WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY
• TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING
Improper tire mounting and ination procedures may cause
tire beads to break with explosive force during installation
of the tire on the rim, causing personal injury and property
damage. Follow the Rubber Manufacturers Association
(RMA) installation and safety procedure for mounting and
inating tires. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts
must match in size. Rim parts must match by manufacturer’s
design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads. Do not exceed
the maximum recommended pressure to seat beads on rim.
Use remote control ination equipment and ination cage.
Note: Never inate over 40 psi to seat beads. Mount radial-
ply tires only on rims designated by wheel manufacturer as
suitable for radial tires. Only specially trained persons shall
mount tires.
• AIR PRESSURE
Check the pressure in your tires, including your spare,
at least monthly, and always before and during extended
driving, when tires are cold (at least 3 hours after the vehicle
has been stopped and before it is driven more than 1 mile/1.6
km). Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot: use an
accurate air pressure gauge to check pressure and maintain
it at the level recommended on the vehicle tire placard or in
the owner's manual. Underination produces extreme exing
of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that premature
tire failure may occur. Overination can cause the tires to
be more susceptible to impact damage. Cold tire pressures,
however, should never be higher than the limit molded on the
sidewall.
• LOAD LIMITS
Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto the
sidewall of your tires or the maximum vehicle load limit
as shown on the vehicle tire placard, whichever is less.
Overloading builds up excessive heat in the tire and leads to
early and/or sudden failure.
• HAZARDS
Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks, curbs,
metal, glass, etc.) which may possibly cause internal tire
damage. Continued use of a tire that has suffered internal
damage, which may not be externally visible, can lead to
dangerous tire failure. Determination of suspected internal
damage requires demounting the tire from its rim and
examination by trained personnel.
• WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained
personnel when 2/32” (1.6 mm) of remaining tread depth,
as indicated by tread wear indicators molded into the tread
grooves. Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32” remaining
tread depth) increases the possibility of tire failure. In most
states, it is illegal to drive with less than 2/32” of remaining
tread depth.
• SPEED LIMITS
Operating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed limits or
the maximum speeds justied by driving conditions can be
dangerous. Excessive speed creates heat buildup in a tire,
leading to possible tire failure.
• SPEED-RATED TIRES
Speed-rated tires are identied by letters P, Q, S, T, H, V, W
or Z as either part of the size designation (e.g., HR) or part
of the service description adjacent to the size designation
(e.g., 94H) and indicate the maximum speed capability of the
tire when properly loaded and inated. However, even when
properly loaded and inated, driving for prolonged periods
at high speeds can cause tire damage and possible tire
failure which could lead to an accident. Original equipment
speed-rated tires must be replaced with tires of the same or
higher speed rating if the speed capability of the vehicle is to
be maintained. Consult your Kumho dealer for the tires best
suited to your vehicle driving habits. Repair of speed-rated
tires must be done in accordance with RMA repair procedures
and is limited to one 1/3 diameter repair in the tread area.
• TIRE ROTATION
Rotate your tires for longer tire life. Front and rear tires
perform different jobs and wear differently. Consult your
vehicle owner's manual for mileage recommendations and
rotation patterns.
