TECHNICAL BULLETIN August 2006

Ref. No. P-06-01 (Repl P-03-11) Guidelines for Selection of Replacement Tires --Including Substitute Tire Sizes-With Important Safety Information

To ensure the same performance characteristics intended by the vehicle manufacturer, replacement tires should be selected with the same size, load index, and speed symbol designation as shown on the vehicle tire placard and/or within the vehicle owner's manual. For numerous reasons, consumers may request or require the installation of a tire size that is not the same as the original equipment (OE) tire from the vehicle manufacturer. Substitution examples could be: ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ

"Plus" Sizing Speed Rating changes Passenger Tire vs. Light Truck Tire fitments P-Metric vs. Euro-Metric Standard Load (SL) vs. Extra-Load (XL) or Reinforced fitments A combination of items, including those above

This technical bulletin presents general guidelines and recommendations for tire replacement, including substitute tire sizes, to promote retailer and consumer education, satisfaction, and safety.

! Safety Warning: Certain vehicle performance parameters, including ride comfort and handling, may be affected by substitute tire sizes. In some cases, particularly for SUV's and light trucks, failure to follow vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for tire replacement may adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and make it easier to lose control, leading to a serious or fatal accident. Serious personal injury or death may also result from a tire failure. Proper tire selection, maintenance, and education of the consumer are keys to safety and satisfaction. Review and follow all of the information and steps to ensure size and inflation selections are sufficient to carry the maximum vehicle load and to properly advise the consumer regarding tire selection and performance. In some cases, there is a worksheet that must be filled out, certain documents that are to be provided to the consumer, and/or application of an auxiliary tire placard to the vehicle (see samples in Appendix A of this Manual).

Proper Selection of Replacement Tires There are numerous important recommendations to follow before specifying any replacement tire: Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer's replacement tire recommendations In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against the application of replacement tires that are not the original size or type. Always refer to and follow these recommendations. ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ

Check the vehicle tire placard and/or the vehicle owner's manual for the OE tire size(s), speed symbol, and recommended inflation pressure(s). Carefully note any differences between recommendations for front and rear axle positions regarding the tire size and/or inflation pressure. Note that the vehicle may have specific recommendations regarding winter tires, or other optional tires. If a vehicle tire placard or vehicle owner's manual is not available, consult the vehicle or tire manufacturer for assistance.

In some situations, it may be permissible to select replacement tires that are not the original size or type. Refer to and follow the recommendations and procedures in this technical bulletin, beginning on the following page.

Substitute Tire Sizes In some cases, a consumer may request or require the installation of a tire size that is not the same as the original equipment (OE) fitment. It is impractical to outline every substitute tire size, wheel, and vehicle combination. However, there are numerous important recommendations to follow before specifying a substitute tire size:

Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer's replacement tire recommendations. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against the application of replacement tires that are not the original size or type. Always refer to and follow these recommendations. Under certain circumstances, a vehicle manufacturer may recommend or permit a specific optional tire size, type, inflation pressure, maximum speed, maximum load, etc. ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ

Never select a tire with a smaller size, or with less load carrying capacity, than the tire specified on the vehicle tire placard. Substitute tires should never be inflated below the pressure shown on the vehicle tire placard. Never exceed the maximum load capacity and/or inflation pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Never exceed the maximum load capacity and/or inflation pressure of the wheel. Never utilize an unapproved wheel or one that does not meet the approved rim width range for the selected tire size. Acceptable load capacity and/or overall tire diameter do not imply acceptable vehicle clearance. Body and chassis clearance must be checked on the vehicle's front and rear axles. If a vehicle tire placard or vehicle owner's manual is not available, consult the vehicle or tire manufacturer for assistance.

IN ORDER TO PROPERLY: - Select a substitute tire size, which includes: plus sizing, applying a light truck tire in place of a passenger car tire, and applying Euro-metric in place of Pmetric (or vice-versa) - Select and notify the consumer of the proper inflation pressure ALWAYS: REFER TO THE ABOVE-AND ALL SECTIONS OF THIS BULLETIN AS NEEDED-AND FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE FOR SPECIFYING AND SELLING SUBSTITUTE TIRE SIZES, BEGINNING ON PAGE 18.

