continued
Owner's Obligations
It is your obligation to maintain proper tire inflation pressures as specified by the vehicle manufacturer and to operate the vehicle within tire/vehicle load capacity and speed limitations. It is also your obligation to maintain proper wheel alignment and tire/wheel assembly balance. To request an adjustment, you must present the tire to an authorized Bridgestone brand truck tire retailer. Your vehicle on which the tire was equipped must also be available for inspection. Complete and sign the customer section of the Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC Limited Warranty Form or an electronic version of the Bridgestone Limited Warranty Form and pay appropriate replacement price, taxes, disposal fees, and service charges, if any. Tires accepted for warranty compensation become the property of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC.
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 tire service professional.
To reduce the risk of tire failure, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLCstrongly recommends you read and follow all safety information contained in this manual, tire industry publications such as those published by the Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA),and tire mounting procedures published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)of the U.S.Department of Labor. In addition, we recommend periodic inspection and maintenance, if necessary, by a qualified tire service professional.
Arbitration
You and Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC agree that all claims, disputes, and controversies between you and it, including any of its agents, employees, successors, or assigns, arising out of or in connection with this Limited Warranty, or any other warranties, express or implied, including a failure o~warra.nty and the valid~ty of this arbitration clause, but excluding claims for personal Injury or property damage, shall be resolved by binding arbitration between you and it, according to the formal dispute resolution procedures of the National Arbitration Forum, under the Code of Procedure then in effect.

Information may be obtained and claims may be filed at any office of the National Arbitration Forum or at P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405.
SAFETY WARNING
Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous. Under-inflation causes excessive tire heat build-up and internal structural damage. Over-inflation makes it more likely for tires to be cut, punctured, or broken by sudden impact. These situations can cause a tire failure, even at a later date, which could lead to serious personal injury or death.

increase. If you reduce inflation pressure when your tires are hot, you may dangerously under inflate your tires. If it is necessary to adjust inflation pressure when your tires are "hot," set their inflation pressure to 10 psi (69 kPa) above the recommended cold inflation pressure. Recheck the inflation pressure when the tires are cold. If your tires lose more than 4 psi (28 kPa) per month, the tire, tube (if applicable), valve, or rim/wheel may be damaged. Consult a qualified tire service professional for an inspection. A difference of 5 psi (35 kPa) or more between duals is not recommended. Use valve caps to keep the valves clear of debris and to help guard against inflation pressure loss.
Pressure Loss: Truck tires can lose 2 psi (14 kPa) per month
under normal conditions and can lose 2 psi (14 kPa) for every 10F (5.6C) temperature drop. A puncture, leaking valve, or other damage could also cause inflation pressure loss. If a truck tire loses more than 4 psi (28 kPa) per month, have it checked by a qualified tire service professional.
SAFETY WARNING
Never re-inflate a truck tire that has been run at very low inflation pressure (i.e, 80% or less of normal operating pressure) without a complete inspection of the entire tire. Immediately have the tire demounted and inspected by a qualified tire service professional. The U.S. Department of Transportation requires a pre-trip vehicle inspection. Pre-trip vehicle inspections and preventative maintenance should include cold-tire inflation pressure checks. Don't forget to check the inflation pressure of inside duals. The only correct method for checking inflation pressure is to use an accurate tire inflation pressure gauge. Kicking or thumping a tire wlll only tell you when a tire is totally flat.
Check inflation pressure when the tires are "cold." Tires are considered "cold" when the vehicle has been parked for three hours or more, or if the vehicle has been driven less than a mile at moderate speed.

