You should have complete confidence in your new BFGoodrich tires. Still
it’s important to register your tires in the event that we need to contact
you. For online tire registration, visit

WARNING!
DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND/OR INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY
RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
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. Tire 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 recommends 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 tires. If one or more 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.
•Under-inflation causes excessive tire heat build-up and internal
structural damage.
•Over-inflation makes it more likely for tires to be cut, punctured,
or broken by sudden impact.

2. If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a result of defect in materials
and/or workmanship during the first 50% of usable treadwear, the tire
will be replaced with a new, comparable tire at no charge including
mounting charge. No adjustment will be made for tires that are worn
more than 50%.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
NON ADJUSTABLE CONDITIONS
1. Irregular wear or tire damage due to:
•Road hazards such as punctures, cuts, snags, scuffs, carcass bruises
or impact breaks.
•Fire, wreck or collision
•Improper inflation, overloading, high speed spinning, improper
mounting or demounting, running flat, off-road use, racing, vandal-
ism, willful damage or abuse.
•Misalignment, wheel imbalance, defective brakes or shock absorber,
use of tire chains.
•Any tire which has failed as a result of adding materials (e.g. tire
fillers, sealant, or balancing substances).
•Mechanical failure or design of vehicle.
2. Tires fitted to anything other than the original vehicles.
3. Tire worn beyond tread wear indicator (2/32 nds inch or 1.6 mm tread
remaining).
4. Tire presented by other than the actual owner-user.

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 most 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 tires. If one or more looks flat or low, shows
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.
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.
SELF-SUPPORTING TIRES. ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES, AND PAX
SYSTEM TIRES, AT LOW OR ZERO AIR PRESSURE
The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated PAX System tire
or Self- Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire (whether front or rear) are not
the same as those of a vehicle with normally inflated tires. Avoid high
speeds and hard cornering whenever a low pressure warning is acti-
vated.
