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.
3.
The completed Service Record form, Original Owner/Tire
Installation Information form, and the original Invoice are

BFGOODRICH TIRE
presented to a participating BFGoodrich tire retailer at the time
of adjustment claim, and
4.
The tires have not become unserviceable due to a condition listed
under WHAT IS NOT COVERED.
How Do I Get a Replacement?
Take your tire to any BFGOODRICH tire retailer. The retailer will
require that you provide one or more the following: 1.
The vehicle on which the tire was used,
2.
Personal identification (e.g. Driver’s License),
3.
Your vehicle registration,
4.
Payment if you owe a pro rata share for the replacement,
5.
A completed Service Record form, and Original Owner/Tire
Installation Information Form,
6.
Your original invoice and copy of this Owner’s Manual, and/or
7.
For treadwear replacement claims, documents showing that your
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.
What Conditions and Exclusions Apply?
This warranty does not provide compensation for loss of time, loss of
use of vehicle, inconvenience or consequential damage. Some states
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential \
damages, so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty limits the length of all express and implied claims. Some \
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so this limitation may not apply to you.
Tires presented for claim remain the property of the consumer, and
BFGoodrich is not responsible for loss of or damage to tires which are
in the custody or control of a BFGoodrich tire retailer for the purpose \
of inspection for warranty claims. In the event of a disputed claim, the\

Tire Safety and Maintenance
The Importance of Maintaining Safe Tires
The tire is the only contact between your vehicle and the road surface. \
Following the inspection and maintenance instructions in this owner ’s
manual is critical to help ensure safe use and longer tire life. Visit the
“Tires 101” page at bfgoodrichtires.com for more information about the \
important safety instructions and procedures in this owner’s manual.

BFGOODRICH TIRE
Always consult the tire manufacturer for the maximum speed of
Unlimited Z or (Y) tires. Speed rating is identified as a part of the tire’s
sizing or service description. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neith\
er
recommended nor endorsed.
In the latest attempt to standardize tire designations, all ratings exce\
pt
Unlimited Z incorporate the speed symbol and load index as the tire’ s
service description.
For Example:
“Z” Rated Tires
When “Z” appears in the size description with the service descript\
ion,
the maximum speed is indicated by the service description.
Examples:
For tires having a maximum speed capability above 240 km/hr
(149 mph), a “Z” may appear in the size designation.
For tires having a maximum speed capability above 300 km/hr
(186 mph), a “Z” must appear in the size designation and the service
description must include Y in parenthesis. Example: 275/40ZR18
(99Y). Consult the tire manufacturer for maximum speed when there
is no service description.

BFGOODRICH TIRE
Replacement of Two Tires
All four tires should be replaced at the same time. However, if only
two tires are replaced, the new ones should be put on the rear.
Deeper tread tires on the rear axle provide better handling, wet grip
and evacuate water, thereby helping to avoid oversteer and loss of
vehicle stability on wet surfaces. Deeper tread tires on the front axle \
can improve wet straight line braking and stopping distance. If only two\

tires are being replaced, BFGoodrich generally recommends they be
installed on the rear axle in the absence of a tire service professional’s
recommendation or consumer’s preference to the contrary.
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 different characteristics, failure to
operate your SUV or truck in a proper and safe manner can increase
the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Modifications to your SUV or truck
tire size, tire type, wheels or suspension can change your vehicle’ s
handling characteristics and further increase the likelihood of vehicle \
rollover. Whether your SUV or 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 proper performance, leading to tire damage
that can result in an accident. Tires that become unserviceable due
to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing

year of decade, e.g.: 1995, 1985, etc.) For the 1990-1999 decade
BFGOODRICH® brand tires are marked with a triangle pointing to the
last three numeric characters. Tires produced after July 2000 have an
additional digit to identify a given decade. For example, 2800 means
the tire was produced during the 28th week of 2000; 0201 during the
2nd week of 2001. If the last digits of your DOT number contain three
numeric characters and are not marked with a triangle, consult a
qualified tire professional to determine the year of manufacture.
Service Life and Safety for Passenger Car and Light
Truck Tires Including Spare 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 (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. That is why, in addition to regular inspections and
inflation pressure maintenance by consumers, it is recommended that
passenger car and light truck tires, including spare tires be inspected \
regularly by a qualified tire specialist, such as a BFGoodrich tire
retailer, who will assess the tire’s suitability for continued service.
Tires which have been in use for 5 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 and
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. \
It
is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based on their
calendar age alone. However, the older a tire, the greater the chance
that it will need to be replaced due to the service-related evolution or
other conditions found upon inspection or detected during use. While
most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is
recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more 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