You should visually inspect your tires during pre-trip vehicle inspections and inflation pressure checks. In addition, have your tires periodically evaluated by a qualified tire service professional when your vehicle is serviced such as routine maintenance intervals, oil changes, and tire rotations. In particular, note the following tips for spotting tire damage:
Tire Repairs
SAFETY WARNING
Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous. An improper repair can be unreliable or permit further damage to the tire. The tire may suddenly fail, causing serious personal injury or death. A complete inspection and repair After striking anything unusual in the roadway, have a of your tire in accordance with Rubber Manufacturers qualified tire service professional demount the tire and inspect it for damage. A tire may not have visible signs of Association (RMA) procedures should be conducted by a damage on the tire surface. Yet, the tire may suddenly fail qualified tire service professional. without warning, a day, a week, or even months later. The comprehensive procedures and recommendations for truck tire repair are beyond the scope of this manual; Inspect your tires for cuts, cracks, splits or bruises in however, note the following: the tread and sidewall areas. Bumps or bulges may indicate a separation within the tire body. Have your tire inspected by a qualified tire service professional. It may be necessary to have it removed from the rim/wheel for a complete inspection. Do not delay performing any necessary repair(s).
The tire must be demounted from the rim/wheel for a complete inspection, inside and out. Some
damage to the tire may only be evident on the interior of the tire. Any tire repair done without removing the tire from the rim/wheel is improper.
Inspect your tires for adequate tread depth. When the tire is worn to the built-in indicators at 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less tread groove depth, or the tire cord or fabric is exposed, the tire is dangerously worn and must be replaced immediately. Federal regulations require steer axle tires to have 4/32 inch (3.2 mm) or greater tread depth on vehicles over 10,000 Ibs (4536 kg) GVWR. Inspect your tires for uneven wear. Wear on one side of the tread or flat spots in the tread may indicate a problem with the tire or vehicle. Consult a qualified tire service professional. Inspect your rims/wheels also. If you have a bent, chipped, or cracked rim/wheel, it must be replaced.
A patch must be applied to the interior of the tire and the puncture hole filled with suitable plug/ stem filler. This helps ensure that the interior of the tire
is adequately sealed to prevent inflation pressure loss and prevents contamination of the steel belts and other plies from the elements (such as water) in the outside world. Using only a plug/stem, or using only a patch, is not a safe or proper repair.
The truck/bus tire puncture repair injury limit to the tread area is 3/8 inch (10 mm). Larger injuries,
or damage in areas outside the tread, should be evaluated and repaired, if possible, by qualified tire service professionals at a full-service repair facility using RMA-approved procedures.
Never substitute a tube for a proper repair or to remedy an improper repair. Not all punctured or damaged tires can be properly repaired; consequently, they must be replaced. Repair and retread, if possible, tires having a tread depth of 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less remaining in any tread groove. Tubes, like tires, should only be repaired by a qualified tire service professional. Any Improper repair voids the tire Limited Warranty. See "Limited Warranty" in this manual.

SAFETY WARNING
SAFETY WARNING
Never tire or by the cause pour or spray any flammable substance into or onto a rim/wheel for any purpose whatsoever. The residue left substance could result in a fire or explosion which may severe injury or death.
r.~.~ ~.~~~ .~ .
Always follow the manufacturer's recommend procedure for securing and raising your vehicle prior to attempting to remove a tire.
SAFETY WARNING
Never put flammable substances such as gasoline or ethyl ether into a tire and light with a match/flame so that the resulting explosion seats the beads of a tubeless tire. This practice is extremely dangerous and may result in a severe explosion or undetected damage to the tire or rim/wheel which may cause a failure resulting in severe injury or death.
SAFETY WARNING
If the tire has internal damage, it may burst with explosive force, causing serious personal injury or death. Always deflate a tire and wheel assembly completely before loosening any lug nut when removing a tire from a vehicle for service or demounting. On dual wheel assemblies, both tires should be deflated and removed before any work is started.
Tires must match the width and diameter requirements of the wheels. For example, 22.5 inch
diameter tires must only be mounted to 22.5 inch diameter rims/wheels. Radial tires must only be mounted to wheels approved for radial tires.
For a tubeless truck tire, always install a new valve, or new valve core and cap, each time a new
or retreaded tire is installed.
This manual is not intended to provide proper training or service procedures for tire mounting, demounting, balancing, rotation, or repair. Please leave these tasks to qualified tire service professionals.
Only specially trained persons should mount tires. For proper mounting procedures, consult the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor and procedures published by the Rubber Manufacturers Association, 1400 K Street, NW Washington, DC 20005 (www.rma.org).
For a tube-type truck tire, always use a new, proper size tube and flap each time a new or retreaded tire is installed.
Use only vegetable oil-based lubricants in mounting or demounting. Always ensure rim components fit properly before inflating.
- Never tap component parts with a tool/hammer/mallet while tire is inflated. - Never attempt to disassemble multi-piece rims while inflated.
SAFETY WARNING
Inflating an unsecured tire is dangerous. If it bursts, it could be hurled into the air with explosive force resulting in serious personal injury or death. Always stand well clear of any tire mounting operation. This is especially important when the service operator inflates the tire. When inflating a tire after mounting on a rim/wheel, always use a safety cage and an extension hose with pressure gauge and Clip-on chuck. Never adjust the inflation pressure of a truck tire unless it is placed in a safety cage or is secured to the vehicle or a tire mounting machine. Never stand or lean over the tire or in front of the valve when inflating.
74
Never inflate a tire beyond 40 psi (275 kPa) to seat the beads. Be absolutely certain beads are fully
seated before adjusting inflation pressure to the level recommended for vehicle operation.

