AND/OR INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY
RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
BFGOODRICH TIRES
TIRE DISABLEMENT SAFETY WARNING
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, impact
damage, improper inflation, overloading or other conditions resulting
from use or misuse. Ti re failures, such as a rapid air loss or a tread and
belt detachment, may increase risk of injury or death and/or property
damage. To reduce the risk of a tire failure, BFGoodrich r
ecommends you
thoroughly read and follow the recommendations in this BFGoodrich
Limited Warranty/Owner ’s Manual, the vehicle owner ’s manual, tire
placard information, and tire sidewall information regarding safety
warnings, proper tire use and maintenance.
CONTROLLABILITY
CONTROLLING A VEHICLE WHEN A TIRE FAILURE OCCURS
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, and/or
the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire. If possible, step on
the accelerator momentarily to maintain forward momentum and ensure
vehicle control.
It is important that you DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE
STEERING WHEEL.
Slowly
remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the steering wheel
firmly while steering to remain in your lane. Once the vehicle has slowed
and is fully under control, apply the brakes gently
safely pull over to the
shoulder and come to a stop. Inspect the tir
es. If one or mor
e tires look
flat or low, show detachment or other damage, remove tire assembly and
replace it with a properly inflated spare. Bumps or bulges may indicate
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified tire
technician.

TIRE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING
WARNING!
It is not often that a properly maintained tire will “blow out” while
you are driving. More commonly, if inflation pressure is lost, it will
be gradual. If you do experience a blowout or sudden tire failure,
the following information should be helpful:
•When the failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a
vibration, and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed
tire.
• DO NOT abruptly brake or turn.
• Slowly remove your foot from the accelerator, hold the steering
wheel firmly, and steer to maintain your lane position.
• Once the vehicle has slowed, apply the brakes gently.
• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop, as far off
the road as possible.
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tires need proper inflation pressure to operate effectively and perform as
intended. Tires carry the vehicle, passenger, and cargo loads and transmit
the braking, acceleration, and turning forces. The vehicle manufacturer
recommends the inflation pressures for the tires mounted on your
vehicle.
WARNING!
Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous.
•Underinflation causes excessive tire heat build-up and internal
structural damage.
• 0 W F S J O G M B U J P O makes it more likely for tires to be cut, punctured,
or broken by sudden impact.
