TIRE DISABLEMENT SAFETY WARNING
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, impact
damage, improper ination, overloading or other conditions resulting from use
or misuse. Tire failures, such as a rapid air loss or a tread and belt detachment,
may increase risk of injury or death and/or property damage. To reduce the
risk of a tire failure, Uniroyal recommends you thoroughly read and follow
the recommendations in this Uniroyal
Limited Warranty/Owner’s Manual, the
vehicle owner’s manual, tire placard information, and tire sidewall information
regarding safety warnings, proper tire use and maintenance.
CONTROLLABILITY
CONTROLLING A VEHICLE WHEN A TIRE FAILURE OCCURS
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, and/
or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire. If possible, step
on the accelerator momentarily to maintain forward momentum and
ensure vehicle control. It is important that you DO NOT BRAKE OR
ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. Slowly remove your foot from
the accelerator and hold the steering wheel rmly while steering to remain
in your lane. Once the vehicle has slowed and is fully under control, apply
the brakes gently; safely pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop.
Inspect the tires. If one or more tires look at or low, show detachment or
other damage, remove tire assembly and replace it with a properly inated
spare. Bumps or bulges may indicate detachment within the tire body and
require inspection by a qualied tire technician.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any underinated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden
tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the tire
decal on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle owner’s manual for decal
location) for the recommended operating pressures. For replacement tires,
the correct ination pressure will be provided by your tire retailer; if not,
refer to the vehicle decal.
These ination pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However, do
not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURES IN ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH
Failure to maintain correct ination may result in improper vehicle handling
and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire destruction, loss
of vehicle control and serious personal injury. Therefore, ination pressures
should be checked at least once each month and always prior to long
distance trips. This applies to all tires, including sealant types, and Self-
Supporting tires which are as susceptible to losing air pressure as any other
type of tire if not properly maintained.
