BFGOODRICH TIRE
Safety Maintenance Information
Read this Owner’s Manual, the information on the sidewall of
your tires, your vehicle owner’s manual and the tire information
placard that came on your vehicle, for essential safety and
maintenance information.
While you should have complete confidence in your new
BFGOODRICH
® tires, it’s important to register your tires so we can
contact you about any new safety developments. For online tire
registration, visit www.tireregistration.com.
Tire Failure – Safety Warning
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture,
impact damage, improper inflation, overloading, a crack, a bulge or
other distortion, 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, death, or property damage. To reduce the risk
of a tire failure, you should thoroughly read and follow the instruction\
s
in this manual, your vehicle owner’s manual, the tire information
placard on the vehicle (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door), and tire sidewall
information regarding safety warnings, proper tire use, and proper
tire maintenance.
Controlling a Vehicle When a Tire Failure Occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, o\
r
feel the vehicle pull toward the side of the failed tire. If that happen\
s,
DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.
Instead, slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the
steering wheel firmly while steering to remain in your lane. Once the
vehicle has slowed and is fully in your control, apply the brakes gently\
,
safely pull over to the shoulder, and come to a stop in the safest
location possible. Inspect all tires. If any tire looks flat or low , or shows
detachment or any other damage, replace the wheel and tire
with a properly inflated spare after first inspecting the spare for

pattern, observe the arrows molded on the sidewall that show the
direction in which the tire should rotate.
Care must be taken to maintain the proper rotation direction. Some
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) may not recognize that
a tire has been moved to a different position on your vehicle. Make
certain that your TPMS system is reset, if necessary, so as to correctly
identify the location of each tire on your vehicle. Refer to your vehicl\
e
owner’s manual or your vehicle dealer for this information. Determine
whether rotated tires require tire inflation adjustment, because front
and rear position tire pressure may vary according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s specification due to the actual load on that wheel
position. Some vehicles may have tires of different size mounted on
the front versus the rear axles, and these different tires have rotation
restrictions. Always check the vehicle owner’s manual for the proper
rotation recommendations.
Full-Size Spare
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and
construction should be used in a five-tire rotation and should be
inspected by a tire professional during routine tire inspection. Always
have spare tires inspected before installation. Tires are composed
of various types of rubber compounds and other materials having
performance properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire. \
These component properties change over time. Always check the
inflation pressure of the full-size spare and look for any indication of
cracking or other damage immediately before incorporating the spare
into rotation. If you see any damage, or if the tire is underinflated, do
not resume driving with that tire unless you have no other option, in
which case you should drive only as slowly as is safely possible in the \
traffic conditions until you can both get the spare tire properly inflated
and have it checked by a tire professional to ensure that it is safe
to use. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pattern for
rotation. If such a recommendation is unavailable, see a qualified
tire professional.

Tire Storage
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool, dry place where water
cannot collect inside them. Tires should be placed away from electric
generators/motors and sources of heat such as hot pipes. Storage
surfaces should be clean and free of grease, gasoline or other
substances which can deteriorate the rubber.
SAFETY WARNING
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be
visible and can lead to a failure resulting in serious personal injury
or death.
The spare tire in your vehicle is intended to be used as a spare when
needed. The spare tire carrier is not intended to be used for long term
storage, except for “temporary use” tires. For more information, s\
ee

Tire Registration
Registration of your tires is an important safety precaution since it
enables the manufacturer to notify you in the event of a recall. When
you purchase replacement tires, the retailer will provide a registration\

card on which the tire identification numbers have been recorded;
fill in your name and address on the card and mail it promptly. Some
retailers may submit the registration for you. You do not need to
register tires which come as original equipment on new vehicles—the
vehicle and tire manufacturers handle that for you.
RFT Tires with Run-Flat Technology
If your vehicle is equipped with Bridgestone or Firestone brand RFT
tires, this chapter presents specific maintenance and safety issues
associated with these tires that are in addition to those covered
elsewhere in this manual.
What is RFT? Run-Flat Technology tires are extraordinary tires that
utilize specially designed components to temporarily support your
vehicle in the event of inflation pressure loss, such as from a puncture.
This gives you the ability to drive to a convenient and safe location
to change your tire (if equipped with a spare) or have it inspected for
possible repair or replacement.
Naturally, certain run-flat and low pressure operating limitations
apply, which varies according to the specific self-supporting tire design.
Like all tires, during normal operation, they must be properly inflated
and maintained. Regardless of the design or quality, no tire
is indestructible.
RFT—How to Identify : Bridgestone and Firestone brand tires
are marked on the sidewalls, near the wheel, with the RFT logo
(shown above).

