BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY W A R R A N T Y IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Owner-User's Obligation It is the owner-user's obligation to operate tires within tire load and specification limits and at cold air pressures specified by the vehicle manufacturer for load and speed according to individual tire size, type and load capacity. It is also the owner-user's obligation to maintain proper alignment of wheels and to maintain proper balance of tire/wheel assemblies. In case of adjustment claim, the owner-user must present the tire to a Bridgestone/Firestone retailer; complete and sign the customer section of the Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc., warranty claim form; and pay appropriate replacement price, taxes and service charges. We strongly recommend that you have your Bridgestone/Firestone retailer inspect your tires any time you notice irregular or uneven treadwear or every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This service is free. Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in use as a result of punctures, impact damage, improper inflation, overloading or other conditions resulting from use or misuse. Tire failure may create a risk of property damage, serious personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of tire failure, we strongly recommend that you read and follow all safety information discussed in these pages. Safety Warning Serious personal injury or death may result from a tire failure. Many tire failures are preceded by vibration, bumps, bulges or irregular wear. If a vibration occurs while driving your vehicle or you notice a bump, bulge or irregular wear, have your tires and vehicle evaluated by a qualified service person. 38 Y o u r W a r r a n t i e s i n D e t a i l
