CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, OR
SUSPENSION ON SUVS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as
SUVs and light trucks do not have the same handling characteristics as
automobiles. Because of these differing characteristics, failure to operate
your SUV/truck in a proper and safe manner can increase the likelihood of
vehicle rollover. Modications to your SUV/truck tire size, tire type, wheels
or suspension can change its handling characteristics and further increase
the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Whether your SUV/truck has the original
equipment conguration for tires, wheels and suspension or whether any
of these items have been modied, always drive safely, avoid sudden,
sharp turns or lane changes and obey all trafc laws. Failure to do so may
result in loss of vehicle control leading to an accident and serious injury
or death.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage which can result
in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable due to alterations such
as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, or the
use of tire dressing containing petroleum distillates are excluded from
warranty coverage.
REPAIRS – WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR
UNIROYAL TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE
If any Uniroyal tire sustains a puncture, have the tire demounted and
thoroughly inspected by any Uniroyal tire retailer for possible damage that
may have occurred.
A tread area puncture in any Uniroyal
®
passenger or light truck tire can
be repaired provided that the puncture hole is not more than 1/4” in
diameter, not more than one radial cable per casing ply is damaged, and
the tire has not been damaged further by the puncturing object or by
running underinated. Tire punctures consistent with these guidelines can
be repaired by following the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
recommended repair procedures.
TIRE REPAIRS
Repairs of all tires must be of the combined plug and inside patch type.
Plug only repairs are improper. A tire should be removed from the rim
and inspected prior to repair. Any tire repair done without removing the
tire from the rim is improper. An improperly repaired tire will cause further
damage to the tire by either leaking air or allowing air, moisture and
contaminants to enter the structure of the tire. An improperly repaired
tire can fail suddenly at a later date.
Never repair a tire with less than 2/32nds of an inch tread remaining. At
this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
