CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, OR
SUSPENSION ON SUVS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as
SUVs and light trucks do not
have the same handling characteristics as
automobiles. Because of these differing characteristics, failure to operate
your SUV/truck in a proper and safe manner can increase the likelihood of
vehicle rollover. Modifications to your SUV/truck tire size, tire type, wheels
or suspension can change its handling characteristics and further increase
the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Whether your SUV/truck has the original
equipment configuration for tires, wheels and suspension or whether any
of these items have been modified, always drive safely, avoid sudden, sharp
turns or lane changes and obey all traffic laws. Failure to do so may result
in loss of vehicle control leading to an accident and serious injury or death.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage which can result
in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable due to alterations such
as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, or the
use of tire dressing containing petroleum distillates are excluded from
warranty coverage.
REPAIRS - WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR PAX
SYSTEM TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE
If any PAX System tire sustains a puncture, have the tire demounted and
thoroughly inspected by any authorized PAX System tire retailer for
possible damage that may have occurred.
A tread area puncture in any PAX System passenger or light truck tire can
be repaired provided that the puncture hole is not more than 1/4” in
diameter, not more than one radial cable per casing ply is damaged, and
the tire has not been damaged further by the puncturing object or by
running underinflated. Tire punctures consistent with these guidelines can
be repaired by following the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
recommended repair procedures.
Your PAX System tires must be removed from the wheel for
inspection prior to repair. Do not use plug-only, outside-in, on-the-
wheel repairs. Such repairs are not reliable and may cause further damage
to the tire, potentially resulting in rapid air loss and sudden tire destruction.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes and emollients to protect their outer surfaces from ozone and
weather checking. As the tire rolls and flexes, the waxes and emollients continually
migrate to the surface, replenishing this protection throughout the normal use of
the tire. Consequently, when tires sit outdoors, unused for long periods of time (a
month or more) their surfaces become dry and more susceptible to ozone and
weather checking and the casing becomes susceptible to flat spotting.
