When rotating tires with a directional tread pattern, observe
the arrows molded on the sidewall which show the direction
in which the tire should turn. Care must be taken to maintain
the proper turning direction.
As a general rule, whenever only two tires are replaced, the
new tires should be put on the rear.
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 differing
characteristics, failure to operate your SUV/truck in a proper
and safe manner can increase the likelihood of vehicle
rollover. Modifications to your SUV/truck tire size, tire type,
wheels or suspension can change its handling characteristics
and further increase the likelihood of vehicle rollover.
Whether your SUV/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 alteration to your tires.
Alterations may prevent proper performance, leading to tire
damage which can result in an accident. Tires which become
unserviceable as a result of alterations such as truing,
whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids or
the use of tire dressings containing petroleum distillates, are
excluded from warranty coverage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE SEE ANY BFGOODRICH
®
TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE
If any BFGoodrich
®
tire sustains a puncture, have the tire
demounted and thoroughly inspected by a participating
BFGoodrich
®
tire retailer for possible damage that may have
occurred.
A puncture in the tread area of any BFGoodrich
®
passenger or
light truck tire can be repaired provided that the hole is not
more than 1/4” (6mm) in diameter, not more than one radial
cable per casing ply is damaged, and the tire has not been
damaged further by the puncturing object or by running
underinflated. Tire punctures consistent with these guidelines
can be repaired by following the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) recommended repair procedures.
