BFGOODRICH TIRE
Passenger and Light Truck Tire Limited Warranty
About This Warranty
As the original purchaser of a BFGOODRICH® passenger or light
truck tire, you are covered by all the benefits and conditions (subject
to the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings) contained
in this booklet. To ensure your understanding of and compliance with
the terms and conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully.
It is essential that you also read and understand the safety and
maintenance recommendations for tires contained in this booklet.
Limited Mileage Warranty
BFGOODRICH original equipment passenger and light truck tires are
covered by a limited mileage warranty (hereafter referred to as limited
warranty for treadwear). For the mileage warranty associated with
each tire line, please see your BFGoodrich tire retailer – or visit u\
s at
tireregistration.com.
Certain conditions and limitations apply. Mileage warranties vary by
tire line and certain exclusions may apply.
What Is Covered and for How Long?
BFGOODRICH passenger and light truck tires that are used in normal
service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted are covered
as follows:
Workmanship and Materials
If there is a defect in workmanship and materials during the life of the\

original usable tread, or six (6) years from date of purchase (whichever
comes first), your tire may be replaced on a pro rata basis under this
warranty. After six (6) years or the wear of the original usable tread,
whichever occurs first, all warranties, expressed or implied, expire.
The “date of purchase” refers to the date on your sales invoice. I\
f you
cannot find your sales invoice, the date will be calculated based on the
date of manufacture which is molded on the sidewall of your tire.

BFGOODRICH TIRE
If a tire is covered, and more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread\

has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to
you), or it has been more than 12 months from the date of purchase,
BFGoodrich will replace the tire with a comparable new BFGOODRICH
replacement tire on a pro rata basis. This means that you will be
responsible for paying a portion of the cost. The BFGoodrich tire
retailer will determine the portion for which you will be responsible by\

multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn, by
the current selling price at the adjustment location or the price in the
current BFGoodrich Base Price List, whichever is lower. You also will
be responsible for paying in-full the cost of mounting and balancing the
tire, and the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes.
Treadwear
If a tire is covered and wears out evenly across the face of the tread
before delivering the warranted mileage, BFGoodrich will replace the
tire with a comparable new BFGOODRICH
® replacement tire on a pro
rata basis. This means that you will be responsible for paying a portion
of the cost. The BFGoodrich tire retailer will determine the portion for
which you will be responsible by multiplying the percent of mileage
received by the current actual selling price at the adjustment location or
the price of the tire in the current BFGoodrich Base Price List,
whichever is lower. You will be responsible for paying in-full the cost
of mounting and balancing the tire, and the cost of any other service
charges and applicable taxes.
Tires which wear out evenly before delivering the warranted mileage
will be replaced on a pro rata basis only if:
1.
You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own the vehicle on
which they were originally installed, and the tires have been used
only on that vehicle;
2.
The tires have been rotated and inspected every 6,000-8,000
miles (10,000-12,000 km), or as specified by your vehicle
manufacturer, whichever rotation period is less, and the attached
Mounting and Rotation Service Record has been fully completed
and signed.

Trailer Towing
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit your BFGoodrich tire
retailer for advice about the correct tire size and pressures. Tire size
and pressures will depend on the type and size of trailer and hitch
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure
or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire information placard
that came on your vehicle, (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door) and the owner’s
manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further
recommendations on trailer towing.
Wheel Alignment and Balancing Are Important for
Safety and Maximum Mileage from Your Tires.
Check How Your Tires Are Wearing at Least
Once Each Month
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the
tire wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessi\
ve
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These
conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the
handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If
you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance
checked immediately. Tires which have been run underinflated will
show more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread. Read
and follow the instructions on tire rotation and replacement below.

Tire Rotation
For maximum mileage, rotate your tires according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendations (consult your vehicle owner’s
manual), or if not provided, rotate every 5,000 miles using a
rotation pattern such as below (see “Radial Tire Rotation” in
this manual).

Tire Inflation Pressure
Tires need proper inflation pressure to operate effectively and perform
as intended. Tires carry the vehicle, passenger, and cargo loads and
transmit the braking, acceleration, and turning forces. The vehicle
manufacturer recommends the inflation pressures for the tires mounted
on your vehicle.SAFETY WARNING
Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous. •
Under-inflation causes excessive tire heat build-up and internal
structural damage.
•
Over-inflation makes it more likely for tires tobe cut, punctured, or
broken by sudden impact.
These situations can cause a tire failure, even at a later date, which
could lead to serious personal injury or death. Consult the vehicle
tire information placard and/or owner’s manual for the recommended
inflation pressures.
In addition to tire damage, improper inflation pressure may also: •
Adversely affect vehicle ride and handling.
•
Reduce tire tread wear.
•
Affect fuel economy.
Therefore, follow these important recommendations for tire and vehicle
safety, mileage, and economy: •
Always keep the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
inflation pressure in all your tires, including the spare.
•
Check their pressure monthly and before long trips or
carrying extra weight.
Your vehicle’s tire information placard and/or owner’s manual will
tell you the recommended cold inflation pressure for all your tires,
including the spare. Examples of placards are shown in Figures 1
and 2. Your placard may look differently and have dif- ferent tire and
loading information than that shown in either of the figures. You must

flat operation is pressure at or below 10 psi (70 kPa); however, some
vehicle manufacturers may have established a different pressure
limit. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for the details of your
TPMS. Once the TPMS has indicated that a tire has reduced inflation
pressure, the run-flat mode of operation has commenced. During this
phase of operation, please follow these instructions:•
Reduce speed as much as safely and reasonably possible; do
not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). The greater the speed, the less
distance the tire can travel.
•
Avoid abrupt or aggressive acceleration, braking, or cornering
maneuvers as much as safely and reasonably possible. Pot
holes and other road hazards should be avoided. Careful driving
limits potential damage to the tire, wheel, and vehicle.
•
Proceed to a safe and convenient location for tire service
as soon as possible. Take note of your mileage; your operation
distance is limited. See “Distance—How Far You Can Drive,” the
next section in this manual.
•
If an unusual vibration or vehicle handling difficulty arises,
stop driving as soon as safely and reasonably possible. The
tire may be about to suddenly fail. Release the accelerator and
gradually reduce speed. The tire will need to be replaced before
proceeding.
•
If towing a trailer, stop driving as soon as safely and
reasonably possible. In this condition, it is potentially dangerous
to operate a vehicle/trailer combination. If possible, disconnect the
trailer and proceed as noted above. Do not continue to tow any
trailer until proper tire service or replacement has been performed.
•
Do not touch a tire recently run-low or run-flat (it may be very
hot). Allow the tire to cool before handling.
Distance—How Far You Can Drive
Factors affecting run-flat or low tire pressure operating distance include
vehicle speed, load, and maneuvering; the amount of inflation pressure
loss; the extent of any tire damage; and ambient temperature.
The tire may be marked on the sidewall with run-flat or low tire
pressure operating speed and/or distance limitations, which vary by tire\

design and vehicle application (consult your vehicle owner’s manual).
By international standard, RFT tires have a baseline limitation in run-
flat mode of the following:
Maximum Speed: 50 mph (80 km/h)
Maximum Distance: 50 miles (80 km)
Note:•
Maximum distance values are determined under controlled
conditions, which may vary in actual use.
•
Your mileage capability may be less, or more, depending on your
specific operating conditions.
•
If in doubt, do not exceed the 50 mile (80 km) limitation.
•
Seek tire service as soon as possible to minimize tire damage.
