HANKOOK'S OBLIGATIONS Replacement qualifying under this warranty will be made by a participating Hankook Dealer or a participating Car Dealer. TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause tire beads to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on the rim, causing personal injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber Manufacturers Association installation and safety procedure for mounting and inflating tires. 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 beads on rim. Use remote control inflation equipment and inflation cage. ● ● NOTE: Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads. Mount radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel manufacturer as suitable for radial tire. Only specially trained persons shall mount tires. AIR PRESSURE Check the pressure in your tires, including your spare, at least monthly, and always before and during extended driving. Check tires cold (at least 3 hours after the vehicle has been stopped and before it is driven more than 1.6 kilometers or 1 mile). Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot, use an accurate air pressure gauge to check pressure and maintain it at the level recommended on the vehicle tire placard or in the Owner's Manual. Underinflation produces extreme flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that premature tire failure may occur. Overinflation can cause the tires to be more susceptible to impact damage. Cold tire pressures, however, should never be higher than the limit molded on the sidewall. LOAD LIMITS Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto the sidewall of your tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the vehicle tire placard, whichever is less. Overloading builds up excessive heat in the tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure. HAZARDS Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks, curbs, metal, 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 demounting the tire from its rim and examination by trained tire personnel. (Continued on next page)
