LOADING
DO NOT DRIVE ON OVERLOADED
TIRES. DRIVING ON ANY
OVERLOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS.
WARNING
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 to ensure that your tires are not overloaded.
Tires loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular
application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire
failure and an accident. 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 your Uniroyal tire retailer
for advice about the correct tire size and pressures. Tire size and pressures
will depend on 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 information placard that came on your vehicle,
(located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove
compartment door) 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
DO NOT DRIVE ON UNEVENLY WORN,
OUT OF ALIGNMENT, OR
UNBALANCED TIRES.
WARNING
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. Read and follow the instructions on tire
rotation and replacement below.
TIRE MIXING
DO NOT DRIVE ON IMPROPERLY
MIXED TIRES.
WARNING
UNIROYAL® 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.
