TIRE STORAGE
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool, dry place. Water
should not be allowed to collect inside them. Tires should
be placed away from electric generators/motors and sources
of heat such as hot pipes. Storage surfaces should be clean
and free of grease, gasoline or other substances which can
deteriorate the rubber.
SAFETY WARNING
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not
be visible and can lead to a failure resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
The spare tire in your vehicle is intended to be used as a
|spare when needed. The spare tire carrier is not intended to
be used for long term storage, except for “temporary use”
tires. For more information, see “Your Spare Tire” and
“Radial Tire Rotation” in this manual.

TIRE REGISTRATION
Registration of your tires is an important safety precaution
since it enables the manufacturer to notify you in the event
of a recall. When you purchase replacement tires, the retailer
will provide a registration card on which the tire identication
numbers have been recorded; ll in your name and address
on the card and mail it promptly. Some retailers may submit
the registration for you. You do not need to register tires which
come as original equipment on new vehicles—the vehicle and
tire manufacturers handle that for you.
