WEAR BARS
BFGoodrich
®
tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the tire tread
which become visible when only 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is
remaining. At this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond
this stage are extremely dangerous.
DO NOT OVERLOAD – DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED
TIRE IS DANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall. Do
not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions of the manufacturer
of your vehicle and this will ensure that your tires are not overloaded.
Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the
particular application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden
tire destruction. Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for any axle
on your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit any BFGoodrich tire
retailer for advice concerning the correct size tire and pressures. Tire size
and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or tire
load rating be exceeded. Check the tire information placard that came
on your vehicle, located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch,
or on the glove compartment door, and the owner’s manual supplied by
the manufacturer of your vehicle for further recommendations on trailer
towing.
