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 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
balancing or sealant liquids, or the use of
tire dressing containing petroleum
distillates are excluded from warranty
coverage.
REPAIRS - WHEREVER
POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR TIRE
RETAILER AT ONCE
If any tire sustains a puncture, have the
tire demounted and thoroughly
inspected by a tire retailer for possible
damage that may have occurred. A tread
area puncture in any passenger or light
truck tire can be repaired provided that
the puncture hole is not more than 1/4” 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 under
inflated. Tire punctures consistent with
these guidelines should only be repaired
by following the U.S. Tire Manufacturers
Association (USTMA) recommended
repair procedures. Plug-only repairs done
on-the-wheel are considered improper
and therefore, not recommended. Such
repairs are not reliable and may cause
further damage to the tire.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes and emollients to
protect their outer surfaces from ozone
and weather checking. As the tire rolls and
flexes, the waxes and emollients
continually migrate to the surface,
replenishing this protection throughout
the normal use of the tire. Consequently,
when tires sit unused for long periods of
time (a month or more) their surfaces
become dry and more susceptible to
ozone and weather checking and the
casing becomes susceptible to flat
spotting.For this reason, tires should
always be stored in a cool, dry, clean,
indoor environment. If storage is for
one month or more, eliminate the
weight from the tires by raising the
vehicle or by removing the tires from
the vehicle. Failure to store tires in
accordance with these instructions
could result in damage to your tires or
premature aging of the tires and
sudden tire failure.
When tires are stored, be sure they are
placed away from sources of heat and
ozone such as direct sunlight, hot pipes
and electric generators. Be sure that
surfaces on which tires are stored are
clean and free from grease, gasoline or
other substances, which could deteriorate
the rubber. Failure to store tires in
accordance with these instructions could
result in damage to your tires or
premature aging of the tires and sudden
tire failure.
