compact spare tire. Do not install more than one compact spare tire and
wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
WARNING!
Compact and collapsible spares are for temporary emergency use
only. With these spares, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
Temporary use spares have limited tread life. When the tread is
worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs
to be replaced. Be sure to follow the warnings, which apply to your
spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure and loss of
vehicle control.

Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only. This tire may
look like the originally equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your
vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have limited tread life. When the
tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use full size
spare tire needs to be replaced. Since it is not the same as your original
equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and
reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. This tire
is identified by a label located on the limited use spare wheel. This label
contains the driving limitations for this spare. This tire may look like the
original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is
not. Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling.
Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or repair)
the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first
opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited use spares are for emergency use only. Installation of this
limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire, do not
drive more than the speed listed on the limited use spare wheel.
Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on your Tire
and Loading Information Placard located on the driver ’s side B-Pillar
or the rear edge of the driver ’s side door. Replace (or repair) the
original equipment tire at the first opportunity and reinstall it on
your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control.

DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any underinflated 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 replace-
ment 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
sealant types, and Self-Supporting tires which are as susceptible to losing
air pressure as any other type of tire if not properly maintained.
UNDERINFLATION
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated by
simply looking at them. It is almost impossible to “feel or hear” when a
tire is being run underinflated or nearly flat. Tires must be checked
monthly with a tire pressure gauge.
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, (1.6 km) the tires become hot and the
pressures will increase by approximately 4 psi. Therefore when the tire
pressure is adjusted under these conditions, it should be increased to a
gauge reading of 4 psi greater than the recommended cold inflation
pressure.
BFGOODRICH TIRES
31

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)
BFGOODRICH TIRES
Check

cold
pressure
as
soon
as
possible,
preferably
within
24
hours.

“Bleeding”
air
from
hot
tires
could
result
in
underinflation.
Use
an

accurate
tire
gauge
to
check
pressures.
Never
allow
children
to
inflate

or
deflate
tires.
TIREPRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM(TPMS):
Your
vehicle
may
be
equipped
with
a
Ti re
Pressure
Monitoring
System

(TPMS)
that
is
designed
to
monitor
the
pressure
of
tires
mounted
on
your

vehicle
and
sends
a
signal
to
the
driver
if
a
tire
pressure
falls
below
a

predetermined
level.
A
TPMS
should
not
replace
monthly
manual

pressure
checks
for
all
four
(4)
tires
and
the
spar
e.
We
recommend
that

you
manually
monitor
and
check
tire
pressure
inflation
with
a
pressure

gauge.
Your
tires
should
have
the
recommended
pressure
listed
by
your

vehicle’s
manufacturer.
This
information
can
be
found
in
the
vehicle

owner ’s
manual
and
often
on
a
placard
located
in
the
vehicle’s
door

jamb,
inside
the
fuel
hatch,
or
on
the
glove
compartment
door.
If
you

have


a
plus
size
fitment
that
requires
a
higher
inflation
pressure,
your
tire

pressure
monitoring
system
will
require
re-calibration
to
the
new
infla-
tion
pressure.
Refer
to
your
tire
dealer/installer
of
plus
size
tires
for

proper
inflation
pressur

e.
We
recommend
checking
air
pressure
once
each
month,
and
before
a
long

trip.
Whether
you
have
a
full-sized
or
mini-spare,
make
sure
that
it
is

properly
inflated
as
well.
If
the
TPMS
generates
improper
monitoring
or

signals
we
recommend
that
you
consult
your
owner ’s
manual
provided

with
your
vehicle
and
follow-up
with
your
vehicle’s
manufacturer.
32

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.
If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with the spare at
once and visit a participating BFGoodrich Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each
type of BFGoodrich 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.
