WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE
IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE
FROM YOUR TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE
EACH MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive vibration,
your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These conditions not only
shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the handling characteristics
of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If you detect irregular wear
or vibration, have your alignment and balance checked immediately. Tires
which have been run underinflated will show more wear on the shoulders
than in the center of the tread.
TIRE MIXING
BFGoodrich
®
tires are radial tires and for best performance it is
recommended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel
positions. 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. It is especially important to check the vehicle
manufacturer’s owner’s manual when mixing, matching, or replacing tires
on 4-wheel drive vehicles, as this may require special precautions.
WINTER DRIVING
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) definition of
snow tires are marked M/S, M+S, or M&S. On such tires, this designation is
molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recommended
for winter driving.
While All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable performance in
some winter conditions, the use of four (4) winter tires is recommended for
optimal performance. Tires designated for use in severe winter conditions
are marked on at least one sidewall with the letter “M” and “S” plus a
pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on it.
