Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but
not limited to:
•˜ž›1 riving
style
ï
• Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause uneven
wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear
patterns will reduce tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
• ‘Ž1 –’•Žœ
driven.
• Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or higher, and
Summer tires typically have a reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires
per the vehicle scheduled maintenance is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless
of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in
sudden tire failure. You could lose control and have a collision
resulting in serious injury or death.
TIRES
Keep
dismounted
tires
in
a
cool,
dry
place
with
as
little
exposure
to
light

as
possible.
Protect
tires
from
contact
with
oil,
grease,
and
gasoline.
Replacement Tires
The
tires
on
your
new
vehicle
provide
a
balance
of
many
characteristics.

They
should
be
inspected
regularly
for
wear
and
correct
cold

The
manufacturer
strongly
recommends
that
you
use

tires
equivalent
to
the
originals
in
size,
quality
and
performance
when

is
needed.

TIRE QUALITY GRADES
The
following
tire
grading
categories
were
established
by
the
Na-
tional
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration.
The
specific
grade

rating
assigned
by
the
tire’s
manufacturer
in
each
category
is
shown

on
the
sidewall
of
the
tires
on
your
vehicle.
All
passenger
vehicle
tires
must
conform
to
ederal
safety
require-
ments
in
addition
to
these
grades.
Treadwear
The
readwear
grade
is
a
comparative
rating,
based
on
the
wear
rate

of
the
tire
when
tested
under


controlled
conditions
on
a
specified

government
test
course.
For
example,
a
tire
graded
150
would
wear

one
and
one-half
times
as
well
on
the
government
course
as
a
tire

graded
100.
The
relative
performance
of
tires

depends
upon
the
actual

conditions
of
their
use,
however,
and
may
depart
significantly
from

the
norm
due
to
variations
in
driving
habits,
service
practices,
and

differences
in
road
characteristics
and
climate.
Traction Grades
The
raction
grades,
from
highest
to
lowest,
are
AA,
A,
B,
and
C.

These
grades
represent
the
tir

e’s
ability
to
stop
on
wet
pavement,
as

measured
under
controlled
conditions
on
specified
government
test

surfaces
of
asphalt
and
concrete.
A
tire
marked
C
may
have
poor

traction
performance.
WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, corner-
ing, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

(not
temporary

be
used
in

Always
check
the

of
the
full-size

immediately
before
incorporating
it

Follow
the

recommended
pattern
for

rotation,
or
if
not
available,
see
a

REPLACEMENT
OF
TWO


(2)
TIRES
It
is
recommended
that
all
four
(4)
tires
are
replaced
at
the
same
time.

However,
whenever
only
two
tires
are
replaced,
the
new
ones
should
be

put
on
the
rear.
The
new
tires,
with
deeper

may
provide
better
grip

and
water

in
wet

conditions.
CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, ORSUSPENSION ON
SUVS ANDLIGHT TRUCKS
Due
to
their
size,
weight
and
higher
center
of
gravity,
vehicles
such
as

SUVs
and
light
trucks
do
not
have
the
same
handling
characteristics
as

automobiles.
Because
of
these
differing
characteristics,
failure
to
operate

your
SUV/truck
in
a
proper
and
safe
manner
can
increase
the
likelihood

of
vehicle
rollover.
Modifications
to
your
SUV/truck
tire
size,

tire
type,

wheels
or
suspension
can
change
its
handling
characteristics
and
further

increase
the
likelihood
of
vehicle
rollover.
Whether
your
SUV/truck
has

the
original
equipment
configuration
for
tires,
wheels
and
suspension
or

whether
any
of
these
items
have
been
modified,
always
drive
safely,

avoid
sudden,
sharp
turns
or
lane
changes
and
obey
all
traffic
laws.

Failur e


to
do
so
may
result
in
loss
of
vehicle
control
leading
to
an
accident

and
serious
injury
or
death.
TIRE
ALTERATIONS
Do
not
make
or
allow
to
be
made
any
alterations
on
your
tires.

Alterations
may
prevent
proper
performance,
leading
to
tire
damage

which
can
result
in
an
accident.
Tires
which
become
unserviceable
due
to

alterations
such
as
truing,
whitewall
inlays,
addition
of

or

sealant
liquids,
or
the
use
of

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 correct 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 are 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 against 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 (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.
That it is why, in addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure
maintenance by consumers, it is recommended 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 5 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 and 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.
