damage and their general condition is important for safety. If
you observe or experience impact, impact damage, penetrations,
cracks, bulges or air loss, your tires should be dismounted and
inspected by an expert. If you have any questions, have your tire
Dealer inspect them. Never perform a temporary repair or use
an inner tube as a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified
persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR
NOTE: Goodyear does not warrant any inspection or repair
process. The repair is entirely the responsibility of the repairer
and should be made in accordance with established U.S. Tire
Manufacturers Association (USTMA) procedures.
Tire Pressure-Monitoring System Alert
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more information on
what to do if the tire pressure warning system activates.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built and tested
to the high engineering standards set by North America’s leading
car manufacturers and to Goodyear’s own high standards of quality
control. It is designed to take up a minimum of storage space and,
at the same time, fulfill the function of a spare tire when needed.
The spare is kept in its storage space, fully inflated at 60 psi. To be
sure it is always ready for use, the air pressure should be checked on
a regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in combination
with the original tires on your vehicle. You can expect a tire tread
life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers), depending on road
conditions and your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life,
return the spare to the storage area
as soon as it is convenient to have the standard tire repaired
or replaced.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a standard
tire so it’s easier to handle. It also helps reduce the total car
weight, which contributes to fuel economy.
The wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary) Spare are
specifically designed for use with high pressure spares and should
never be used with any other type tire.
SPECIAL TRAILER ST TIRES:
Your Goodyear Special Trailer (ST) tires are specifically designed
and constructed to optimize their performance on non-driven
trailer axle applications. Goodyear’s Special Trailer (ST) tires are
used on popular vehicle fitments, including, but not limited
to: Travel Trailers, Utility Trailers, Equipment Trailers, Watercraft
Trailers, Car Haulers, etc..
Due to the seasonal nature and often unique loadability of
these trailers, it is very important to check inflation pressures
at least once a month and before trips. Use an accurate tire
pressure gauge. Always check pressures when the tires are cold
(when the trailer has been driven less than one mile). If you
must check inflation when the tires are hot, add 4 psi (27 kPa)
to the recommended cold trailer placard inflation pressure. It
is difficult to tell just by looking at radial tires whether they
are underinflated. Check your trailer’s certification placard to
determine the load limits. Overloading your trailer places stress
on your tires and other critical vehicle components. Overloading
a trailer can cause poor handling or increased fuel consumption
