WHAT NITTO WILL DO
For every Eligible Tire, Nitto will do the following:
Regular OE Tires
1. If less than 25% Worn: Nitto will replace, free of charge, any Eligible
Tire when the original usable tread is worn by 25% or less, and within
5 years from the date you purchased the vehicle new. If you cannot
provide a copy of the new vehicle registration or vehicle purchase
receipt, the manufacture date of the tire, as indicated by the tire DOT
code, will be used instead to determine if a tire is within the warranty
period. Tire mounting and balancing costs are covered by Nitto.Yo u
are responsible for taxes and all other costs, fees and expenses.
2. If more than 25% Worn: Nitto will replace any Eligible Tire when the
original usable tread is worn by more than 25%, and within 5 years
from the date you purchased the vehicle new. If you cannot provide a
copy of the new vehicle registration or vehicle purchase receipt, the
manufacture date of the tire, as indicated by the tire DOT code, will be
used instead to determine if a tire is within the warranty period.Yo u
are responsible for the pro-rated cost of a replacement tire, mount-
ing and balancing costs, taxes and all other costs, fees and expenses.
Theoriginal usable treadis determined by measuring the depth on the
tread of an identical model of a new Nitto brand tire to the top of the
treadwear indicator bars (note: the original usable tread depth will vary
by tire model).

TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY AND TIRE USAGE INFORMATION FOR
NITTO NT05R TIRES ON THE DODGE CHALLENGER SRT DE-
MON.
Your drag radial tires are designed for racing conditions and are not
like ordinary passenger car tires. Follow the instructions on this page
to promote tire safety and to better understand your drag radial tires’
characteristics. To the extent any information on this page differs from
the general tire care information elsewhere in this manual, follow the
instructions on this page for your tires.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPETITION TIRES
The drag radial tires installed on this vehicle are designed for competi-
tion use, and feature a race compound, limited tread grooves, and
shallow tread depth, to provide maximum dry traction. Therefore, these
tires are not recommended for use in wet weather conditions where there
is risk of hydroplaning and loss of vehicle control.
If you encounter wet conditions, do not continue to drive. Carefully
reduce your speed and pull over to a safe area until road conditions
improve. Please see the “Adverse Weather Driving” section for additional
safety information when operating your vehicle in these conditions.
WARNING!
DO NOT DRIVE ON THESE TIRES IN WET WEATHER
CONDITIONS. Your ability to safely maneuver your vehicle in
these conditions is greatly reduced, which may result in a loss of
vehicle control and serious personal injury or death.

TIRE WEAR, INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
The shallow grooves and race compound used in this drag tire are
designed to optimize dry traction. You should expect these tires to have
a much shorter tread life, and to operate for considerably fewer miles,
than ordinary passenger tires. You should check the condition, including
tread depth, of your tires regularly and promptly replace them before the
tread reaches the wear bars. These tires should be inspected after each use
at a track or for competition purposes. Regular inspection becomes
particularly important the longer a tire has been in service. Please see the
“Identifying Damaged Tires” and “Worn Out Tire” sections for additional
information regarding tire inspection and identifying damaged tires.
NO MILEAGE WARRANTY
These tires are not guaranteed to last a specified number of miles.

TIRE HANDLING AND STORAGE IN COLDER CLIMATES
The rubber compounds used in the drag tires have unique properties
that, when compared to other tires, can cause them to lose some of their
flexibility when used or handled in conditions below 15°F (-9°C). This
loss in flexibility can lead to potential cracking and other damage to the
tire. To minimize the chances of this happening, you are advised to follow
these instructions:
1. Do not move or operate the car with these tires in conditions below
15°F (-9°C).
2. Avoid moving these tires in conditions below 15°F (-9°C).
3.
Before mounting and dismounting, store these tires for at least 24 hours
in a temperature-controlled environment of 68°F (20°C) or warmer.
4. Remove these tires from the vehicle and deflate to half the normal
air-pressure during prolonged periods of non-use or storage.
Always inspect tires for signs of cracking and never use tires that have
cracked.
WARNING!
DO NOT DRIVE ON THESE TIRES IN EXTREME COLD WEATHER
CONDITIONS. Driving or moving a vehicle with drag radial tires
installed in conditions below 15°F (-9°C) may cause cracking or other
damage to the tire. This can lead to tire failure, which may result in
loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death.
TIRE STORAGE
When dismounted from the wheel for storage, the drag tires should be
stored indoors in a cool, dry location. The tires should be placed away
from direct sunlight, harmful ozone-producing electric generators and
motors and sources of heat, such as hot pipes. Storage surfaces should be
clean and free of grease, gasoline, or other substances, which can
deteriorate the rubber.
WARNING!
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be
visible and result in tire failure, which may result in loss of vehicle
control, and lead to serious personal injury or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual is not intended to provide proper training or service
procedures for tire mounting, dismounting, balancing, rotation, or
repair. Please leave these tasks to qualified tire service professionals.
mNOTICE!
Nitto brand tires are designed and built with great care. Any tire, no matter
how well constructed, can fail as a result of punctures, impact damage,
underinflation/overloading or other conditions resulting from use. Tire
failures may create a risk of property damage or personal injury. To obtain the
highest possible performance, tires must be maintained properly.
Remember, you are ultimately responsible for the tires installed on your
vehicle.
Important factors in tire care are:
•Proper inflation pressure
•Proper vehicle loading
•Proper vehicle maintenance
•Regular inspection
•Good driving habits
Refer to your vehicle Owner ’s Manual for additional tire safety and
service advice.

TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing 1 psi per month over several months along
with a 1 psi decrease for every 10°F temperature drop could add up to a
severe “run low” condition; consequently, it is important to check your
tires’ inflation pressure at least once per month.
Inflation pressure enables a tire to support its load; therefore, proper
inflation is critical.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated just by
looking at them.
25 PSI

35 PSI

278

It is important to check your tires using an accurate tire pressure gauge,
which can be purchased at your tire dealer or auto supply store.
Underinflation can overload tires. Check the inflation pressure every
month, including for the spare tire, to make sure it’s up to specification.
Check it again before long trips or when carrying extra weight.
Look for the manufacturer ’s recommended inflation pressure listed on
the Tire Information Placard usually located on your vehicle’s door edge,
door post, glove box, or inside the trunk lid.
mNOTICE!
The inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire is not the intended
inflation pressure for the vehicle! Always refer to the vehicle’s Tire
Information Placard.
