Setup and Installation
Tire installation should always be performed by a qualified and certified tire professional. Improper installation can lead to serious injury or death. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific tire size, load capacity, and speed rating recommendations.
Before Installation:
- Verify that the tire size, load index, and speed rating match your vehicle's requirements as specified in the owner's manual or on the vehicle's tire placard (usually located on the driver's side door jamb, glove box door, or fuel filler door).
- Inspect the tire for any visible damage or defects prior to mounting.
- Ensure the wheel rim is clean, free of rust, and undamaged.
Installation Steps (Professional Recommended):
- Mount the tire onto the appropriate wheel rim using proper mounting equipment and techniques to avoid damage to the tire bead or rim.
- Inflate the tire to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold inflation pressure, not the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall. This information is found on the vehicle's tire placard.
- Balance the tire and wheel assembly to ensure smooth operation and prevent vibrations.
- Install the balanced tire and wheel assembly onto the vehicle, tightening lug nuts to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.

Operating Guidelines
Tire Pressure:
Maintain proper tire inflation pressure as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Check tire pressure at least once a month when tires are cold (before driving or after the vehicle has been stationary for at least three hours). Under-inflation or over-inflation can lead to uneven wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and compromised handling.
Driving Habits:
- Avoid sudden acceleration, braking, and sharp turns, as these can accelerate tire wear.
- Drive within posted speed limits and adjust speed according to road and weather conditions.
- Be mindful of road hazards such as potholes, curbs, and debris, which can damage tires.

Maintenance
Tread Depth Check:
The Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tires feature built-in wear gauges. These gauges allow you to easily monitor the remaining tread life without special tools. When the tread wears down to the level of the wear bars (typically 2/32nds of an inch), it's time to replace your tires for optimal safety and performance.

Tire Rotation:
Regular tire rotation (every 5,000-8,000 miles or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer) helps promote even tread wear and extends the life of your tires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended rotation pattern.
Wheel Balancing and Alignment:
Have your wheels balanced and vehicle alignment checked periodically by a professional. Proper balancing prevents vibrations and uneven wear, while correct alignment ensures optimal handling and tire longevity.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven Tread Wear | Improper inflation, misalignment, unbalanced wheels, worn suspension parts. | Check tire pressure, have alignment and balancing checked, inspect suspension. |
| Vibrations or Shaking | Unbalanced wheels, bent rim, worn suspension components, tire damage. | Have wheels balanced, inspect rims and tires for damage, check suspension. |
| Loss of Air Pressure | Puncture, leaky valve stem, damaged rim, bead leak. | Inspect tire for punctures, check valve stem, have tire professionally inspected and repaired. |
| Increased Road Noise | Uneven wear, tire age, road surface. | Ensure proper rotation and inflation; if severe, consult a tire professional. |
Always consult a certified tire professional for any persistent or severe tire issues. Do not attempt repairs if you are not qualified.
