6. SAFETY WARNING:
WARNING:
Ignoring any of the safety and information contained
in this limited warranty and Adjustment Policy may result in tire
failure , causing serious injury or death.
•
Tire failure due to underinflation /overloading.
Follow vehicle
owner’s manual or tire placard in vehicle for proper inflation and
loading
•
Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper tire mounting.
Tire mounting/demounting can be dangerous. It should be performed
only by a trained tire specialist using proper tools and procedures.
Prior to tire mounting/demounting, the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) wall charts and manuals should be read to obtain
the proper procedures. The failure to follow these procedures may
result in faulty positioning of the tire and/or rim, which may cause the
assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause injury or death
•
Tire failure due to damage.
Inspect your tires frequently for
scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags and other damage from road
hazards. Damage from impact can occur to the inner portions of your
tire without being visible to the outside. If you suspect a tire has been
damaged from striking anything unusual in the road, you must have
the tire removed from the rim and inspected both inside and out by a
trained tire specialist. Air loss or unusual tire wear can also be
warning signs that a tire may have internal damage. If you notice
these conditions, have your tire inspected by a trained individual.
•
Tire failure due to excessive tire spinning.
Avoid tire spinning.
The centrifugal force generated by a free-spinning tire/rim assembly
may cause a sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or
serious injury or death. Never exceed 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated
on your speedometer when your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or
sand and your tire(s) is/are spinning. Use a gentle backward and
forward rocking motion to free your vehicle for continued driving.
Never stand or permit anyone else to stand near or behind a tire
spinning while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck.
