TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
WARNING
Before having your tire repaired, tell your authorized Nitto
®
dealer
if you have used an aerosol puncture sealant to infl ate/seal the
tire. Aerosol puncture sealants could contain a highly fl ammable,
explosive gas.
Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous. An improper
repair can cause further damage to the tire. It could fail suddenly,
which can result in loss of vehicle control and lead to serious
personal injury or death. To insure safety, go to your authorized
Nitto
®
dealer for professional inspection and proper tire repairs.
Cosmetic Tire Alterations Can Be Dangerous! Remember — Do
not perform or allow anyone to perform any alterations to your
tires. Alterations may prevent proper performance, leading to
tire damage, which could result in sudden tire failure and loss of
vehicle control and lead to serious personal injury or death.
Never repair a tire with ⁄” (1.6 mm) or less tread remaining. At
this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
Never repair a tire with a puncture larger than ¼ ” (6.4 mm) in
diameter. Such tires cannot be properly repaired and must be
replaced.
Repairs of all tires (radial and non-radial) must be of the plug
and inside patch type. Using plugs alone on any type of tire is
not a safe repair.
Do not use a rope type plug for repair. A tire must be removed
from the wheel and inspected for interior damage. Any tire
repair done without removing the tire from the wheel is improper
and unsafe.
Never repair a tire with a puncture or other damage outside the
tread area. Do not repair sidewall damage. Such tires cannot be
properly repaired and must be replaced.
