DO NOT OVERLOAD -DRIVING ONANY OVERLOADED TIREIS
DANGEROUS
36

Page 38 of 270

The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall. Do
not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions of the manufac-
turer 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 any BFGoodrich® 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 recommenda-
tions 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
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
BFGoodrich® tires are radial tires and for best performance it is recom-
mended 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.

ROTATION AND WEAR
Falken recommends rotating your tires at least every 8,000 km (5,000
miles) and periodically inspecting your tires to make sure they are free of
road hazards (such as nails, screws, large wood splinters, etc.) that might
penetrate your tires causing them to lose air pressure and to ensure they
are wearing evenly. Common irregular wear patterns are: misalignment
wear, where the tire shows excessive outer or inner tread wear. Tire
sidewalls should also be inspected for cuts, snags, bruises, and weather
cracking. If any of these noted conditions are present during inspection,
we recommend returning to your servicing tire dealer to be corrected to
ensure long tire life.***Never include a temporary spare tire in your
rotation pattern***
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Falken recommends replacing your tires when the tread wears down to
the wear bars at 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch), which are located across the
tread in several locations around the tire. If only two tires are being
replaced, the two new tires should always be installed on the rear of the
vehicle to aid in preventing your vehicle from hydroplaning, even if your
car is front wheel drive. It’s always recommended to have your new tires
balanced during installation, and alignment checked if the previous tires
show and irregular wear. Tires that have been in use for 5 (five) years or
more should continue to be inspected by a qualified tire specialist, at least
annually. It is recommended that any tires 10 (ten) years old or older from
the date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires
as a precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have
not reached the legal worn out limit at 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch).

NOTE:
Goodyearmanufactured and/ormarketed European- Metric
passenger tiresandP-Metric passenger tiresareinterchangeable aslong
as they have thesame section width,sameaspect ratio,samerim
diameter.
CAUTION!
Never substitute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire for an Extra Load (XL)
or Reinforced tire. If the vehicle was originally equipped with
“Extra Load” (XL) or Reinforced tires, replace those tires with
similar-sized Extra Load (XL) or Reinforced tires.
GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
Wheninstalling onlytwotires, fitthe tires with thedeepest treaddepth
on the rear axle. Ifradials andnon-radials mustbefitted tothe same
vehicle, fitradials onrear axle. Never mixradials andnon-radials onthe
same axle.When fitting tires orall-season tiresto
performance vehicles, alwaysfitinsets offour. Itis not recommended
to
fit tires with different speedratings. Iftires with different speedratings
are installed onavehicle, theyshould beinstalled withlikepairs on
the same axle.
The speed capability ofthe vehicle willbecome limitedtothat of the

Use oflift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations cancause instability.
When changing tiresizes,

 always consult Dealerforoptimum rimwidth
and carefully checkvehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passengerandlight truck tiresarenot warranted byGoodyear
for any reason. Speedratings andU.S. Department ofTransportation test