Tire Mixing
SAFETY WARNING
Driving your vehicle with an improper mix of tires is dangerous. Your vehicle's handling characteristics can be seriously affected. You could have an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death. Consult your vehicle owner's manual and a qualified tire service professional for proper tire replacement.
..................................................................................... Tires paired in a dual assembly should be matched in tire construction and dimension. Improperly matched tires may result in irregular wear, rapid wear, and premature tire failure. Failure to match tires in a dual assembly may result in sudden tire destruction. For radial tires, properly paired dimension tolerances are as follows: Diameter: within 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) of each other Circumference: within 3/4 inch (19 mm) of each other

Tire Spinning
SAFETY WARNING
Spinning a tire to remove a vehicle stuck in mud, ice, snow, or wet grass can be dangerous. A tire spinning at a speedometer reading above 35 mph (55 km/h) can in a matter of seconds reach a speed capable of disintegrating a tire with explosive force. Under some conditions, a tire may be spinning at a speed twice that shown on the speedometer. This could cause serious personal injury or death to a bystander or passenger. Never spin a tire above a speedometer reading of 35 mph (55 km/h).
. h
Tire Storage
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool, dry place where water cannot collect inside them. Tires should be placed away from electric generators/motors and sources of heat such as hot pipes. Storage surfaces should be clean and free of grease, gasoline, diesel fuel, or other substances which can deteriorate the rubber.
SAFETY WARNING
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be visible and can lead to a failure resulting in serious personal injury or death. The spare tire in your vehicle is intended to be used as a spare when needed. The spare tire carrier is not intended to be used for long term storage.

Tire Registration
Registration of your tires is an important safety precaution since it enables the manufacturer to notify you in the event of a recall. When you purchase replacement tires, the retailer will provide a registration card on which the tire identification numbers have been recorded; fill in your name and address on the card and mail it promptly. Some retailers may submit the registration for you. You do not need to register original equipment tires on new vehicles as the vehicle manufacturer handles that for you.

Radial
Bias/Diagonal
Radial tire body ply cords are placed straight across the tire from bead to bead. In addition, radial tires have belt plies, which run circumferentially around the tires, under the tread. They constrict the radial ply cords and stabilize the tread area. Bias/Diagonal tires have multiple layers of plies with the cords in adjacent plies running in alternate diagonal directions from bead to bead. The tires may also have narrow plies under the tread, called breakers, with cords that lie in approximately the same direction as the body ply cords.
The type of construction can be determined by looking at the size designation molded on the tire's sidewall. Radial truck tire sizes have an "R" in the size designation while bias/diagonal truck tire sizes have a hyphen in the size description. For example, a 10.00R20 tire is a radial, while a 10.00-20 tire is a non-radial. In addition, ALL radial tires have the word "RADIAL" molded onto the sidewall. All radial truck tires also use an "R" in the size designation, e.g., 285/75R24.5.

Inflation Pressure
For optimum tire performance, proper inflation pressures for the loads being carried must be maintained. The proper inflation pressure can be found in the load and inflation tables of this book. Air pressure of all tires should be checked and corrected weekly with an accurate inflation pressure gauge. Since air expands when heated, tire pressures will increase due to the normal build-up of heat during operation. For this reason, tire pressures should be checked while cold. Do not bleed air from tires while hot. This will result in an under-inflated condition. Under-inflated tires build up excessive heat due to overdeflection and may result in tire deterioration. Operating on an improperly inflated tire will cause severe tire damage. The inflation pressures given are the minimum pressures for the associated load. Do not exceed the maximum loads listed in this book without consulting a Bridgestone Technical Representative. Any tire known or suspected to have been run at 80% or less of normal operating inflation pressure and/or overloading could possibly have permanent structural damage (steel cord fatigue).
Tire Mixing
Tires of different sizes or construction must never be mixed on the same axle. Tires of different construction can be mixed in the following manner: A} TRUCKS WITH TWO AXLES, FOUR WHEELS: Radials can be mixed with bias ply tires providing the radials are mounted in pairs on the rear axle. B} TRUCKS WITH TWO AXLES, SIX WHEELS: (e.g. single axle tractors) Radials can be mixed with bias ply tires providing tires of the same construction are mounted on the same axle. should have tires of the same construction mounted on all drive positions. D} TRAILERS: Bias or radial tires may be used, providing tires on the same axle are of the same construction. Tires of different construction must not be used in dual fitments. Tubeless tires can be mixed with tube-type tires, providing they are of equivalent sizes. E} WIDE BASE & DUALS: Wide base and duals can be mounted together as long as overall diameter is within 1/4 inch.
Dual Matching
Tires in dual assemblies should be matched with regard to design and dimensional tolerances as noted below. Improperly matched duals may result in irregular wear, rapid wear, vehicle mechanical problems and premature tire failure. Failure to match tires in a dual assembly may result in sudden tire destruction. DUAL MATCHING TIRE CONSTRUCTION Radial DIAMETER LIMITS CIRCUMFERENCE

