&WARNINGRisk of injuryand poisoningfrom tire sealant
The tire sealant is harmful and causes irrita‐tion. Do not allow ittocome into contactwith the skin,eyes or clothing, and do notswallow it. Do not inhale tire sealant fumes.Keepthe tire sealantawayfromchildren.
Ifyou come into contact withthe tire sealant,observethefollowing:
#Rinse offthe tire sealant fromyour skinimmediately usingwater.
#If tire sealantgets intoyoureyes,thor‐oughlyrinse outtheeyes using cleanwater.
#If tire sealant has been swallowed,immediatelyrinse outthe mouththor‐oughly and drink plenty ofwater.Do notinducevomiting and seek medicalattention immediately.
#Change out of any clothes contamina‐ted with tire sealant immediately.
#If allergicreactions occur, seek medicalattention immediately.
*NOTEOverheating duetothe tire infla‐tion compressorrunningtoo long
#Do notrunthe tire inflation compressorfor longerthan eight minutes withoutinterruption.
Comply withthe manufacturer's safety notes onthesticker onthe tire inflation compressor.

#Do notremoveanyforeign objects whichhaveenteredthe tire.
#Affix part1ofthe TIREFITstickertotheinstrument cluster withinthe driver'sfield ofvision.

RThe tires maywearexcessively and/orunevenly,which maygreatlyimpair tiretraction.
RThe drivingcharacteristics, aswell assteering and braking, may be greatlyimpaired.
#Comply withtherecommended tirepressure andcheckthe tire pressure ofall tires includingthe spare wheelregu‐larly:
Rat least once a month
Rwhenthe loadchanges
Rbefore embarking on a longer journey
Rif operating conditionschange, e.g. off-road driving
#Adjustthe tire pressure as necessary.
Driving withtire pressurethat istoo high ortoolow can:
RShortenthe service life ofthe tires.
RCause increased tire damage.
RAdversely affect drivingcharacteristics andthus driving safety,e.g. dueto hydroplaning.
&WARNINGRisk of an accident duetoinsufficient tire pressure
Tires with pressurethat istoo low canover‐heat and burstas aresult.
In addition,theyalso suffer fromexcessiveand/or irregularwear, which can significantlyimpairthe braking properties andthe han‐dlingcharacteristics.
#Avoidexcessively low tire pressures inallthe tires, includingthe spare wheel.
Tirepressure which istoo low can cause:
RTiredefects as aresult ofoverheating
RImpaired handlingcharacteristics
RIrregularwear
RIncreased fuel consumption
&WARNINGRisk of accident fromexces‐sive tire pressure
Tires withexcessively high pressure canburst becausetheyare damaged more easilybyhighwayfill, pot holesetc.
In addition,theyalso suffer from irregularwear, which can significantly impairthe brak‐ing properties andthe handlingcharacteris‐tics.
#Avoidexcessively high tire pressures inallthe tires, includingthe spare wheel.
Excessively high tire pressure canresult in:
RIncreased braking distance
RImpaired handlingcharacteristics
RIrregularwear
RImpaired driving comfort

and one-half times aswell onthe governmenttesttrack as a tire graded100.
Therelative performance of tires depends uponthe actual conditions oftheir use, however,andmay depart significantly fromthe norm duetovariations in driving habits, service practices anddifferences inroadcharacteristics and climateconditions.
Tractiongrade
&DANGERRisk of accident duetoinade‐quate traction
The tractiongrade assignedtothis tire isbased onstraight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not include either accelera‐tion, cornering,hydroplaning or peak tractioncharacteristics.
#Always adaptyour drivingstyle anddrive at a speedtosuitthe prevailingtraffic andweather conditions.
*NOTEDamagetothe drivetrain fromwheelspin
#Avoid wheelspin.
The traction grades – from highesttolowest –are AA,A,B and C. Those gradesrepresentthetire's abilitytostop onwet pavement as meas‐ured under controlled conditions on specifiedgovernmenttestsurfaces made of asphalt andconcrete.
Temperaturegrade
&WARNINGRisk of accident from tireoverheating and tirefailure
Thetemperature gradeforthis tire is estab‐lishedfor a tirethat is properly inflated andnotoverloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐tion, orexcessive loading, either separatelyor in combination, can causeexcessive heatbuild-up and possible tirefailure.
#Observetherecommended tire pres‐sures andregularlycheckthe tire pres‐
sure of all tires includingthe sparewheel.
#Adjustthe tire pressure as necessary.
Thetemperature grades are A (the highest), Band C. Theyrepresentthe tire'sresistancetothegeneration of heat and its abilitytodissipateheat whentested under controlled conditions ona specified indoor laboratorytestwheel. Sus‐tained hightemperature can causethe materialofthe tiretodegenerate andreduce tire life, andexcessivetemperature can leadtosudden tirefailure. Grade C correspondstoa level of per‐formance which all passenger car tires mustmeet undertherequirements ofthe US Depart‐ment ofTransportation.
