BFGOODRICH

DOES NOT RECOMMEND MIXING SELF SUPPORTING

STRUCTURE (SSS) TIRES WITH NON-SSS TIRES OTHER THAN THE

TEMPORARY USE OF THE SPARE TIRE.

WINTER DRIVING

Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association (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.

While All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable

performance in some winter conditions, the use of

four (4) winter tires is recommended for optimum

performance. Tires designated for use in severe

winter conditions are marked on at least one

sidewall with the letter “M” and “S” plus a

pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on it.

TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT

To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires.

Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for instructions on tire rotation. If you

do not have an owner‘s manual for your vehicle, BFGoodrich

recommends

rotating your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km).

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 which show the direction the tire should turn.

Care must be taken to maintain the proper turning direction.

Determine whether rotated tires require tire inflation adjustment as 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 different sized tires mounted on the front and

rear axles, and these different sized tires have rotation restrictions. Always

check the vehicle owner’s manual for the proper rotation

recommendations.

FULL-SIZE SPARE

Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and

construction should be used in a five (5) tire rotation. Always check the

inflation pressure of the full-size spare immediately before incorporating it

into rotation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pattern for

rotation, or if not available, see a qualified tire technician.

REPLACEMENT OF TWO (2) TIRES

It is recommended that all four (4) tires are replaced at the same time.

However, whenever only two tires are replaced, the new tires should be

put on the rear. The new tires, with deeper tread, may provide better grip

and water evacuation in wet driving conditions.
