SSS TIRES CHECK INFLATION
PRESSURES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOLLOWING A LOW
PRESSURE WARNING
Low pressure warning systems are designed to warn the driver
of a low tire pressure situation in at least one tire on the
vehicle. While your SSS tires are designed to provide continued
mobility in the event of an air loss, the sooner you respond to a
warning and take corrective action, the greater the likelihood
that the damage to the tire can be repaired.
Always visually inspect your BFGoodrich
®
SSS tires and
use an accurate pressure gauge to check the air pressure
in all 4 tires following any low pressure warning.
If the tire pressure is at or below 18 psi, proceed to the
nearest participating BFGoodrich
®
tire retailer (or a
representative of your vehicle manufacturer if advised to
do so in your vehicle owner's manual) and have the tire
demounted and inspected for possible internal damage.
If you are unable to see any damage to the tire, and the
tire pressure is more than 18 psi, reinflate your tire to
the proper air pressure (See instructions for checking
pressures when tires are hot.) When tires have cooled,
check air pressure again. If any tire has lost more than
5 psi from the previous check, have the tire inspected at
once by a participating BFGoodrich
®
tire retailer. (Or a
representative of your vehicle manufacturer if advised
to do so in your vehicle owner's manual). Failure to do
so may cause irreparable damage to the tire which may
result in sudden tire destruction and personal injury.
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.