Tire Rotation
Tire rotation is a practical means of reducing tire costs when irregular or rapid wear are prevalent. Rotation patterns, such as those recommended by vehicle manufacturers, may be followed. There are no restrictions on criss-cross rotation. Tires having directional type tread patterns should be mounted in the recommended direction of rotation for optimum performance. For many directional type designs it is permissible to change the direction of rotation after the first 3/32"- 5/32" of tread wear. Contact tire manufacturer for pattern-specific recommendation. The casing, after retreading, may be run in either direction, as the casing is not directional.
Reg roovi ng
Regroove only those tires marked "Regroovable" on the sidewall. Tires with a remaining tread depth of less than 2/32" should not be regrooved. It is recommended that tires exhibiting severe irregular wear not be regrooved. Regrooved tires should not be placed on the front axle. Regrooving should be restricted to the tire's original tread grooves. A minimum rubber gauge of 4/32" must be maintained between the tire's top belt and the re-grooved grooves.
Branding
The location for branding must be chosen carefully due to the thin sidewall gauge. Many sidewalls have branding panels, or designated branding areas as noted in sketch at left. Branding in the wrong location may result in eventual tire failure. It is recommended that the brand be located between the rim line and size panel. Branding depth should be 1/32". Do not brand deeper than 2/32': Bead

Balance/Runout
Tire and wheel imbalance may result in irregular tire wear. Steering axle and drive axle tires should be balanced dynamically for best results. Vibration may also be the result of mismatch of the high and low spots of the tire and wheel. -....,...._~ To resolve vibration problems, the runout of tire and rim should be measured, then matched in the following manner: 1. With the tire mounted on the rim, number both at 12 asymmetrical points. 2. Measure runout at both shoulders of the tire (inside & outside) and record the results. (Note: accuracy in these measurements is essential.) 3. Demount the tire, measure both sides of the rim for runout, record the results, then average the inside and outside measurements. 4. Matching the lowest average point of the rim to the highest average point of the tire, remount the tire, then balance accurately. 5. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure since the tire cannot be measured accurately while on an imperfect rim. Note: If a runout dial is not available, rotate the tire 180 relative to the rim and remount. If the vibration persists, rotate the tire another 90, then another 180. 6. The maximum suggested radial runout for a rotating tire/wheel assembly is 0.095 inches for both front and rear tire positions. If runout exceeds these limits, check for bent rims, cocked rims, improperly adjusted wheel bearings, improper tire bead seating, tire flat spots, improperly tightened rim clamps and rear rim spacers.

Special procedure for improving steering tire run-out on vehicles with hub-piloted wheels
If you suspect high run-out on the steering position and have hub-piloted wheels, use the following procedure to improve the radial run-out. 1. Measure the radial run-out of the tire/wheel assemblies on the vehicle's steering position. Mark the highest and lowest points of the radial run-out on the tire with chalk or other marker.
NO CI rance
2. Remove the tire/wheel assembly and position the hub so that the gap between any two of the hub pilot pads is at 12:00. With the hub in this position place the tire/wheel assembly on the hub so that the high point mark is at the top (12:00). Carefully tighten one nut with a hand wrench until it is snug enough to hold the wheel securely. Reposition the wheelan the hub pilot pads while tightening. (Don't use an air wrench to tighten the first nut. It will reposition the wheel and not let gravity keep the wheel in contact with the hub pads that are at the top). After the first nut is tightened with the hand wrench, tighten all nuts according to sequence and procedure shown in fMC RP 222, IIser's Guide to Wheels and Rims.

If you have followed this procedure correctly, you will find there is clearance between the hub pads and the wheel pilot hole at the bottom and no clearance at the top (See Figure 7.) shown on previous page. 3. Recheck the radial runout to verify that it has been improved. By locating the high point, repositioning the wheel, putting the high point at the top and re-tightening, gravity should have put the wheel in a better position with
respect to the hub. Improvements up to .020" are common and can greatly improve the ride.

Mounting Radial Truck Tires to Help Reduce Vibration & Irregular Wear
Consistent, correct truck tire mounting is important for proper bead-to-wheel fit, and can help reduce vehicle vibration and irregular wear for better ride and longer original tread life. Important steps: 1. Clean and paint used wheels. 2. Lubricate both tire beads and both wheel seats. 3. Check the assembly for even centering.
Always follow all OSHA, RMA and manufacturer's tire mounting safety precautions!
(See Section on Mounting/Demounting Procedures in this data book.)
1. Remove dirt, rust or corrosion that can interfere with proper seal or damage bead.
5. Inflate assembly to set bead and check for leaks around the wheel.
2. Protect bare metal with primer or anti-rust paint to prevent further corrosion. Allow to dry.
6. Measure distance from molded ring on tire to flange locations, 90 degrees apart.
3. Lubricate the wheel bead seat using vegetable oil-based lubricant approved for both tire and wheel.
7. Distances A, B, C, and 0 should be within 2/32': If they are not, break down, re-Iubricate and mount again.
4. Lubricate tire bead. Do not use petroleum or solvent-based products. They cause rubber to deteriorate.

