Check cold pressure as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours.
“Bleeding” air from hot tires could result in underinflation. Use
an accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow children to
inflate or deflate tires.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS):
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires mounted on your vehicle
and sends a signal to the driver if a tire pressure falls below a predetermined
level. A TPMS should not replace monthly manual pressure checks for all four
(4) tires and the spare. We recommend that you manually monitor and check
tire pressure inflation with a pressure gauge.
Your tires should have the recommended pressure listed by your vehicle’s
manufacturer. This information can be found in the vehicle owner’s manual
and often on a placard located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel
hatch, or on the glove compartment door. If you have a plus size fitment that
requires a higher inflation pressure, your tire pressure monitoring system will
require re-calibration to the new inflation pressure. Refer to your tire dealer/
installer of plus size tires for proper inflation pressure.
We recommend checking air pressure once each month, and before a
long trip. Whether you have a full-sized or mini-spare, make sure that it
is properly inflated as well. If the TPMS generates improper monitoring or
signals, we recommend that you consult your owner’s manual provided with
your vehicle and follow-up with your vehicle’s manufacturer.
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 Uniroyal Tire Retailer.

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.