Size Description Tires for light vehicles (most passenger cars and light trucks) are typically part of one of the following groups: Size Description Passenger Car

Light Truck

Example P-Metric

P205/55R16

Euro-Metric

205/55R16

Temporary Use

T125/80R15

LT-Metric

LT235/85R16

High Flotation

31X10.50R15LT

These groups of tires have numerous differences in their load and inflation characteristics; some are adjusted for load capacity if they are applied to a light truck versus a passenger car (see page 13, PASSENGER CAR TIRES APPLIED TO LIGHT TRUCKS). Therefore it is necessary to carefully note the complete tire size designation, including prefix and service description (if applicable, see below), when considering replacement tires.

Service Description The service description is distinct from the size designation and consists of the load index (a twoor three-digit number) and the speed symbol (a letter).

Replacement Tire Selection Manual _____________________________________________________________________________

Load Index The load index is a numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry at the speed indicated by the tire's speed symbol under certain specified service conditions.

Tires with the same load index, regardless of tire size, may carry the same load, but not always, and they may require substantially different inflation pressures.

The load index may not be used independently to determine replacement tire acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings, particularly when comparing P-metric and Euro-metric passenger car tires. For example, note the following standard load (SL) tires with the same load index:

Size P205/65R15 205/65R15

Load Index 92 (SL) 92 (SL)

* See page 8: MAXIMUM TIRE LOAD CAPACITY and INFLATION PRESSURE

In the above example, the Euro-metric tire has less load capacity at all inflation pressures (particularly below 35 psi), even though both tires have the same load index.

The load index is often used to distinguish certain tires from others. For instance, some tire sizes are available in more than one load index, particularly Euro-metric standard load (SL) passenger car tires and tires with light load (LL) or reinforced/extra load (XL) versions. In the following table, note the differences in load capacity for the tires listed, each with a different load index: Load Capacity (lbs) at Various Inflation Pressures Load 26 psi 29 psi 32 psi 35 psi 38 psi 41 psi 44 psi Size (180 kPa) (200 kPa) 220 kPa) (240 kPa) (260 kPa) (280 kPa) (300 kPa) Index P205/55R16 89 (SL) 1091 1157 1213 1279 1279* 1279* 1279* 205/55R16 90 (SL) 1014 1102 1190 1279 1323* 1323* 1323* 205/55R16 91 (SL) 1047 1135 1224 1312 1356* 1356* 1356* 205/55R16 94 (XL) 1003 1102 1179 1268 1356 1433 1477* * See page 8: MAXIMUM TIRE LOAD CAPACITY and INFLATION PRESSURE

Speed Symbol / Speed Rating Always check and follow the recommendations in the vehicle owner's manual and/or the vehicle tire placard regarding the use of speed rated tires. In general, all tires on the vehicle should be the same speed rating and replacement tires should have a speed rating equal to or greater than the speed rating of the OE tires. Typical speed ratings for passenger car and light truck tires are listed in the table at the bottom of the page. Note the following guidelines and exceptions: ƒ

To avoid reducing the speed capability of the vehicle, replace a speed rated tire only with another tire having at least the same speed rating. It is the "top speed" of the "slowest" tire on the vehicle which limits the vehicle's top speed without tire failure.

ƒ

If the OE tires are not speed rated carefully consider the type of vehicle and service conditions expected by the consumer. Replacement tires may be speed rated, if desired. Non-speed rated tires are usually for ordinary passenger or light truck service and not for high speed driving.

ƒ

For winter tires, it is generally acceptable to apply a tire with a lower speed rating than the OE tire for use in winter conditions; however, speed should be reduced accordingly. All winter tires applied should be the same speed rating. Some vehicles have specific recommendations regarding winter tires and their usage; always check and follow the vehicle tire placard and/or the vehicle owner's manual.

ƒ

Tires with different speed ratings may vary in ride, handling, and/or other performance characteristics. Thus, care should be taken when mixing tires of different speed ratings on the same vehicle. It is the "top speed" of the "slowest" tire on the vehicle which limits the vehicle's top speed without tire failure.

