TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on the
speedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running, unloaded tire can cause it
to “explode” from centrifugal force. The energy released by such an
explosion is sufficient to cause serious physical injury or death. Never allow
anyone to stand near or behind the spinning tire.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions, do not engage
in excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor excessively, particularly
with automatic transmission vehicles, may cause a drive tire that has lost
traction to spin beyond its speed capability. This is also true when
balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using the vehicle
engine to spin the tire/wheel assembly.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at
high speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for
example is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover, driving at
high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid accidents and
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with the
spare at once and visit a participating BFGoodrich Tire
Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for
each type of BFGoodrich
®
tire will cause the tire to build up
excessive heat which can cause tire damage that could result in
sudden tire destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to control a
vehicle when one or more tires experience a sudden air loss can
lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as
indicated by the legal limits and driving conditions.
