INSPECT YOUR TIRES - DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED
TIRE OR WHEEL
Hazards
Driving over potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood debris and the
like, can damage a tire and should be safely avoided.
Unavoidable contact with such hazards should prompt a
thorough tire inspection.
If you see damage to your tires or wheels, replace with a spare
and immediately visit any participating BFGoodrich
®
tire
retailer for advice.
Inspection
When inspecting your tires, including the spare, check air
pressures. If the pressure check indicates that one of your tires
has lost pressure of two psi or more, look for signs of
penetrations, 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 participating BFGoodrich
®
tire
retailer at once. Use of a damaged tire could result in
sudden tire destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to
control a vehicle when one or more tires experience a
sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
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
BFGoodrich
®
tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the
tire tread which show up when only 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage, tires must be
replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage are dangerous.