* In standardized laboratory tests that relate to highway speeds. Actual tire speed and performance capability depend on factors such as inflation pressure, load, tire condition, wear, and driving conditions. ** Any tire having a maximum speed capability above 149 mph (240 kph) may, at the tire manufacturer’s discretion, include a “Z” in the size designation (i.e. P275/40ZR17). For tires having a maximum speed capacity above 186 mph (300 kph), a “Z” must appear in the size designation. Consult the tire manufacturer (Technical Hotline phone numbers on the bottom of page 1) for maximum speed when there is no service description. Examples: P275/40ZR17 max speed > 149 mph – consult tire mfr. P275/40R17 93W max speed = 168 mph P275/40ZR17 93W max speed = 168 mph P275/40ZR17 93Y max speed = 186 mph P275/40ZR17 (93Y) max speed > 186 mph – consult tire mfr.

Maximum Tire Load Capacity and Inflation Pressure Tires have a maximum load capacity and a maximum inflation pressure, as marked on the sidewall. Never exceed the maximum load capacity or maximum inflation pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Consult the proper load/inflation table for minimum cold inflation pressures required for the loads which can be carried. Passenger tires may be marked with any one of a multitude of possible maximum inflation pressures, which may be higher than the minimum inflation pressure required to carry the tire's maximum load (see table, below). However, there is no load capacity increase with these higher inflation pressures.

Light Truck tires-including LT-Metric and High Flotation tires-have load range codes such as B, C, D, and E with associated maximum load and inflation specifications. Maximum inflation pressures for these tires are not always the same for a given load range (i.e. Load Range C tires are not always 50 psi maximum inflation pressure). "T"-Type Temporary Use tires (i.e. T125/80R15) are to be inflated to 60 psi (420kPa) in all applications, whether light load (LL) or standard load (SL).

P-Metric vs. Euro-Metric Passenger Car Tires Most passenger car tires are typically from one of the following groups: Size Description Passenger Car

Example P-Metric

P205/55R16

Euro-Metric

205/55R16

These groups of tires have differences in their load and inflation characteristics, (including a difference in their load capacity if they are applied to a light truck - see page 13, PASSENGER CAR TIRES APPLIED TO LIGHT TRUCKS). ƒ

P-metric and Euro-metric passenger car tires have different load and inflation standards that require careful observation. These differences also apply to tires that have nearly the same size designations (i.e. P205/55R16 vs. 205/55R16).

ƒ

Euro-metric tires use load index tables to identify their load capacity at various inflation pressures. Furthermore, these tires have different load index tables for standard load and reinforced (extra load) versions. Carefully utilize the correct table.

ƒ

P-metric (and LT-metric and High Flotation) tires do not use load index values to identify their load capacity at various inflation pressures. For these tires, the load index is not an absolute indicator of the tire's load capacity.

ƒ

Euro-metric standard load tires may have more than one load index per size. This occurs with certain Euro-metric sizes more than others (i.e. 205/55R16). Carefully determine and compare the size code and load index for the OE tire (using information from the vehicle tire placard and/or owner's manual) and any specific replacement tire. The load index may not be used independently to determine replacement tire acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings, particularly when comparing P-metric and Euro-metric passenger car tires.

Reinforced / Extra Load (XL) Tires Special care should be exercised when considering reinforced or extra load (XL) tires as substitutes for standard load (SL) tires. A reinforced or extra load tire provides higher maximum load capacity than a standard load tire of the same size; however: Reinforced or extra load tires require higher inflation pressure to attain the added load capacity. The load index of a reinforced or extra load tire is higher than the load index of a standard load version of the same tire size, and may be equal to or greater than the load index for certain other tires; however: Euro-metric reinforced or extra load tires may actually offer less load capacity at some or all inflation pressures. For reinforced or extra load tires, an equal or greater load index is not always an adequate indicator of a tire's suitability for load capacity. Note the following example of tires with different load index values: Load Capacity vs. Inflation Pressure

Light Load (LL) Tires P-Metric passenger tires 45-series and lower, and "T"-type temporary use tires, may have a light load (LL) designation. These tires can operate at the same inflation pressures as standard load (SL) tires, however, an LL tire has less load capacity at the same inflation pressure as an SL version of the same tire size.

