Treadwear If a tire is covered and wears out evenly across the face of the tread before delivering the warranted mileage, BFGoodrich will replace the tire with a comparable new BFGOODRICH® replacement tire on a pro rata basis. This means that you will be responsible for paying a portion of the cost.
Tires presented for claim remain the property of the consumer, and BFGoodrich is not responsible for loss of or damage to tires which are in the custody or control of a BFGoodrich tire retailer for the purpose of inspection for warranty claims. In the event of a disputed claim, the consumer must make the tire available for further inspection. Tires accepted for claim become the property of BFGoodrich.
and beyond the fees required for document hearings. Any award of the arbitrator(s) may be entered as a judgment and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Information about arbitration may be obtained and claims may be filed at any office of the National Arbitration Forum or at P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405.
can obtain towing or mechanical assistance. If the spare tire is not properly inflated, do not resume driving with that tire unless you have no other option, in which case you should drive only as slowly as is safely possible in the traffic conditions until you can both get the spare tire properly inflated and have it checked by a tire professional to ensure that it is safe to use. PROPER INFLATION WARNING DO NOT DRIVE UNNECESSARILY ON IMPROPERLY INFLATED TIRES.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS): Your vehicle is likely equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires mounted on your vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire pressure falls below a predetermined level. A TPMS should not replace monthly manual pressure checks for all four tires and the spare. You should manually monitor and check tire pressure inflation with a pressure gauge.
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle when one or more tires experience a rapid air loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal limits and driving conditions. SPEED RATING SYSTEM The speed rating of a tire indicates the speed category (or range of speeds) at which the tire can carry a load under specified service conditions.
“Z” Rated Tires When “Z” appears in the size description with the service description, the maximum speed is indicated by the service description. Examples: Tire Designation Maximum Speed P275/40ZR17 P275/40R17 93Y P275/40ZR17 93Y P275/40ZR17 (93Y) Above 240 km/hr (149 mph)* 300 km/hr (186 mph) 300 km/hr (186 mph) Above 300 km/hr (186 mph)* *Consult Tire Manufacturer For tires having a maximum speed capability above 240 km/hr (149 mph), a “Z” may appear in the size designation.
with a properly inflated spare at once and have your tires, including the spare, inspected by a tire professional. A tire that hits a road hazard or object can be damaged but not have any visible sign of damage on its surface. A tire damaged by an impact can suddenly fail a day, a week, or even months later. You may not recall having hit an object or a road hazard and may not see any tire damage, but such an event may have damaged one or more of your tires.
TREAD WEAR BARS INDICATE THE LIMIT OF TREAD LIFE BFGOODRICH® tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the tire tread grooves at 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm). When the tread remaining matches the height of the Wear Bars, your tires must be replaced to ensure tire safety. Tires worn beyond this stage are extremely dangerous. For more information on checking tread depth, visit the “Tires 101” page at bfgoodrichtires.com and read the illustrated how-to information on tire inspection.
TIRE MIXING WARNING DO NOT DRIVE ON IMPROPERLY MIXED TIRES. BFGOODRICH® tires are radial tires. For best, safe performance, the same size and type of tire should be used on all four wheel positions, and the full size spare should be the same size and type. Before mixing tires of different types in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle manufacturer’s owner‘s manual for its recommendations.
Full-size Spare Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and construction should be used in a five-tire rotation and should be inspected by a tire professional during routine tire inspection. Always have spare tires inspected before installation. Tires are composed of various types of rubber compounds and other materials having performance properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire. These component properties change over time.
TIRE REPAIRS WARNING DO NOT DRIVE ON IMPROPERLY REPAIRED TIRES OR ON MISMATCHED TIRES AND RIMS. WHENEVER A REPAIR IS NEEDED, IMMEDIATELY SEE YOUR BFGOODRICH® TIRE RETAILER OR, IF ONE IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE, ANOTHER QUALIFIED TIRE PROFESSIONAL If any BFGOODRICH® tire sustains a puncture, have the tire demounted and thoroughly inspected by a qualified tire professional for possible damage that may have occurred.
PROPER TIRE MOUNTING Tire mounting can be dangerous and must be done by professionally trained persons using proper tools and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA). Your tires should be mounted on wheels that are the correct size and type and are in good, clean condition. Wheels that are bent, chipped, rusted (steel wheels) or corroded (alloy wheels) may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign material.
SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES INCLUDING SPARE TIRES Tires are composed of various types of material and rubber compounds having performance properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire itself. These component properties evolve over time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors such as weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation pressure, maintenance etc.) to which the tire is subjected throughout its life.
• KEEP TIRES AND WHEELS PROPERLY ALIGNED, BALANCED, AND ROTATED. • HAVE MOUNTING AND REPAIRS DONE BY A TIRE PROFESSIONAL. • IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT YOUR BFGOODRICH TIRE RETAILER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL CAN LEAD TO ERRATIC VEHICLE BEHAVIOR OR TIRE DAMAGE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
