Product Warranty

WEAR BARS
BFGoodrich
®
tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the tire tread
which show up when only 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) 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 decal 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
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 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 which have been run underinflated will show
more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread.
TIRE MIXING
BFGoodrich
®
tires are radial tires and for best performance it is
recommended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel
positions. 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.