Storage
All tires should be stored in accordance with the following recommendations: 1. Avoid storing tires in direct sunlight. 2. Avoid storing tires near a heat source or in the path of a direct flow of forced air. 3. Keep tires away from electric motors and generators which produce ozone. 4. Do not store near petroleum products or chemicals (such as oil, grease, gasoline, solvent, etc.). 5. Limit vertical stacking to a maximum of 5 feet in height. 6. Store un-mounted tires indoors in a dry location. Steel radial tires may be severely damaged due to the presence of moisture inside the tire at mounting. Upon pressurization, this moisture can permeate the casing of the tire and cause severe deterioration of the steel cords. 7. Prior to mounting, inspect the inside surfaces of the tire and remove all foreign material and moisture. 8. Keep compressed air sources for tire inflation free of moisture. Failure to follow the above recommendations could result in sudden tire failure, property damage and personal injury.
Tire Inspection
Prior to operating a vehicle, an inspection should be made of each tire, including the spare. Examine tires for cuts, bruises, cracks, bulges and penetrations. If any damage is found, have the tire examined by a Bridgestone dealer. Repair of tire damage must be made as soon as possible in order to avoid further deterioration of the tire structure. Federal law requires that front over 10,000 Ibs. gross vehicle 4/32" tread depth. Tread wear the tread of Bridgestone truck when the tread depth reaches major grooves. axle truck tires on vehicles weight must have at least indicators are contained in tires and become visible 2/32" in two adjacent Tires should also be inspected prior to mounting on a rim. Bridgestone steel radial tube-tvoe truck tires are shipped with the flap in the tire. It is essential that the tire be disassembled and inspected thoroughly prior to mounting to insure the inside surfaces are completely dry and clean. Water in casings of steel radial tires may cause tire failure. During normal operation, heat build-up inside the tire will turn water into vapor which may permeate the inner-liner and enter the steel casing cord, causing rust, deterioration, possible sudden tire failure, property damage and/or personal injury.
DOT
Legal Limits Steering Axle Drive Axle Trailer Axle 4/32" 2/32" 2/32"
Drive and trailer tires should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 2/32" or the wear bars appear since 2/32" is the minimum permissible legal tread depth on all axles except the front.
Noise Regulation
All of Bridgestone's truck tires comply with the noise emissions standards of 80 dB for medium and heavy trucks. Bridgestone uses the Society of Automotive Engineering recommended test procedures SAE J366b (35 MPH) and SAE J57a (50 MPH).

Mounting/Demounting
Proper mounting procedures must be followed or sudden tire destruction, personal injury or death may result. Tire mounting must be done only by personnel trained, supervised and equipped according to Federal OSHA regulations.
Procedures Mounting
Tube-type
Remove the tube and flap from the tire (if installed). Clean and dry the inside of the tire to ensure that all moisture, dirt and foreign material is removed prior to mounting. Install the proper size tube and flap. Always install new Bridgestone radial tubes and radial flaps in new Bridgestone radial tires. Be sure tubes marked "radial" are used in radial tires. Place the tube inside the tire and install the flap, ensuring that the flap is centered. Slightly inflate the tube enough to shape it out. Lubricate the beads, rim side of the flap and the tube base with a vegetable-based lubricant. Do not over-lubricate (inside of tire must stay dry). Mount the tire, tube and flap assembly on the rim. Assemble the rim parts making sure proper components are used and a proper fit is established. When inflating, always place the tire in an approved safety cage or equivalent restraining device and use an extension hose and clip-on chuck. Never stand over a tire while inflating. Do not attempt to seat rim components by tapping with a mallet when tire is inflated.
Demounting
Completely deflate tire by removing the valve core prior to removing the tire and wheel assembly from the truck. Remove tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle and demount the tire from the wheel in the following manner:
Tube-type
Ensure that the tire is completely deflated before removing from the rim. Place the tire on the floor, side-ring side up. Pry the bead loose from the lock ring using the proper tools. Disassemble the rim parts carefully to avoid damage to the tire, tube, flap or rim parts. Turn the wheel over and unseat the second bead from the wheel. Remove the rim from the tire.
Tubeless
Ensure that the tire is completely deflated before removing from the rim. Break the beads loose on both sides of the tire using a bead-breaking tool. Lubricate both beads of the tire using a vegetable oil-based lubricant only. Place the tire and rim on the floor with the wide side of the rim down. Progressively work the tire off the rim using the proper tire irons.
Tubeless
Clean and prepare rim or wheel. Replace valve seals and stem. Lubricate both beads and both rim flanges. Work the tire over the rim flanges using proper tubeless tire tools. Mount the tire over the valve side. Inflate tire in safety cage to seat beads. Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressures shown on tire sidewall/rim.
Prior to Mounting
Clean and prepare rim or wheel - inspect the rim or wheel for damage. Cracked, broken, bent, or otherwise damaged rim components and wheels must not be reworked, welded, brazed or otherwise heated. Never weld a rim with a tire mounted on it or any other time. Proper size tube and flaps (if applicable) must be installed in the tire. New Bridgestone tubes and flaps must be used when mounting new Bridgestone tube type tires. Never use undersized, oversized, or used tubes or flaps. Ensure that rim components are properly matched and that the proper size rim is being used (size, bead taper, etc.). New valves, cores, caps, and O-rings should be installed with new tires. Never mount a damaged tire.

