DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result
in sudden tire destruction. For replacement tires, the correct
inflation pressure will be provided by your tire retailer. If not,
refer to the vehicle placard. The placard indicates the minimum
inflation pressures which must be maintained. However, do not
exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire
sidewall.
If your vehicle is equipped with Comp T/A
®
or
g-Force
T/A
®
SSS (Self Supporting Structure) tires and a pressure warning
system, it is essential that you read and understand the
programming, operating, and maintenance instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the low tire pressure warning
system installed on your vehicle.

The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated
BFGoodrich
®
SSS tire, (whether front or rear) are not the same
as those of a
vehicle with normally inflated tires.
A BFGoodrich
®
SSS tire can build up excessive heat when run underinflated for
an extended period of time. You can travel up to 200 miles at
50 miles per hour on a completely deflated SSS tire. The length
of time and distance that an SSS tire will perform at low or zero
air pressure will depend upon the severity of the event causing
the air loss, the ambient temperature, the speed at which the
tire is operated, and the conditions under which the tire is
operated (i.e. hard braking, cornering, load, speed, and other
sharp maneuvers will greatly reduce the length of time the tire
can perform at low or zero air pressure.) Avoid high speeds
and hard cornering whenever a low tire pressure warning is
activated.
Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead to sudden tire
destruction. If a tire at low or zero pressure begins to vibrate or
cause difficulty in vehicle handling, remove the tire immediately
and replace with the spare.
