether your SUV/truck has
the original equipment configuration for tires, wheels and suspension or
whether any of these items have been modified, always drive safely,
avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes and obey all traffic laws.
Failure to do so may result in loss of vehicle control leading to an
accident and serious injury or death.
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.
60
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 Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) 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.

FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Tire changing can be dangerous and must be done by

professionally trained persons using proper tools and procedures
as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA).
Single or dual assemblies must be completely deflated before
demounting.

Your tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and type and
which are in good, clean condition. Wheels that are bent, chipped, rusted
(steel wheels) or corroded (alloy wheels) may cause tire damage. The
inside of the tire must be free from foreign material. Have your retailer
check the wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and rims
can explode during mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can result
in dangerous tire failure on the road. If a tire is mounted by error on the
wrong-sized rim, do not remount it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may
have been damaged internally (which is not externally visible) by having
been dangerously stretched and could fail on the highway.

Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have
new valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires must only
be mounted on wheels designed for tubeless tires i.e., wheels
which have safety humps or ledges.

It is recommended that you have your tires and wheels balanced. Tires
and wheels, which are not balanced, may cause steering difficulties, a
bumpy ride, and irregular tire wear.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. The valve
cap is the primary seal against air loss.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s instructions.

62
REMEMBER... TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES AND
POSSIBLE ACCIDENT:
• CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH WHEN
TIRES ARE COLD AND BEFORE LONG TRIPS.
• DO NOT UNDERINFLATE/OVERINFLATE.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD.
• DRIVE AT MODERATE SPEEDS, OBSERVE LEGAL LIMITS.
• AVOID DRIVING OVER POTHOLES, OBSTACLES, CURBS OR EDGES
OF PAVEMENT.
• AVOID EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.
• IF YOU SEE ANY DAMAGE TO A TIRE, REPLACE WITH THE SPARE
AND VISIT ANY AUTHORIZED RETAILER AT ONCE.
• IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED
RETAILER.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE RECOMMENDED
PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL CAN
LEAD TO ERRATIC VEHICLE BEHAVIOR AND/OR TIRE DAMAGE,
POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
If you see any damage to your tires or wheels, contact your local
authorized tire retailer or Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealer.

Warning: For safety and good performance, you must take care of
your tires.
