TIRE TIPS Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to improper maintenance or other service factors, creating a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury. For your safety, comply with the following tire tips. CHECK AIR PRESSURE in tires at least monthly when tires are "cold" (or when vehicle has been driven less than two kilometers at moderate speed). You are strongly urged to buy and use a an accurate tire pressure gauge, since automatic service station gauges may be inaccurate. Do not reduce pressure when tires are "hot". NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR TIRES. The maximum load carrying capability and maximum allowable inflation pressure are molded into the sidewall of a tire. Overloading builds up excessive heat in the tire and leads to early failure. AVOID DAMAGING OBJECTS (e.g., chuckholes, rocks, curbs, glass,etc.) which may possibly cause internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has suffered internal damage (which may not be externally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination of suspected internal damage requires dismounting the tire from it's rim and examination by trained tire personal. PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY CAN RESULT FROM THE FOLLOWING CAUSES: Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause tire beads to break with explosive force during the installation of the tire on the rim. Use of worn out tires (less than 1.6 mm (2/32") remaining tread depth) increase the probability of tire failure. Excessive speed or racing creates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire failure. Excessive wheel spinning when freeing a vehicle from sand, mud, snow, gravel or ice can result in explosive tire disintegration or vehicle differential failure. Do not exceed 55 km/h (35 m.p.h.) as indicated on the speedometer.
