Owner`s manual

ASK how your tire will be repaired.

ALWAYS insist on a proper tire repair.

Emergency/Temporary Sealant or Filler Repairs: An emer-

gency/temporary sealant or filler injected into the tire, such as

by aerosol can or injection/squeeze-tube, is not a proper repair

and voids the tire Limited Warranty. A tire injected with such

sealant/filler must be replaced by a qualified tire service

professional as soon as possible.

SAFETY WARNING

Tell the tire service professional if you have used an aerosol fixer

to inflate/seal the tire. Aerosol fixers could contain a highly

volatile gas. Always remove the valve core outdoors, away from

sources of excessive heat, flame, or sparks and completely

deflate the tire before removing it from the wheel.

Speed Rating: The tire’s speed rating is void if the tire is

repaired, retreaded, damaged, abused, or otherwise altered from

its original condition. Thereafter, it should be treated as a non-

speed rated tire. See “Tire Speed Ratings” in this manual.

Improper repair voids the tire Limited Warranty. See “Limited

Warranty” in this manual.

RFT (Run-Flat Technology) Tires: In addition to the above,

there are recommendations specific to the repair of RFT tires;

see “RFT Tires with Run-Flat Technology” in this manual.

TIRE MOUNTING AND OTHER SERVICING

SAFETY WARNING

Removing and replacing tires on wheels can be dangerous.

Attempting to mount tires with improper tools or procedures

may result in a tire explosion causing serious personal injury or

death. This is only a job for a qualified tire service professional.

Never perform tire service procedures without proper training,

tools, and equipment.

This manual is not intended to provide proper training

or service procedures for tire mounting, demounting,

balancing, rotation, or repair. Please leave these tasks to

qualified tire service professionals. For your safety and

that of others:

• Always stand well clear of any tire mounting operation.

This is especially important when the service operator

inflates the tire. If the tire has been improperly mounted, it

may burst with explosive force causing serious personal

injury or death.