Cautions
Always inflate tire/rim assembly in an approved safety cage or equivalent restraining device, use remote controlled Clip-on air hose, and inflate to pressure recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
HRIOGESTOnE

& light
Always ensure that rim components fit properly before inflating. Never tap component parts with a mallet while the tire is inflated. Never attempt to disassemble multi-piece rims while inflated. Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure on the sidewall of the tire. If beads do not seat at 40 psi, deflate, re-Iubricate and re-inflate.
WARNING: Always replace a tire on a rim with another tire of exactly the same bead diameter as the diameter of the rim on which it will be mounted.
The following diagram shows how the beads of a 16" tire will not seat on a 16.5"rim. The beads should not be forced out against the rim flanges by using more air pressure, because this will break the beads and the tire will explode. Never exceed 40 psi when seating the beads on the rims.

Tire Vibration
SAFETY WARNING: Serious injury or death may result from a tire failure.
Many tire failures are preceded by vibration, bumps, bulges or other anomalies. If an unusual vibration occurs while driving your vehicle or you notice a bump, bulge, or an anomaly not associated with normal tire performance, have your tires and vehicle evaluated by a qualified service person.
Belt Removal
1. The removal of the fourth (outer) belt is permissible. This belt may be omitted when retreading. 2. The removal of the third belt is more involved. If it is essential that the third belt be removed, then it must be replaced before retreading. 3. A nail hole repair of 3/8" or less in diameter may be made in the crown area of either radial or bias tires. A section repair in a radial is required to repair any injury larger than a 3/8" nail hole. 4. Bias section repairs are made when the injury is either larger than 1-1/4"in diameter, is not perfectly round or perpendicular to the liner surface, or when the injury is larger than 3/8"in diameter and combination patch plugs are not used.

SPEED
Every bit of energy produced or used by a truck comes from the fuel in the tank.
To move a truck, you must first run the engine to get power to the tires. With 40 percent engine efficiency, 60 percent of fuel is consumed through engine losses, the remaining 40 percent of fuel is consumed by tire rolling resistance, air resistance and all other mechanical losses. At 55 mph or below tire rolling resistance, air resistance and mechanical losses each account for about 33 percent of the 40 percent of fuel from the engine efficiency. For example, increasing speed from 55 mph to 75 mph can take 39 percent more fuel, and much of that results from air resistance.

LOAD
No one would reduce payload as a way to save fuel, but there are ways to increase payload - by decreasing non-paying load. Wide base tires weigh Significantly less than dual pairs. With some cargoes, this can allow increased payload, and more revenue. If the tires they replace were not fuel-efficient, tires may also contribute to fuel economy. wide base

Tire Contributions
Of the fuel used in moving the vehicle, about 1/4 to 1/3 of it is used to overcome rolling resistance. So if rolling resistance decreases by 10 percent the result is about (1/4 x 10% =) 2.5% to (1/3 X 10% =) 3% decrease in fuel consumption.

Taking action
BCS recommends you conduct your own tests to determine whether your investment will achieve a satisfactory return. Comparing fuel receipts with odometer readings is something you can do yourself, on an ongoing basis, to see if your fuel economy program is working.
TryTLCC
Remember, only BCS has the Tire Ute Cycle Cost (TLCC) program, to help you make informed tire choices. Your BCS representative will help you analyze your current tires (even if they are from BCS competitors), and recommend tires that will produce the lowest overall tire and fuel cost over their useful life.