Passenger Car Tires Applied To Light Trucks Most mini-vans, full-size vans, SUV's and light duty pickup trucks are federally classified as "light trucks." In general, these vehicles are specially designed to carry more people and/or cargo than passenger cars and many have off-road design features, including increased ground clearance and 4x4 or all-wheel drive capability. Therefore, as with other vehicles, tires originally equipped to a light truck by a vehicle manufacturer have been specially selected to meet the expected use, loading, and performance parameters of that particular vehicle. In many cases, passenger car-sized tires (P-metric or Euro-metric) are applied to light trucks as original equipment. ƒ

Passenger car-sized tires applied to light trucks must have their load capacity, at all inflation pressures, reduced by a service factor. OE passenger car-sized tires have already had this reduction taken into account by the vehicle manufacturer. To determine the load capacity of a passenger car tire when applied to a light truck vehicle, divide the load capacity (at a specific inflation pressure) of the passenger car tire by 1.1 and round to the nearest pound (or kilogram). Follow the same procedure for all inflation pressures. For example: P235/70R15 at 35 psi Reference load: 1896 lbs (860kg) for passenger car use Divide by 1.1: 1896 lbs ÷ 1.1 = 1724 lbs (782 kg) for light truck use

ƒ

OE passenger car-sized tires may not be optimum for a particular light truck consumer's driving needs. In such cases, it may be desirable to substitute an appropriately sized LTmetric or High Flotation light truck tire, typically at a higher inflation pressure. However: Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer's replacement tire recommendations. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against the application of replacement tires that are not the original size or type. Always refer to and follow these recommendations.

ƒ

For light truck vehicles that have LT-metric or High Flotation light truck tires as original equipment: It is NOT RECOMMENDED to replace OE LT-metric or High Flotation light truck tires with P-metric or Euro-metric passenger car tires, unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Winter Tires (Including Studded Tires) Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle mobility. The use of winter tires -while improving traction performance in snow and ice - requires special care with regard to acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed. It is important to drive with care, not only on snow and ice, but on dry and wet roads as well. In winter driving conditions, vehicle control - and safe operation - under braking and cornering is especially dependent upon the rear tires. For this reason, winter tires are best applied to all wheel positions and a necessity if winter tires are applied to the front axle of any vehicle. Some vehicles have specific recommendations regarding winter tires and their usage; always check and follow the vehicle tire placard and/or the vehicle owner's manual. ƒ

Winter tires are best applied to all wheel positions.

ƒ

If winter tires are applied to the front axle of any vehicle, they must also be installed on the rear. Do not apply winter tires to only the front axle - this applies to all passenger cars and light trucks, including front wheel drive, 4x4 and all-wheel drive vehicles.

ƒ

If winter tires are installed on the rear axle of any vehicle, it is recommended (but not required) that they also be installed on the front axle.

ƒ

All winter tires applied should be the same speed rating. It is generally acceptable to apply winter tires with a lower speed rating than the OE tires for use in winter conditions; however, speed should be reduced accordingly. It is the "top speed" of the "slowest" tire on the vehicle which limits the vehicle's top speed without tire failure.

ƒ

Never place bias ply or bias belted tires on the rear axle if radial tires are on the front axle, regardless of which axle is the drive axle, unless the vehicle has duals on the rear.

ƒ

Winter tires operated in summer conditions may wear more rapidly.

ƒ

Studded winter tires follow the same recommendations above. In addition, only new tires should be fitted with studs. Consult the Bridgestone or Firestone P/LT Data Book for government regulations regarding the use of studded winter tires.

Plus Sizing The concept of plus sizing is not new, but has expanded in the marketplace beyond high performance sports cars. It is important to remember the following: Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer's replacement tire recommendations. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against the application of replacement tires that are not the original size or type. Always refer to and follow these recommendations. ƒ

Plus sizing typically aids handling performance, but may result in a less comfortable ride; the substitute tires - and their wheels - may also be more susceptible to damage by impact with potholes, road hazards, and other objects such as curbs.

ƒ

Never select a tire with a smaller size, or with less load carrying capacity, than the tire specified on the vehicle tire placard.

ƒ

Substitute tires should never be inflated below the pressure shown on the vehicle tire placard.

ƒ

Never exceed the maximum load capacity and/or inflation pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire.

ƒ

Never exceed the maximum load capacity and/or inflation pressure of the wheel.

ƒ

Never utilize an unapproved wheel or one that does not meet the approved rim width range for the selected tire size.

