SAFETY INFORMATION have a maximum speed rating of 87 mph (140 km/h). The speed and other ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the retreader and replace the original manufacturer's ratings. IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed ratings equal to or higher than those fitted as original equipment (as indicated on the vehicle tire placard or owner's manual). If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehicle's handling may be affected and the speed capability of the vehicle will be lowered to the maximum speed capability of the replacement tires as indicated in the table above. REMEMBER...High speed driving can be dangerous and may damage your tires. AND...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation pressure is especially important. WINTER/SNOW TIRES - Winter/snow tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall or tires with Q symbols have a speed rating of 100 mph (160 km/h). Winter tires with a speed symbol have a maximum speed rating in accordance with the symbol. INSPECT YOUR TIRES, DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL HAZARDS Objects in the road, such as potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood, debris and the like, can damage a tire and should be safely avoided. Unavoidable contact with such objects should prompt a thorough tire inspection. Anytime you see any damage to your tires or wheels, replace with the spare at once and immediately visit a tire retailer. INSPECTION When inspecting your tires, including the spare, check the air pressures. If the pressure check indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of 2 psi (14 kPa) or more, look for signs of penetration, valve leakage or wheel damage that may account for the air loss. A tire damaged by a road hazard may appear undamaged to you on the outside of the tire. If you suspect your tire may be damaged from striking a road hazard (even when no damage is apparent) have the tire inspected by a tire retailer at once. Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations and abnormal tire wear, particularly on the edges of the tire tread, which may be caused by misalignment or underinflation. If any such damage is found, the tire must be inspected by a tire retailer at once. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire destruction. 65 2013, 2014, 2015 Tire Warranty (stn) Supplement, 4th Printing, February 2014 Canadian_French (fr_can)
