At zero pressure, the Securitires will provide you
with a minimum driving capability of approximately
20 miles (30 kms). How you drive and the actual
amount of air pressure left in your tires will
determine exactly how many miles can be driven.
To extend the mileage and help prevent damage to
low or deflated tires, you should:
not exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) and drive at a
reduced rate of speed, if possible
avoid excessive hard steering and braking
maneuvers, if possible
stop periodically to allow the tires to cool down
/!\ WARNING
If your vehicle is driven with a low tire, the
tire itself may become very hot. Allow the
tire and wheel to cool before attempting to
change it.
