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.
LOADING
DO NOT DRIVE ON OVERLOADED
TIRES. DRIVING ON ANY
OVERLOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS.
WARNING
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 to ensure that your tires are not overloaded.
Tires loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular
application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire failure
and an accident. 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 your BFGoodrich tire
retailer for advice about the correct tire size and pressures. Tire size and
pressures will depend on 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.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE
IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE
FROM YOUR TIRES.
DO NOT DRIVE ON UNEVENLY WORN,
OUT OF ALIGNMENT, OR
UNBALANCED TIRES.
WARNING
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 your tire out of 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 that have been run underinflated will show
more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread. Read and
follow the instructions on tire rotation and replacement below.