Tire Replacement
Falken recommends replacing your tires when the tread wears down
to the wear bars at 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch), which are located across
the tread in several locations around the tire. If only two tires are be\
ing
replaced, the two new tires should always be installed on the rear of
the vehicle to aid in preventing your vehicle from hydroplaning, even
if your car is front wheel drive. It’s always recommended to have your
new tires balanced during installation, and alignment checked if the
previous tires show and irregular wear. Tires that have been in use for
6 (six) years or more should continue to be inspected by a qualified tire
specialist, at least annually. It is recommended that any tires 10 (ten)
years old or older from the date of manufacture, including spare tires, \
be replaced with new tires as a precaution even if such tires appear
serviceable and even if they have not reached the legal worn out limit
at 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch).
Tire Repairs
In the event that you get a flat tire while driving, it is best to find a
nearby, safe place to stop and install your spare tire or call a tow truck.
The less distance that you drive on your low or flat tire, the better
chances your tire has of being repairable. Once you are able to get
to your local servicing tire dealer, have them dismount the tire from
the rim and thoroughly inspect the inside of the tire. It is important t\
o
know the difference between a proper tire repair and an improper one
because it can be critical to you and your vehicle’s safety. An improper
repair could pose a safety threat to you and your family and could
also affect your tire’s manufacturer warranty. Here are some tips in
determining if your damaged tire can be properly repaired or not:•
Always have the tire removed from the wheel and inspected before
any repair is performed.
•
Tires with less than 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch) of tread should NOT
be repaired.
•
Never repair a tire with a puncture larger than 6mm
(1/4 of an inch).
•
Repairs should be limited to the tread area only.
•
Repairs cannot overlap one another.

is molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not
recommended for winter driving in regions that experience
winter conditions.
Although All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable performance
in some winter conditions, the use of four winter tires is recommended
for optimal performance. Tires designated for use in severe winter
conditions are marked on at least one sidewall with the letters
“M” and “S” plus a pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake
on it. If such a tire needs to be temporarily replaced with a
tire not so marked, you should immediately drive at a safe
speed to a Michelin dealer to have the spare returned to the
trunk and replaced on your vehicle by another tire with the letters
“M” and “S” and the related pictograph.
Tire Rotation and Replacement
To obtain maximum tread life, you must rotate your tires. You should
rotate your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km)
or as specified by your vehicle manufacturer, whichever occurs
more frequently. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for any
recommendations by your vehicle manufacturer. Monthly inspection
for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should be rotated at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before 6,000 miles (10,000
km). This is true for all vehicles. When rotating tires with a directional
tread pattern, observe the arrows molded on the sidewall that show the
direction in which the tire should rotate.
Care must be taken to maintain the proper rotation direction. Some Tire
Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) may not recognize that a tire
has been moved to a different position on your vehicle. Make certain
that your TPMS system is reset, if necessary, so as to correctly identify
the location of each tire on your vehicle.
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or your vehicle dealer for this
information. Determine whether rotated tires require tire inflation
adjustment, because front and rear position tire pressure may vary
according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification due to the actual
load on that wheel position. Some vehicles may have tires of different

included in the tire rotation process. The proper procedure is to use
the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended tire rotation procedures,
or if not available, to use the appropriate rotation pattern shown,
inserting the spare in the right rear position. Place the tire that
would have gone to the right rear in the spare tire storage position
as the new spare.
•
Important! After rotation, adjust the pressure of the individual tires
to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation or the inflation
pressure recommended by Nitto for an optional fitment according
to the tire’s new location on the vehicle.
•
Do not mix speed-rated tires on the same axle. Higher speed-
rated tires must remain on the rear axle. Consult your authorized
Nitto dealer.
TIRE SPEED RATING
All Nitto passenger and light truck tires have a maximum speed rating
based on size and type. Tires must never be operated in excess
of their rated speed limit! Consult your tire dealer or contact Nitto
Technical Services at (888) 529-8200 Pacific Time if you are not sure
about the maximum speed rating of your tires.
Nitto does not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or
unlawful manner. Obey all local speed limits.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be safely driven