BULLETIN
he National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has approved a change to the regulation that requires the date of manufacture in the tire identification number to change from 3 digits to 4 digits (2 digits for week + 2 digits for year.) Bridgestone Firestone tire will start to adopt the new regulation for tires produced starting the first DOT week of 2000. Full integration of the 11 digit DOT serial number will be completed during the 2nd quarter of 2000.
Tire dealers will need to list the new 11-digit DOT serial number on Tire Registration Cards and Warranty Claim Forms (both forms have space for 11-digits.)

Issue
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is responsible for inspecting commercial vehicles for safety defects and placing vehicles out of service if defects such as tire separations or exposed cord/fabric are found. The inspectors, in the past have had difficulty distinguishing between sidewall bulges due to repairs (allowed) and tire separations.
Action
In October 1990, the CVSA agreed to accept the use of a blue triangular identification adjacent to a sidewall repair bulge. A vehicle will not be placed out of service if a tire repair bulge is 3/8" or less in height and is identified with an adjacent blue triangle. The retread and repair industry will be incorporating these identification patches into their sidewall repair procedures.

Lateral Stiffness in Tread any drivers are aware of the feel of the trucks used on a daily basis in fleets, and are sometimes sensitive to the ride dynamics of fitment changes of new tire designs on the vehicle. One of the sensations drivers notice is a side-to-side motion. This motion is the byproduct of what is commonly referred to as lateral stiffness. The lateral stiffness of a tire is due in large part to inflation pressure, as well as the tire's tread depth. Both of these factors vary over time. Reduced inflation pressure and deeper tread depth results in lower lateral stiffness. Therefore, some users may comment on experiencing a slight swaying with newly installed extra-deep-tread drive tires, especially under full load or after replacing worn drive tires. The sensation the driver feels is the lateral stiffness effect of the extra-deeptread drive tire compared to the worn tire being replaced and does not affect traction or warrant any concerns. The lateral stiffness improves quickly as the tread wears and a driver will become accustomed to the initial difference in sensation.

II. Procedure
To prevent excessive head buildup in the center of the tire tread, follow the recommended time period based on roller diameter as listed below:
Maximum Allowable Time by Roller Diameter
8-5/8" Roller 18" Roller
3.5 minutes
6 minutes
Load: These time restrictions apply regardless of the actual load and are,
in fact, more critical when the vehicle is tested without a load.
III. Precautions
To avoid the possibility of irreversible tire damage and/or failure during testing, it is important that the following precautions be taken: Do not exceed the time and speed restrictions listed in part II. Allow at least one hour cool down between tests. When it is anticipated that a test will exceed the time/test value established, a worn or "slave" tire should be used in place of the new tire for testing purposes. Questions regarding test procedures, loads, etc. should be directed to your Regional Field Engineering Office.

Always make sure that the repair area is wellventilated so that any gases that are present Will not accumulate.
Never weld or use a cutting torch on a wheel or rim without first completely removing the tire . from the rim. Otherwise, explosions resulting in possible serious or fatal injury can occur, even in the absence of flammable sealer/inflator. Do not use a tire rasp, plug or any object which could cause sparks on a tire or rim without first completely removing the tire from the rim. These ignition sources could lead to an explosion. Do not permit smoking or any flame, spark or other ignition source in the area where tires or rims are being kept.
Never add air to a tire treated with a flammable sealerflnflator Without completely removing the flammable gas. Air added to a tire containing flammable gas may make it more explosive.
BEFORE BEGINNING REPAIRS OR SERVICE ON ANY RIM OR TIRE, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES:
Remove the valve stem completely to release the tire pressure in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks or other ignition sources. After the pressure has been released and before making any repairs, remove the tire from the wheel rim. If you believe a sealer/inflator has been used, wash the inside of the tire with a detergent/water solution and rinse thoroughly. Allow the tire to dry before repairs are made.

OF FIXING TIRES FILLED WITH AEROSOL INFLATORS The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ~A) today
cautioned motorists and urged workers at service stations and auto and tire repair shops to be careful while fixing tires that have been filled with aerosol inflators. According to NHTSA Administra~r Jerry Ralph Curry, many oftbe aerosol inflators contain a flammable propellant that can cause an explosion under certain circumstances. "People in the tire repair business esp8cial1y should be aware of the hazard and take precautions to reduce the risk of an explosion," he said. Aerosol inflators, marketed under various brand names, are widely sold to . the public for temporarily fixing tires that have gone flat because of slow leaks and smaIl punctures, Curry said. He said that despite flammability warniDgs on the caDS and instructions for safe use, many consumers may be unaware of the potential danger. "Aerosol flat tire fixes should be considered 88 emergency, temporary ~airs and used with caution. It is always preferable to have the tire repaired profeesionally or replaced.
"After filling a tire with an aerosol inflator, don't expose the tire to extreme heat, flames, sparks or other ignition~. Be careful ~ metal tools like tire irons, metal reamers and hammers because they could cause sparks while being used to repair a tire," Curry said.
He noted that because aerosol inflators are used 80 commonly. consumers and service personnel should assume a tire may have been repaired previously with an aerosol product. "Before starting to fix a tire, remove the valve core and comJ?letely deflate the tire to eliminate as much.ofthe aerosol propellant as possible. Then, in.flate and deflate the tire a few times to completely remove all traces of the potentially explosive propellant. Once this is done, you may repair the tire without risk of explosion," CUrry said. .

