TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATIONTIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
WARNING (continued)
Do not operate your vehicle with more than one temporary spare
in use (this does not apply to a full size spare), and only operate it
at limited speeds and distances as indicated on the sidewall of the
tire.
The “T” Type temporary spare tire may lower ground clearance
when used. Avoid driving over large obstacles and other road
hazards. Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual for other special
clearance precautions when using the “T” Type temporary spare
tire provided in your vehicle.
TIRE STORAGE
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool dry place where water
cannot collect inside the tires. The tires should be placed away
from harmful ozone-producing electric generators and motors and
sources of heat such as hot pipes. Storage surfaces should be
clean and free of grease, gasoline, or other substances, which can
deteriorate the rubber.
COMPETITION TIRE STORAGE
The rubber compounds used in these tires have unique properties
that, when compared to other tires, can cause them to lose some
of their fl exibility when used or handled in conditions below 15°F
(-9°C). This loss in fl exibility can lead to potential cracking and other
damage to the tire. To minimize the chances of this happening, you
are advised to follow these instructions:
1. Do not move or operate the car with these tires in
conditions below 15°F (-9°C).
2. Avoid moving these tires in conditions below 15°F (-9°C).
3. Before mounting and dismounting, store these tires for at
least 24 hours in a temperature-controlled environment of
68°F (20°C) or warmer.
4. Remove these tires from the vehicle and defl ate to half the
normal air-pressure during prolonged periods of non-use
or storage.
Always inspect tires for signs of cracking and never use tires
that have cracked.
WARNING
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be
visible and could lead to serious personal injury or death.
