driving habits for your own benefi t.

conditions

y

 Avoid fast starts, stops and turns

y

 Avoid potholes and objects on the road

y

 Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking

CAUTION

  If you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving or you suspect your tire 
or vehicle has been damaged, immediately reduce your speed. Drive with caution until 
you can safely pull off  the road. Stop and inspect the tire for damage. If the tire is under-
infl ated or damaged, defl ate it, remove the tire and rim and replace it with your spare tire. 
If you cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to 
have the vehicle inspected.
