If the tire pressure is at or below 18 PSI, proceed to the
nearest Authorized PAX System 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
thoroughly 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
pressure check, have the tire inspected at once by an
Authorized PAX
®
System tire retailer (or representative of
your vehicle manufacturer if your vehicle owner’s manual so
advises.) Failure to do so may cause irreparable damage to
the tire and 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.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at
high speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for
example is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover, driving at
high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid accidents and
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each
type of PAX System tire will cause the tire to build up excessive heat which
can cause tire damage that 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.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as
indicated by the legal limits and driving conditions.