ƒ

The overall diameter of replacement tires should be within vehicle manufacturer tolerances. If tolerances are not provided, use a guideline of +/-3% from the overall tire diameter of the tire specified on the vehicle tire placard.

ƒ

Acceptable load capacity and/or overall tire diameter do not imply acceptable vehicle clearance. Body and chassis clearance must be checked on the vehicle's front and rear axles.

Low Aspect Ratio Tires Additional consideration should be made for low aspect ratio tires, particularly substitute tires that are lower in aspect ratio than the OE tire fitments. Tires that are low in aspect ratio typically aid handling performance and may have a subjective visual appeal, but they may have numerous engineering trade-offs. Low aspect ratio tires-and their wheels-may be more susceptible to damage by impact with potholes, road hazards, and other objects such as curbs. Therefore, as with all other tires, it is important that inflation pressure and load capacity is carefully monitored. ƒ

High performance, low aspect ratio tires may also: o

Ride less comfortably.

o

Wear more quickly.

o

Have reduced winter weather performance capabilities.

o

Produce more noise during operation.

Tire Mixing Tires of different constructions and sizes may have different handling and/or other performance characteristics. Therefore, note the following: Unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer, it is recommended that all tires on a vehicle be the same size, construction (i.e. radial, bias ply), and speed rating. Never mix tires of different size or construction on an axle (except for temporary use of a spare). Additionally: ƒ

4x4 and AWD Vehicles: It is particularly important to match all tire sizes and constructions on four-wheel-drive (4x4) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicles, unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

ƒ

Winter Tires: Winter tires are best applied to all vehicle positions. If winter tires are applied to the front axle of any vehicle, they must also be installed on the rear. Do not apply winter tires to only the front axle --- this applies to all passenger cars and light trucks, including front wheel drive, 4x4 and all-wheel drive vehicles. For additional information, see page 14: WINTER TIRES (Including Studded Tires).

ƒ

Speed Rating: Tires with different speed ratings may vary in ride, handling, and/or other performance characteristics. Thus, care should be taken when mixing tires of different speed ratings on the same vehicle. It is the "top speed" of the "slowest" tire on the vehicle which limits the vehicle's top speed without tire failure.

ƒ

Bias / Radial Tires: It is preferable to never mix bias ply, bias belted, or radial tires on a passenger car or light truck. If necessary, the following applies to these vehicles, regardless of drive axle(s), except for temporary use of a spare: o

Never mix bias ply, bias belted, or radial tires on the same axle.

o

Do not mix bias ply, bias belted, or radial tires on 4x4 or AWD vehicles.

o

Never place bias ply or bias belted tires on the rear axle if radial tires are on the front axle, regardless of which axle is the drive axle, unless the vehicle has duals on the rear. (This also applies to winter tires.)

Specifying and Selling Substitute Tire Sizes Specifying tires and inflation pressure can be a complex process that clearly affects the consumer's satisfaction and safety. Review and follow the guidelines and recommendations, presented on the previous pages, for specifying the proper replacement or substitute tires. Follow all of the steps in the procedure below.

!

Safety Warning: Using the wrong size or type of tire can result in tire failure, which can lead to an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death.

!

Safety Warning: In some cases, particularly for SUV's and light trucks, failure to follow vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for tire replacement may adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and make it easier to lose control, leading to a serious or fatal accident.

A sample worksheet is included on page A2 of this Manual.

STEP 1: Determine the OE Tire, Inflation, and Rim Information A. From the vehicle tire placard, record the OE tire size for both the front and rear. Note any prefixes/suffixes (i.e., P, LT, XL), load index, speed rating, and/or load range. The front and rear tire sizes may be different. Do not assume that the tires on the vehicle are OE. B. From the vehicle tire placard, record the OE recommended inflation pressure for both the front and rear. The front and rear pressures may be different. C. If retaining the wheels on the vehicle, measure and record the width of the current wheels. Do not assume that they are OE; measure with wheel calipers if necessary.

Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer's replacement tire recommendations. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against the application of replacement tires that are not the original size or type. Always refer to and follow these recommendations. If the vehicle tire placard or vehicle owner's manual is not available, consult the vehicle or tire manufacturer for assistance.

