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

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\

consumer must make the tire available for further inspection. Tires
accepted for claim become the property of BFGoodrich.
No BFGoodrich representative, employee or retailer has the authority
to make or imply any representation, promise or agreement, which in
any way varies the terms of this warranty. These limited warranties
apply only in the United States and Canada.
This warranty gives the user specific legal rights, and the user may
also have other rights which vary from state to state.

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
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
Page 12 of 260

BFGOODRICH TIRE
visible damage. Bumps, bulges, or cracks in any tire may indicate
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified
tire professional. If any tire, including the spare, has bumps, bulges, \
cracks, or other visible damage, do not resume driving with that tire. I\
f
you have no other option, you should drive as slowly and cautiously as
possible until you can obtain towing or mechanical assistance. If the
spare tire is not properly inflated, 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.
Proper Inflation
Driving on Any Tire That Does Not Have the Correct
Inflation Pressure Is Dangerous
An underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in
sudden tire failure and an accident. If your tires are those that came
as original equipment on your vehicle when it was new, refer to 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),
for the recommended operating pressures. For replacement tires, ask
your BFGoodrich tire retailer for the correct inflation pressure; if you
do not, refer to 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), for the recommended operating pressures.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. Never
exceed the Maximum Pressure rating stated on the tire sidewall. Note
that proper inflation pressures for rear tires may differ from proper
inflation pressures for front tires. The Maximum Pressure rating on
the tire is normally not equal to the placard pressure.

BFGOODRICH TIRE
Check the Cold Inflation Pressure in All Your Tires,
Including the Spare, at Least Once Each Month
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle
handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire
failure, loss of vehicle control, and an accident. Therefore, inflation
pressures should be checked at least once each month and before
every long-distance trip. This applies to all tires, including sealant types
and self-supporting tires, which are as susceptible to losing inflation as
any other type of tire if not properly maintained. Pressures should be
checked before the tires have been driven on or after they have been
allowed to cool down to the ambient air temperature. Driving for even
a short distance causes tires to heat up and their inflation to increase,
and recommended tire pressures are for tires that have not been
heated by recent driving on them.
Underinflation and Overinflation Must Be Checked
with a Tire Pressure Gauge
Tires must be checked monthly with a tire pressure gauge. It is
impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated by simply
looking at them. It is almost impossible to feel or hear when a tire is \
being run underinflated or overinflated. Use an accurate tire pressure
gauge to check tire pressure each month. Small and inexpensive tire
pressure gauges are available. You should keep one in your vehicle’s
glove box or trunk and use it monthly and as otherwise needed.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)
Your vehicle is likely equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires mounted on
your vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire pressure falls
below a predetermined level. A TPMS should not replace monthly
manual pressure checks for all four tires and the spare. You should
manually monitor and check tire pressure inflation with a pressure
gauge. Your tires should have the recommended pressure listed by
your vehicle’s manufacturer. This information can be found in the
vehicle owner’s manual and is on a placard located in the vehicle’s
Page 14 of 260
12
BFGOODRICH TIRE
door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door.
If you have plus-size tires that require a higher inflation pressure, your
tire pressure monitoring system will require re-calibration to the new
proper inflation pressure. Refer to your tire dealer/installer of plus-size
tires for proper inflation pressure. You should check inflation in all your
tires, including the spare, once each month and before every long trip. \
Regardless whether your spare is a full-size spare or a mini-spare,
make sure that it is properly inflated. If the TPMS generates improper
monitoring or signals, you should consult your vehicle owner’s manual
and follow up with your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Tire Spinning
Do not spin wheels at more than 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated
on your vehicle’s speedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running,
unloaded tire can cause it to “explode” from centrifugal force. The
energy released by such an explosion may cause serious physical
injury or death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind a spinning
tire. When in mud, sand, snow, ice, or another slippery condition,
do not engage in excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor
excessively, particularly with automatic transmission vehicles, may
cause a drive tire that has lost traction to spin beyond its speed-
enduring capability. This is also true when balancing a drive
tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using the vehicle engine to spin
the tire/wheel assembly.
High Speed Driving Is Dangerous
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard is more
difficult to avoid, and if tire contact is made with it, there is a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid
accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