Innertube Storage
nnertubes should always be stored in a sealed enclosure. If the seal is damaged or broken, reseal the enclosure or repackage the affected tubes to prevent premature ozone crack damage on tubes. Exposure to weather, open doors, sunlight, electric motors and fans can cause premature aging of the rubber compound, especially when folded. In addition, tubes stored in tires can be similarly affected if unprotected by a flap or rim. Tubes with ozone crack damage should be replaced. Do not place these in service.

..1 diameter
Always replace a tire on a rim with another tire of exactly the same rim diameter designation and suffix letter. For example a 16" tire goes with a 16" rim. Never mount a 16"size diameter tire on a 16.5" rim. While it is possible to pass a 16" diameter tire over the lip or flange of a 16.5" size rim diameter, it cannot be inflated enough to position itself against the rim flange. If an attempt is made to seat the tire bead by inflation, the tire bead will break with explosive force and could cause serious injury or death. Various materials have been published on the importance of properly matching tire bead and rim diameters prior to attempting to mount the assembly. Listed below is a sampling of that material. Bridgestone:

In addition, any IS" size tire must be mounted only on approved IS" rims not on the 15.5" rim and any 17" size tire must be mounted only on approved Ii' rims not on the 17.5" rim. If mounting of a IS" diameter tire is attempted on a 15.5" rim, or a 16" tire is attempted to be mounted on a 16.5" rim, or a 17" tire is attempted to be mounted on a 17.5" rim, serious injury or death may result.
2. Tire
Safety Warning Serious injury or death may result from an explosion of tire/rim assembly due to the use of excessive pressure during mounting. Never exceed 40 psi (275 kpa) to seat beads. After beads are seated, adjust inflation to pressure recommended by vehicle manufacturer. During tire inflation, always have assembly secured, stand clear, and use remote controlled clip on air hose. Only specially trained persons should mount tires. Mount only on 16 inch" diameter rims.
*Warning: Varies by tire size.

2. "Demounting
WARNING Never inflate beyond 40 pounds pressure to seat beads. Never stand, lean or reach over the assembly during inflation.
Inspect both sides of the tire to be sure that the beads are evenly seated. If tire mounted on a machine that does not have a positive lock-down devices to hold the wheel, inflation should be done in a safety cage. If both beads are not properly seated when pressure reaches 40 pounds, completely deflate the assembly, reposition the tire and/or tube on the rim, relubricate and reinflate. Inflating beyond 40 pounds air pressure when trying to seat the bead is a DANGEROUS PRACTICE that may break a tire bead (or even the rim) with explosive force, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. After the beads are fully seated, pressure may be increased above 40 psi to operating pressures, not to exceed the maximum labeled on the tire sidewall.
Consumer Inquires: If questioned by a consumer on this matter, it is recommended that you stress the following areas:
1. Bridgestone
tires are designed with adequate strength to withstand mounting and demounting stresses when correctly matched to rims of the correct diameter.
WARNING Serious Injury May Result From: Tire failure due to underinflation/ overloading - follow owner's manual or tire placard in vehicle; Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting - only specially trained persons should mount tires.
safely warning permanently molded into the tire sidewall which directs trained personnel to mount only the approved matching rim (example: "Mount only on 16 inch diameter rims.")*
*Waming: Varies by tire size.
WARNING Tire changing can be dangerous and should be done by trained personnel using proper tools and procedures. Always read and understand any manufacturer's warning contained in their customer's literature or molded into the tire sidewall.
Failure to comply with these procedures may result in faulty positioning of the tire and/or rim parts, and cause the assembly to burst with explosive force, sufficient to cause serious physical injury or death. Never mount or use damaged tires or rims.

Before assembling tire and wheel/rim, lubricate tire beads and wheel/rim seat with a vegetable oil-based lubricant formulated for tire and wheel/rim use. Do not use petroleum- or solvent-based products, as they cause rubber deterioration. Failure to lubricate the wheellrim as well as the tire can lead to a non-uniform assembly. The best initial balance is obtained by matching the tire's light spot (marked by a yellow dot or circle) at the wheel/rim valve. 3.
