TIRE MIXING
DO NOT DRIVE ON IMPROPERLY
MIXED TIRES.
WARNING
BFGOODRICH® tires are radial tires. For best, safe performance, the same
size and type of tire should be used on all four wheel positions, and the
full size spare should be the same size and type. 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 that meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association’s (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 in regions that experience winter conditions.
Although All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable performance in
some winter conditions, the use of four winter tires is recommended for
optimal performance. Tires designated for use in severe winter conditions
are marked on at least one sidewall with the letters “M” and “S” plus a
pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on it. If such a tire needs to
be temporarily replaced with a tire not so marked, you should
immediately drive at a safe speed to a BFGoodrich dealer to
have the spare returned to the trunk and replaced on your
vehicle by another tire with the letters “M” and “S” and the
related pictograph.
TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT
To obtain maximum tread life, you must rotate your tires. You should
rotate your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km) or as
specified by your vehicle manufacturer, whichever occurs more frequently.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual for any recommendations by your
vehicle manufacturer. Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended.
Your tires should be rotated at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it
occurs before 6,000 miles (10,000 km). This is true for all vehicles. When
rotating tires with a directional tread pattern, observe the arrows molded
on the sidewall that show the direction in which the tire should rotate.
Care must be taken to maintain the proper rotation direction. Some Tire
Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) may not recognize that a tire has
been moved to a different position on your vehicle. Make certain that
your TPMS system is reset, if necessary, so as to correctly identify the
location of each tire on your vehicle. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual
or your vehicle dealer for this information. Determine whether rotated
tires require tire inflation adjustment, because front and rear position tire
pressure may vary according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification
due to the actual load on that wheel position. Some vehicles may have
tires of different size mounted on the front versus the rear axles, and these
different tires have rotation restrictions. Always check the vehicle owner’s
manual for the proper rotation recommendations.
