For Example Only: Gauge reading of hot tire:...32 psi (220 kPa) If recommended cold inflation pressure is: ...30 psi (205 kPa) Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4 psi = 34 psi (205 + 30 = 235 kPa) Therefore: add 2 psi ...(15 kPa) Check cold pressure as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours. "Bleeding" air from hot tires could result in under inflation. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow children to inflate or deflate tires. Always make certain valve caps are installed on all tire valves to keep out dirt and moisture. 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. If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with the spare at once and visit a participating Tire Retailer. Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each type of 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. 30

“Bleeding” air from hot tires could result in under inflation. Use an accu-
rate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow children to inflate or de-
flate tires. Always make certain valve caps are installed on all tire valves
to keep out dirt and moisture.
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on the speedom-
eter. 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 be-
hind the spinning tire.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions, do not engage in ex-
cessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor excessively, particularly with auto-
matic 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 avail-
able to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with the spare at once and
visit a participating Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each type of
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 acci-
dent.