Tire Maintenance and Safety Information
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in use as a result of\

punctures, impact damage, improper inflation, overloading, or other
conditions resulting from use or misuse. Tire failure may create a risk
of property damage, serious personal injury or death.SAFETY WARNING
Serious personal injury or death may result from a tire failure. Many tire
failures are preceded by vibration, bumps, bulges or irregular wear. If a
vibration occurs while driving your vehicle or you notice a bump, bulge \
or irregular wear, have your tires and vehicle evaluated by a qualified
tire service professional.
To reduce the risk of tire failure, Bridgestone Americas Tire
Operations, LLC strongly recommends you read and follow
all safety information contained in this manual. In addition, we
recommend periodic inspection and maintenance, if necessary,
by a qualified tire service professional.
Tire Failure While Driving
SAFETY WARNING
It is not often that a properly maintained tire will “blow out” wh\
ile you
are driving. More commonly, if inflation pressure is lost, it will be
gradual. If you do experience a blowout or sudden tire
failure, the
following information should be helpful:
• When the failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a
vibration, and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the
failed tire.
•
DO NOT abruptly brake or turn.
•
Slowly remove your foot from the accelerator, hold the steering
wheel firmly, and steer to maintain your lane position.
•
Once the vehicle has slowed, apply the brakes gently.
•
Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop, as far off
the road as possible.

check the driver’s-side door edge or door jamb area for the actual
placard that applies to your vehicle. For questions about locating
or understanding the tire information placard, consult your vehicle
owner’s manual or ask a qualified tire service professional.
Figure 1: EXAMPLE —Tire and Loading Information Placard
Figure 2: EXAMPLE—Tire Information Placard
Maximum Pressure Indicated on the Tire Sidewall : This is the
maximum permissible inflation pressure for the tire only. The vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended tire pressures may be lower than, or
the same as, the maximum pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.
The vehicle manufacturer’s specification of tire pressure is limited to
your particular vehicle and takes into account your vehicle’s load, ride,
and handling characteristics, among other criteria. Since there may
be several possible vehicle applications for a given tire size, a vehicl\
e
manufacturer may choose a different inflation pressure specification for
that same size tire on a different vehicle. Therefore, always refer to the
inflation pressure specifications on the vehicle tire information placard
and/or in your vehicle owner’s manual.

Different Tire Pressures for the Front and Rear Tires: For some
vehicles, the recommended front and rear inflation pressures may
be different (such as in the example shown in Figure 2). Make sure
you take this into account during inflation pressure checks and when
rotating tires.
Pressure Loss: Tires can lose 1 psi (7 kPa) per month under normal
conditions and can lose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 10˚F (5.6˚C temperature
drop. A puncture, leaking valve, or other damage could also cause
inflation pressure loss. If a tire loses more than 2 psi (14 kPa) per
month, have it checked by a qualified tire service professional.
Tips For Safe Tire Inflation
SAFETY WARNING
Inflating an unsecured tire is dangerous. If it bursts, it could be hurled
into the air with explosive force resulting in serious personal injury or
death. Never inflate a tire unless it is
secured to the vehicle or a tire
mounting machine.
• Check your tire pressures, including your spare tire, monthly
and before long trips or carrying extra weight. Be sure to use an
accurate pressure gauge.
•
Check inflation pressure when the tires are “cold.” Tires are
considered “cold” when the vehicle has been parked for three
hours or more, or if the vehicle has been driven less than a mile at
moderate speed.
•
Never release pressure from a hot tire in order to reach the
recommended cold tire pressure. Normal driving causes tires
to run hotter and inflation pressure to increase. If you reduce
inflation pressure when your tires are hot, you may dangerously
underinflate your tires.
•
If it is necessary to adjust inflation pressure when your tires are
“hot,” set their pressure to 4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended
cold inflation pressure. Recheck the inflation pressure when the
tires are cold.
•
If your tires lose more than 2 psi (14 kPa) per month, the tire, the
valve, or wheel may be damaged. Consult a qualified tire service
professional for an inspection.
