BFGOODRICH® TIRES
ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a BFGoodrich® brand passenger or light truck tire, you are
covered by all the benefits and conditions (subject to the maintenance
recommendations and safety warnings) contained in this booklet. To ensure your
understanding of and compliance with the terms and conditions of this warranty, please
read it carefully. It is essential that you also read and understand the safety and
maintenance recommendations for tires contained in this booklet.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
BFGoodrich® brand passenger and light truck tires, used in normal service on the
veh

icle on which they were originally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance
recommendations and safety warnings contained in the attached Owner’s Manual, are
covered by this warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the
original usable tread, or six years from the date of purchase, whichever occurs first. At
that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire. The life of the original usable tread
is the original tread down to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new vehicle
reg

istration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is available, coverage will be
based on the date of manufacture. Replacement will be made in accordance with the
terms and conditions described under “How Replacement Charges are Calculated”.
NOTE:
Your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional tire warranty coverage over and above
wh a

t is provided by BFGoodrich®. Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for further infor -
mation.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires Which Become Unserviceable Due To:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or puncture)
• In

correct mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair
• Mi

sapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, overinflation or other
a b

use
• Operation without a properly functioning low pressure warning system, for Comp T/A® ZR

SSS tires
• Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wh

eel misalignment, a measured tread difference of 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) or
mo r

e across the tread on the same tire
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism
• Fl

at spotting caused by improper storage or brake lock

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 replacement 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
th
e maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURE IN ALL YOUR TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT
LE A

ST ONCE EACH MONTH
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle handling and may
c a

use 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
d r

iven 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
m o

re than 1 mile, (1.6 km) the tires become hot and the pressures will increase by
a p

proximately 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.
Check cold pressure as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours. “Bleeding” air from
h o

t tires could result in underinflation. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pressures.
Never allow children to inflate or deflate tires. 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
25
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire 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 tires and the spare. 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.
Th
is 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 TPMS
will require re-calibration to the new inflation pressure. Refer to your tire dealer/installer
of plus size tires for proper inflation pressure.
We recommend checking air pressure once each month, and before a long trip. Whether
y o

u 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 FCA US LLC.
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on the speedometer.
Ex
cessive 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
w h

eel 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
pa
rticipating BFGoodrich® Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each type of
B F

Goodrich® 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
a n

d driving conditions.

BFGOODRICH® TIRES
27
REMEMBER — High speed driving can be dangerous and may damage your tires. AND —
When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation pressure is especially important.
INSPECT YOUR TIRES, DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL
HAZARDS
Objects in the road, such as potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood, debris and the like, can
d a

mage a tire and should be safely avoided. Unavoidable contact with such objects
should prompt a thorough tire inspection.
Anytime you see any damage to your tires or wheels, replace with the spare at once and
i m

mediately visit any BFGoodrich® tire retailer.
IMPACT DAMAGE
A tire impacted by a road hazard (curb, pothole, debris) may be damaged but not have
visible signs of damage on its surface. A tire damaged by an impact may sustain a
sudden failure a day, week, or even months later. You may not recall hitting an object that
damaged or injured your tires. Air loss, unusual tire wear, localized wear or vibrations can
also be signs of internal tire damage.
If you suspect any damage to your tire or wheel from an impact with a curb, pothole,
de
bris on the road or any other road hazard, or if you feel or hear any unusual vibration,
replace with a properly inflated spare at once and immediately visit any qualified tire
technician.
INSPECTION
When inspecting your tires, including the spare, check the air pressures. If the pressure
c h

eck indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of two pounds or more, look for
signs of penetration, valve leakage or wheel damage that may account for the air loss.
Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations and abnormal tire wear, particularly on
t h

e edges of the tire tread, which may be caused by misalignment or underinflation. If
any such damage is found, the tire must be inspected by your BFGoodrich® tire retailer
at once. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire failure and an accident. T

All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as hard cornering,
rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads which are in poor condition, and off
road use. Roads with holes and rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause
misalignment of your vehicle. When driving on such roads, drive carefully and slowly, and
before driving again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for any damage,
such as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual wear patterns, etc.
WEAR BARS
BFGoodrich® tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the tire tread which show up
when only 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage, your tires must
b e

replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage are extremely dangerous.
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
ra
ting. Follow the loading instructions of FCA US LLC 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 (GAWR) 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 FCA US LLC for further recommendations on trailer towing.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM
MI
LEAGE 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
th
an 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 recommended 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.

