B.F. Goodrich Tire Automobile Parts User Manual

Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted,
have new valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires
must be mounted only on wheels designed for tubeless tires,
i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges.
It is recommended that you have your tires and wheels
balanced. Tires and wheels which are not balanced may cause
steering difficulties, a bumpy ride, and irregular tire wear.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. The valve
cap is the primary seal against air loss.

SSS tires are tubeless tires designed
to operate in emergency conditions at low or zero air pressure.
These tires can be more difficult to mount than conventional
tires. They should be mounted and demounted only by a
properly trained tire
professional. These tires can generate a
tremendous amount of heat when run at low or zero pressure.
ALWAYS ALLOW THE TIRE TO COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
HANDLE IT. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary spare tire, be sure to follow the
vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE RECOMMENDED
