Tire Markings
Tire Markings
NOTE:
• P (Passenger) — Metric tire sizing is based on US design standards. P-Metric tires haveth

e letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Example: P215/
65R15XL 95H.
• European — Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards. Tires designed to

this standard have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section
width. The letter "P" is absent from this tire size designation. Example: 215/65R15
96H.
• LT (Light Truck) — Metric tire sizing is based on US design standards. The size desig -
n a

tion for LT-Metric tires is the same as for P-Metric tires except for the letters “LT”
th a

t are molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Example: LT235/
85R16C.
• Temporary spare tires are designed for temporary emergency use only. Temporary hi

gh pressure compact spare tires have the letter “T” or “S” molded into the sidewall
preceding the size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
• High flotation tire sizing is based on US design standards and it begins with the tire di

ameter molded into the sidewall. Example: 31x10.5 R15 LT.

Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation
FCA US LLC advocates driving at safe speeds and within posted speed limits. Where
speed limits or conditions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds,
maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important. Increased tire pressure and
reduced vehicle loading may be required for high-speed vehicle operation. Refer to an
authorized tire dealer or original equipment vehicle dealer for recommended safe
operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
Radial Ply Tires
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be repaired if it meets the following criteria:
• The tire has not been driven on when flat.
• Th

e damage is only on the tread section of your tire (sidewall damage is not repair -
a b

le).
• The puncture is no greater than a ¼ of an inch (6 m
m).
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs and additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of pressure should
be

replaced immediately with another Run Flat tire of identical size and service
description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive 50 miles (80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h)
aft
er a rapid loss of inflation pressure. This rapid loss of inflation is referred to as the Run
Flat mode. A Run Flat mode occurs when the tire inflation pressure is of/or below 14 psi
(96 kPa). Once a Run Flat tire reaches the Run Flat mode, it has limited driving
capabilities and needs to be replaced immediately. A Run Flat tire is not repairable.
It is not recommended to drive a vehicle loaded at full capacity or to tow a trailer while a
tir
e is in the Run Flat mode.
See the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) section for more information.
WARNING!
High speed driving with your vehicle under maximum load is dangerous. The added
strain on your tires could cause them to fail. You could have a serious collision. Do not
drive a vehicle loaded to maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph
(1 2

0 km/h).
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your
vehicle to handle poorly. The instability could cause a collision. Always use radial ply
tires in sets of four. Never combine them with other types of tires.

Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not limited to:
• D riving style.
•
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns
t
o develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life,
resulting in the need for earlier tire replacement.
• D istance driven.
•
Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or higher, and Summer tires typically
h
ave a reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires per the vehicle scheduled mainte -
nance is highly recommended.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible.
P r

otect 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 tire inflation pressures. FCA US LLC strongly
recommends that you use tires equivalent to the originals in size, quality and
performance when replacement is needed. Refer to the paragraph on “Tread Wear
Indicators” in this section. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information placard or the
Vehicle Certification Label for the size designation of your tires. The Load Index and
Speed Symbol for your tires will be found on the original equipment tire sidewall.
See the Tire Sizing Chart example found in the “Tire Safety Information” section of this
ma

nual for more information relating to the Load Index and Speed Symbol of a tire.
It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just
o n

e tire can seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make
sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheels.

It is recommended you contact an authorized tire dealer or original equipment dealer with
a n

y questions you may have on tire specifications or capability. Failure to use equivalent
replacement tires may adversely affect the safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.

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.

DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADES
The following tire grading categories were established by the National 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 federal safety requirements in addition to
the

se grades.
Treadwear

The treadwear 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 traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent
the tire'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.
Temperature Grades
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance
to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat, when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce
tir

e life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance, which all passenger vehicle tires must meet under
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel, than the minimum required by law.

WARNING!

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

WARNING!

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

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
pu

ll 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
s t

eering 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.
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.

BFGOODRICH® TIRES

REPLACEMENT OF TWO TIRES
It is recommended that all four tires are replaced at the same time. However, whenever
on

ly two tires are replaced, the new ones should be put on the rear. The new tires, with
deeper tread, may provide better grip and water evacuation in wet driving conditions.
CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, OR SUSPENSION ON SUVS AND LIGHT
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. Failure 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
p r

oper performance, leading to tire damage which can result in an accident. Tires which
become unserviceable due to alterations such as trueing, whitewall inlays, addition of
balancing or sealant liquids, or the use of tire dressing containing petroleum distillates
are excluded from warranty coverage.
REPAIRS - WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR BFGOODRICH® TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE
If any BFGoodrich® tire sustains a puncture, have the tire demounted and thoroughly
i n

spected by any BFGoodrich® tire retailer for possible damage that may have occurred.
A tread area puncture in any BFGoodrich® passenger or light truck tire can be repaired
p r

ovided that the puncture hole is not more than 1/4 of an inch in diameter, not more
than one radial cable per casing ply is damaged, and the tire has not been damaged
further by the puncturing object or by running underinflated. Tire punctures consistent
with these guidelines can be repaired by following the Rubber Manufacturers Association
(RMA) recommended repair procedures.
TIRE REPAIRS
Repairs of all tires must be of the combined plug and inside patch type. Plug only repairs
are improper. A tire should be removed from the rim and inspected prior to repair. Any
tire repair done without removing the tire from the rim is improper. An improperly
repaired tire will cause further damage to the tire by either leaking air or allowing air,
moisture and contaminants to enter the structure of the tire. An improperly repaired tire
can fail suddenly at a later date.
Never repair a tire with less than 2/32 of an inch tread remaining. At this tread depth,
t h

e tire is worn out and must be replaced.

BFGOODRICH® TIRES
32
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.
