exceedXXXkgorXXX lbs”onthe Ti re and Loading Information placard.
The combined weightofoccupants, cargo/luggage andtrailer tongue
weight (ifapplicable) shouldneverexceed theweight referenced here.
StepsForDetermining CorrectLoadLimit
ûWü Locate thestatement “Thecombined weightofoccupants and
cargo should neverexceed XXXkgorXXX lbs.” onyour vehicle’s
placard.
ûXü Determine thecombined weightofthe driver andpassengers that
will beriding inyour vehicle.
ûYü Subtract thecombined weightofthe driver andpassengers from
XXX kgorXXX lbs.
ûZü The resulting figureequals theavailable amountofcargo and
luggage loadcapacity
.For example, if

 “XXX” amount equals1400lbs
and there willbefive 150lbpassengers inyour vehicle, theamount
of available cargoandluggage loadcapacity is650 lbs. (1400-750
(5x150) = 650 lbs.
û[ü Determine thecombined weightofluggage andcargo being
loaded onthe vehicle. Thatweight maynotsafely exceed the
available cargoandluggage loadcapacity calculated inStep 4.
û\ü Ifyour vehicle willbetowing atrailer, loadfromyour

trailer will
be transferred toyour vehicle. Consultthis manual todetermine how
this reduces theavailable cargoandluggage loadcapacity ofyour
vehicle.
Metric Example ForLoad Limit
For example, if“XXX” amount equals635kgand there willbefive 68kg
passengers inyour vehicle, theamount ofavailable cargoandluggage
load capacity is295 kg(635-340 (5x68)=295 kg)asshown instep 4.

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.

TIPS FOR SAFE LOADING
WARNING!
Driving your vehicle in an overloaded condition is dangerous.
Overloading causes excessive tire heat build-up and internal
structural damage. This can cause a tire failure, even at a later date,
which could lead to serious personal injury or death. Consult the
vehicle tire information placard, certification label, and owner ’s
manual for the recommended vehicle load limits and loading
recommendations.
• Always keep the vehicle manufacturer ’s recommended inflation pres-
sure in all your tires, including the spare. Check their pressure monthly
and before long trips or carrying extra weight.
• Never exceed the maximum load rating stamped on the sidewall of
your tire.
• Never exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or front/rear
gross axle weight ratings (GAWR) of your vehicle.
• Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual for load recommendations and
special instructions (such as for trailer/towing and snow plow
installations).
TIRE DAMAGE, INSPECTION AND SERVICE LIFE
Evaluation and maintenance of your tires is important to their perfor-
mance and the service they provide to you. Over time and/or through
use, the condition of a tire can change from exposure to everyday road
conditions, the environment, damaging events such as punctures, and
other external factors.
WARNING!
Driving on damaged tires is dangerous. A damaged tire can
suddenly fail causing serious personal injury or death. Have your
tires regularly inspected by a qualified tire service professional.
You should visually inspect your tires on a regular basis throughout their
life, and you should have your tires periodically evaluated by a qualified
tire service professional when your vehicle is serviced such as routine

•If an unusual vibration or vehicle handling difficulty arises, stop
driving as soon as safely and reasonably possible. The tire may be
about to suddenly fail. Release the accelerator and gradually reduce
speed. The tire will need to be replaced before proceeding.
• If towing a trailer, stop driving as soon as safely and reasonably
possible. In this condition, it is potentially dangerous to operate a
vehicle/trailer combination. If possible, disconnect the trailer and
proceed as noted above. Do not continue to tow any trailer until proper
tire service or replacement has been performed.
• Do not touch a tire recently run-low or run-flat (it may be very hot).
Allow the tire to cool before handling.
DISTANCE—HOW FAR YOU CAN DRIVE
Factors affecting run-flat or low tire pressure operating distance include
vehicle speed, load, and maneuvering; the amount of inflation pressure
loss; the extent of any tire damage; and ambient temperature.
The tire may be marked on the sidewall with run-flat or low tire pressure
operating speed and/or distance limitations, which vary by tire design
and vehicle application (consult your vehicle owner ’s manual). By
international standard, RFT tires have a baseline limitation in run-flat
mode of the following:
Maximum Speed: 50 mph (80 km/h)
Maximum Distance: 50 miles (80 km)
NOTE:
•Maximum distance values are determined under controlled condi-
tions, which may vary in actual use.
• Your mileage capability may be less, or more, depending on your
specific operating conditions.
• If in doubt, do not exceed the 50 mile (80 km) limitation.
• Seek tire service as soon as possible to minimize tire damage.

6. SAFETY WARNING:
Ignoring any of the safety and information contained in this
warranty may result in tire failure, causing serious injury or death.
• Tire failure due to underinflation /overloading. Follow vehicle
owner ’s manual or tire placard in vehicle for proper inflation and
loading.
• Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper tire mounting. Ti re
mounting / demounting can be dangerous. It should be performed
only by a trained tire specialist using proper tools and procedures.
Prior to tire mounting/demounting, the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) wall charts and manuals should be read to obtain
the proper procedures. The failure to follow these procedures may
result in faulty positioning of the tire and/or rim, which may cause
the assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause injury or death.
• Tire failure due to damage. Inspect your tires frequently for scrapes,
bulges, separations, cuts, snags and other damage from road haz-
ards. Damage from impact can occur to the inner portions of your
tire without being visible to the outside. If you suspect a tire has been
damaged from striking anything unusual in the road, you must have
the tire removed from the rim and inspected both inside and out by
a trained tire specialist. Air loss or unusual tire wear can also be
warning signs that a tire may have internal damage. If you notice
these conditions, have your tire inspected by a trained individual.
• Tire failure due to excessive tire spinning. Avoid tire spinning. The
centrifugal force generated by a free-spinning tire/rim assembly
may cause a sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage
and/or serious injury or death. Never exceed 35 mph (55km/h) as
indicated on your speedometer when your vehicle is stuck in snow,

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 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

tions on trailer towing.
MICHELIN® PAX® System Tires/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP)
Tires and Trailer Towing
Operation of Pax or ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in
tow, is dangerous and is not recommended. If the low pressure warning
indicator is activated when a trailer is in tow, stop, disconnect the trailer,
and do not continue to tow the trailer until the tire has been repaired and
re-inflated to the proper air pressure. If the tire cannot be repaired, it must
be replaced with a new full size, PAX/ZP tire, and inflated to the proper
air pressure, before the trailer can be safely towed again.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR
SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
•Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation or
over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
• Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
the sidewall of the tire.
• Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
• Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
when 2/32 of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
• Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
separations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount
a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and contact your
local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
• Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum
speed justified by driving conditions.
• To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is required.
