Safety Maintenance Information Improper tire mounting and inflation and overloading may cause serious injury or property damage. Maxxis recommends that you read and follow all safety information contained in the tire safety information section of this booklet, vehicle placard in the Vehicle and/or the Vehicle Owner's Manual. Information regarding safety and maintenance also can be found on the sidewall of the Tire. Please also comply with the following: • Check air pressure every month when tires are "cold." Use an accurate tire air pressure gauge. Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot. Proper inflation is essential. Under inflation produces flexing of the sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that premature tire failure may occur. Over inflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage. • Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and maximum inflation pressure are molded into the sidewall of your tire. Overloading builds up excessive heat and can lead to early tire failure. • Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and curbs) which may cause internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has suffered internal damage, which may not be visible externally, can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination of internal damage will require dismounting of the tire and examination by trained tire personnel. • Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause the tire beads to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on the rim. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by manufacturer's design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended pressure to seat the beads. Only trained tire personnel should mount tires. • Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32nd inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth) increases the probability of tire failure. • Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire failure. • Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (8,000 to 12,000 kilometers). 32

Safety Maintenance Information
Improper tire mounting and inflation and overloading may cause
serious injury or property damage. Maxxis recommends that you
read and follow all safety information contained in the tire safety
information section of this booklet, vehicle placard in the Vehicle
and/or the Vehicle Owner’s Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following:
•
Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an accurate
tire air pressure gauge. Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot.
Proper inflation is essential. Under inflation produces flexing of the
sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that premature tire failure
may occur. Over inflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to
impact damage.
•
Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and maximum
inflation pressure are molded into the sidewall of your tire.
Overloading builds up excessive heat and can lead to early tire failure.
•
Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and curbs)
which may cause internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has
suffered internal damage, which may not be visible externally, can lead
to dangerous tire failure. Determination of internal damage will require
dismounting of the tire and examination by trained tire personnel.
•
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause the tire
beads to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on
the rim. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads. Do not
exceed the maximum recommended pressure to seat the beads. Only
trained tire personnel should mount tires.
•
Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32
nd
inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth)
increases the probability of tire failure.
•
Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire
failure.
•
Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
(8,000 to 12,000 kilometers).
