IMPACT DAMAGE
A tire impacted by a road hazard (curb, pothole, debris) may be damaged
but not have visible signs of damage on its surface. A tire damaged by an
impact may sustain a sudden failure a day, week, or even months later. You
may not recall hitting an object that damaged or injured your tires. Air loss,
unusual tire wear, localized wear or vibrations can also be signs of internal
tire damage.
If you suspect any damage to your tire or wheel from an
impact with a curb, pothole, debris on the road or any other road
hazard, or if you feel or hear any unusual vibration, replace with a
properly inflated spare at once and immediately visit any qualified
tire technician.
INSPECTION
When inspecting your tires, including the spare, check the air pressures. If
the pressure check indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of two
pounds or more, look for signs of penetration, valve leakage or wheel
damage that may account for the air loss.
Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations and abnormal
tire wear, particularly on the edges of the tire tread, which may be
caused by misalignment or underinflation. If any such damage is
found, the tire must be inspected by any Uniroyal
®
tire retailer at
once. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire destruction.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as hard
cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads which are in
poor condition, and off road use. Roads with holes and rocks or other objects
can damage tires and cause misalignment of your vehicle. When driving on
such roads, drive carefully and slowly, and before driving again at normal
or highway speeds, examine your tires for any damage, such as cuts, bulges,
penetrations, unusual wear patterns, etc.
WEAR BARS
Uniroyal
®
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 Uniroyal 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.
