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

•TIRE SPINNING. On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice, etc., do not spin tires in
excess of 35 mph (55 km/h), as indicated on the speedometer.
• EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.
This can also result in tire disintegration or axle failure.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and performance from your
Goodyear® or Dunlop® tires is to give them a simple but frequent (at least monthly)
inspection for proper inflation, even tread wear and the presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire performance, safety and fuel
economy. Check inflation pressures at least once a month and before long trips. Use an
accurate tire pressure gauge. Always check pressures when the tires are cold (when the
vehicle has been driven less than one mile). If you must check inflation when the tires
are hot, add 4 psi (27 kPa) to the recommended cold inflation pressure. It is difficult to
tell just by looking at radial tires whether they are underinflated.*
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with radial tires, it is difficult to notice
wh

en a tire has gone flat or nearly flat since the “feel” of the vehicle does not change
significantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation always requires expert inspection to
d e

termine the source of leakage and tire removal to determine repairability. To avoid
injury, NEVER attempt to reinflate a tire that has been run severely underinflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing, impacts or partial bead
unseating. Some fitment causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead
tearing caused by a machine tool due to insufficient lubrication or improper adjustment.
Leaking valve core or rubber valve components should be replaced when problems are
detected and whenever tires are replaced.
WARNING!


Vehicle handling, traction, ride comfort and other performance parameters may be
significantly affected by a change in tire size or type. Before replacing tires, always
consult and follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual because some vehicle manufacturers
prohibit changing tire size. When selecting tires that are different from the original
equipment size make certain:
• The tires have adequate load-carrying capacity based on the vehicle placard.
•

The tires have sufficient inflation pressure to carry the load.
•
There is proper clearance with no interference points between the tire and vehicle.
T
he consumer must be aware to always drive safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid
s u

dden, sharp turns or aggressive lane changes. Failure to follow any of these
warnings may result in loss of control of the vehicle, leading to an accident and
serious injury or death.

Always maintain inflation pressure at the level recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer as shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle certification label or in the vehicle
Owner’s Manual:
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking,
c o

mponent separation or “blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive
sidewall flexing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in heat and mechanical
damage. Maintaining proper inflation pressure is the single most important thing you can
do to promote tire durability and maximize tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate ride and generate unwanted
vi
bration. Overinflation also increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE

Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to determine the load limits. Overloading your vehicle
places stress on your tires and other critical vehicle components. Overloading a vehicle can
cause poor handling or increased fuel consumption and may cause tire failure. Overloading
your tires can result in severe cracking, component separation or “blowout.”

Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load capacity than shown on the
ve

hicle tire placard and remember that optimum rim width is important for proper tire
load distribution and function. The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of
P-Metric & European Metric tires is reduced by 10% when used on a light truck, utility
vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric or European Metric tires to light trucks that specify
LT-type replacement tires.
DO NOT SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck in snow, ice, mud or sand. The
centrifugal forces generated by a free-spinning tire/wheel assembly may cause sudden
tire explosion, resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious personal injury to you or a
bystander. Never exceed 35 mph (55 km/h), as indicated on your speedometer. Use a
g e

ntle backward and forward rocking motion to free your vehicle for continued driving.
Never stand near or behind a tire spinning at high speeds, for example, while attempting
to push a vehicle that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin balance machine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEAR
Always remove tires from service when they reach 2/32 of an inch remaining tread
depth. All new tires have tread wear indicators which appear as smooth banks in the
tread grooves when they wear to the 2/32 of an inch level. Many wet weather accidents
result from skidding on bald or nearly bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more
susceptible to penetrations.

DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for signs of damage and their general
condition is important for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire dealer inspect
them. Impacts, penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges or air loss always require tire removal
and expert inspection. Never perform a temporary repair or use an inner tube as a
substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR
Goodyear® does not warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair is entirely the
responsibility of the repairer and should be made in accordance with established Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) procedures.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Alert
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more information on what to do if the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alert activates.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built and tested to the high engineering
standards set by North America’s leading car manufacturers and to Goodyear®’s own
high standards of quality control. It is designed to take up minimum storage space and,
at the same time, fulfill the function of a spare tire when needed. The spare is kept in its
storage space, fully inflated at 60 psi. To be sure it is always ready for use, the air
pressure should be checked on a regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in combination with the original tires
on

your vehicle. You can expect a tire tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers),
d e

pending on road conditions and your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, return
the spare to the storage area as soon as it is convenient to have the standard tire
repaired or replaced.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a standard tire so it’s easier to
h a

ndle. It also helps reduce the total car weight, which contributes to fuel economy. The
wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary) Spare are specifically designed for use
with high pressure spares and should never be used with any other type tire.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper
mounting procedures. Follow tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to
rim diameter. Mount light truck radials on rims approved for radial service. Do not apply
bead sealer. This can inhibit bead seating. Lubricate beads and tire rim (including tube
or flap) contact surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or place in safety cage.
STAND BACK and never exceed 40 psi to seat beads. Never use a volatile substance or
a rubber “donut” (also known as a bead expander or “O-Ring”) to aid bead seating. Only
specially trained persons should mount tires.
