WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE
IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM
MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES
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.
TIRE MIXING
Uniroyal
®
tires are radial tires and for best performance it is recommended
that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel positions. 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.
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, Uniroyal 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