BFGOODRICH® TIRES
29
It is especially important to check the vehicle manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual when
mixing, matching or replacing tires on 4 Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicles, as this may require
special precautions.
BFGOODRICH® DOES NOT RECOMMEND MIXING SELF SUPPORTING STRUCTURE (SSS)
T I

RES WITH NON-SSS TIRES OTHER THAN THE TEMPORARY USE OF THE SPARE TIRE.
WINTER DRIVING
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) definition of snow tires
are marked M/S, M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded into the sidewall. Tires
without this notation are not recommended for winter driving.
While All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable performance in
some winter conditions, the use of four winter tires is recommended for
op

timum performance. Tires designated for use in severe winter
conditions are marked on at least one sidewall with the letter “M” and “S”
plus a pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on it.
TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT
To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires. Refer to your
vehicle Owner’s Manual for instructions on tire rotation. If you do not have an Owner‘s
Manual for your vehicle, BFGoodrich® recommends rotating your tires every 6,000 to
8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km).
Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should be rotated at the first
s i

gn of irregular wear, even if it occurs before 6,000 miles (10,000 km). This is true for
a l

l vehicles.
When rotating tires with a directional tread pattern, observe the arrows molded on the
s i

dewall which show the direction the tire should turn. Care must be taken to maintain
the proper turning direction.
Some Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) may not recognize that a tire has been
m o

ved to a different position on your vehicle. Make certain that your TPMS system is
reset, if necessary, so as to correctly identify the location of each tire on your vehicle.
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual or your vehicle dealer.
Determine whether rotated tires require tire inflation adjustment as front and rear
p o

sition tire pressure may vary according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification due
to the actual load on that wheel position. Some vehicles may have different sized tires
mounted on the front and rear axles, and these different sized tires have rotation
restrictions. Always check the vehicle Owner’s Manual for the proper rotation
recommendations.
FULL-SIZE SPARE
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and construction should be
used in a five tire rotation. Always check the inflation pressure of the full-size spare
immediately before incorporating it into rotation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended pattern for rotation, or if not available, see a qualified tire technician.

BFGOODRICH® TIRES

FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Tire changing can be dangerous and must be done by professionally trained persons
us

ing proper tools and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA).
Your tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and type and which are in good,
c le

an condition. Wheels that are bent, chipped, rusted (steel wheels) or corroded (alloy
wheels) may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign material.
Have your retailer check the wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and
rims can explode during mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can result in
dangerous tire failure on the road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do
not remount it on the proper rim — scrap it. It may have been damaged internally (which
is not externally visible) by having been dangerously stretched and could fail on the
highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have new valves of the
c o

rrect type installed. Tubeless tires must only be mounted on wheels designed for
tubeless tires i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges.
It is recommended that you have your tires and wheels balanced. Tires and wheels which
a r

e not balanced may cause steering difficulties, a bumpy ride, and irregular tire wear.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. The valve cap is the primary seal
a g

ainst air loss.
SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES INCLUDING SPARE
TIRES
The following recommendation applies to passenger car and light truck tires. Tires are
composed of various types of material and rubber compounds, having performance
properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire itself. These component
properties evolve over time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors
such as weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use including load, speed,
inflation pressure, maintenance etc. to which the tire is subjected throughout its life. This
service-related evolution varies widely so that accurately predicting the serviceable life
of any specific tire in advance is not possible.
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance by consumers, it is
re

commended to have passenger car and light truck tires, including spare tires,
inspected regularly by a qualified tire specialist, such as a tire dealer, who will assess the
tire’s suitability for continued service. Tires which have been in use for five years or more
should continue to be inspected by a specialist at least annually.
Consumers are strongly encouraged to be aware not only of their tires’ visual condition
an
d inflation pressure but also of any change in dynamic performance such as increased
air loss, noise or vibration, which could be an indication that the tires need to be removed
from service to prevent tire failure.

TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tires can lose 1 psi (pound per square inch) per month under normal conditions.
Additionally, tires can lose 1 psi for every 10°F temperature drop.

Just a look will not do it. One of these tires is actually 10 psi underinflated. Your eyes can
deceive you, so rely on a good tire gauge for an accurate reading.
Look for the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure listed on the sticker usually
lo
cated on the driver side door edge or door jamb area. Example:
This chart shows you how underinflation can create an overload on tires. C