Continue to Step 2

_____________________________________________________________________________

Replacement Tire Selection Manual _____________________________________________________________________________

STEP 2: DETERMINE THE OE TIRE DATA D. From a resource such as the Bridgestone or Firestone P/LT Data Book, record the overall diameter of the OE tires determined in (A). E. From a resource such as load/inflation tables in the Bridgestone or Firestone P/LT Data Book, record the load capacity of the OE tires (A) at the OE recommended inflation pressures (B). This step must be followed for both front and rear tires. Note: The load determined in (E) must be matched or exceeded by the replacement tire.

STEP 3: SUBSTITUTE TIRE INFORMATION F. Select and record a candidate substitute tire size. G. From a resource such as the Bridgestone or Firestone P/LT Data Book, record the overall diameter of the substitute tires determined in (F). H. Calculate the % difference in diameter between the candidate substitute tire size and the OE tire size. Compare this result with vehicle manufacturer tolerances (if tolerances are not provided, use a guideline of +/-3% from the overall tire diameter of the tire specified on the vehicle tire placard). If the result is acceptable, then proceed to STEP 4. If not, then another candidate substitute tire size must be selected (return to F and repeat STEP 3).

STEP 4: WHEEL INFORMATION I.

From a resource such as the Bridgestone or Firestone P/LT Data Book, record the approved rim width range for the substitute tire size (F).

J. If retaining the current wheels on the vehicle, confirm that the current rim widths (C) fall within the rim width range of the candidate substitute tire size (I). K. If purchasing new wheels, select and record candidate rim widths for use with the substitute tires. The candidate rim width must meet the requirements of the candidate substitute tire size as indicated in (I). If not, another rim width (or another substitute tire size) must be selected (repeat STEP 3 and/or STEP 4). Note: The rim diameter identified in either (J) or (K) must be the same as the candidate substitute tire size diameter (F).

Continue to Step 5 _____________________________________________________________________________

8/7/2006

Replacement Tire Selection Manual _____________________________________________________________________________

STEP 5: LOAD / INFLATION COMPARISON L. From a resource such as load/inflation tables in the Bridgestone or Firestone P/LT Data Book, record the load capacity of the substitute tires (F) at the OE recommended inflation pressures (B). M. Does the load in (L) meet or exceed the load in (E)? YES or NO. If the answer is YES for both front and rear tires, then skip to STEP 7. If the answer is NO for either the front or rear tires, then proceed to STEP 6.

STEP 6: DETERMINE INFLATION SUFFICIENT FOR LOAD N. From a resource such as load/inflation tables in the Bridgestone or Firestone P/LT Data Book, increase the inflation pressure of the substitute tire size until the load recorded in (E) is equaled or exceeded. Record the inflation pressure for the substitute tire size that is sufficient to carry the load in (E). If the candidate tire cannot carry the load in (E), then another candidate substitute tire size must be selected (stop here and repeat STEPS 3-5). O. Record the load capacity of the substitute tire size at the inflation pressure determined in (N).

STEP 7: NOTIFICATION P. Mount the new tires on the vehicle and inflate to the new recommended inflation pressures determined in (N). Q. Notify the consumer of the new tire sizes and the new recommended inflation pressures. On the Substitute Tire Size Application form included on page A3 of this Technical Bulletin, fill in the appropriate vehicle information (year, make, model, and VIN), the OE tire sizes (A), and the OE recommended inflation pressures (B). Then fill in the new substitute tire sizes (F) and the new recommended inflation pressures (N). Explain to the consumer the possible effects of these tire changes and have him/her sign the form. R. Make a copy of the signed Substitute Tire Size Application form and place it in the vehicle glove box with the vehicle owner's manual. If the vehicle owner’s manual is not available, leave the Substitute Tire Size Application in the glove box. Retain the original for your records. S. Clearly fill in the Auxiliary Tire Information label (placard) included on page A4 of this Technical Bulletin with the new Substitute Tire Sizes (F) and the new recommended inflation pressures (N). Affix this Auxiliary Tire Information label (placard) in the immediate vicinity of the existing vehicle tire placard, but NOT covering the existing vehicle tire placard. Cover the Auxiliary Tire Information label (placard) with clear plastic tape and show the consumer where this new placard exists. Explain again the new recommended tire inflation pressures for the new tires.
