FREEZE
WARNING |
Freeze Crack Advisory: This advisory
addresses proper storage and use of Hoosier tires in cold
conditions. Hoosier Tires, especially asphalt and hard compound
tires, may experience Rubber Cracking if the tires are transported,
crushed, flexed or stressed when frozen. The following guidelines
are provided to avoid this
problem.
1. Always store Hoosier Racing Tires indoors at temperatures above
32° F.
2.
If tires have been subject to 32° F or less, allow them to warm to
room temperature (about 70°
F)
for a minimum of 24 hrs before tire is mounted, transported or
flexed.
3. Always use spare tires not intended for future competition to
store vehicles for prolonged
periods
of time or winter
transport.
4. If below freezing temperatures are expected, please consider
shipping tires once more favorable conditions exist.
Do
not use tires that have evidence of Freeze Crack Damage. |
|
WARNING |
| Service Life For Race Tires: Old tires can
fail in use, causing loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
Environmental conditions like temperature extremes, exposure to
sunlight, electric arc, solvents, automotive fluids, and atmospheric
pollutants accelerate the aging process. Hoosier Racing Tire
strongly recommends that new (sticker) tires should be put in
service within 2 years of date of purchase. Used (scuffed) tires
have a shorter service life than new (sticker) tires. Poor storage
and infrequent use accelerate the aging process. |

DIRECTION OF
ROTATION/MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS |
|
ROTATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR TIRES WITH
DIRECTIONAL ARROWS
All Hoosier
tires having directional arrows must be mounted so that the tire
travels in the direction of the arrow. Hoosier tires having
directional arrows will have them on both sidewalls.
Directional arrows may not be on a tire that can have both a left
and/or right side application. All Hoosier tires not having
directional arrows should be mounted as detailed below.
ROTATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR TIRES WITHOUT
DIRECTIONAL ARROWS
Every Hoosier race tire has a four character serial code embossed
into ONE sidewall of the tire. All Hoosier DOT tires will also have
two additional codes as required by the Department of
Transportation. (Example: J7AB 4AX8 3709)
CIRCLE TRACK RACING TIRES: (Includes both dirt and
asphalt tires)
Hoosier tires must be mounted with the serial
code located toward the infield.
ROAD RACING TIRES: (Includes catalog numbers beginning
with 43, 44, 45, 46)
In most cases, Hoosier tires used in Road
Race applications should be mounted with the serial code
toward the center of the vehicle. Once a tire has been run in
the proper orientation it is acceptable to remount the tire in the
opposite direction to even out the wear.
DRAG RACING TIRES, INCLUDING DOT DRAG TIRES: (Includes
catalog numbers beginning with 17, 18)
Hoosier drag tires can be
mounted to rotate in either direction. Hoosier drag tires can also
be flipped or reversed to provide even wear. |
|
WARNING: TIRE
MOUNTING IS DANGEROUS |
| Special Tire Mounting Instructions:
Tire mounting should be done only by trained
personnel using proper tools and procedures. Failure to follow safe
mounting procedures could cause faulty positioning of the tire and
cause the assembly to burst with explosive force sufficient to cause
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. Always inspect tire
for kinked beads or other possible damage that may have occurred in
shipping or storage. Clean rim and lubricate beads with rubber
lubricant. Always lock rim on mounting machine or place in safety
cage. Use a clip on chuck, an in-line valve with a pressure gauge or
adjustable regulator and remote inflation/deflation device. Have
enough air hose to stay out of the trajectory. Stand back. |
|
WARNING: VERIFY
RIM FLANGE |
| Verify Correct Wheel and Bead Flange:
All tires are designed to be used on wheels that are
manufactured to Tire and Rim Association (T&RA) specifications
and tolerances. Some rims are non-standard or damaged and it is
necessary to inspect the rim flange to assure proper fit. Consult
your specific rim manufacturer to determine if your rim can be used
in this application. Never attempt to install and inflate a tire of
one bead diameter on a rim or wheel of a different bead diameter.
Use of Hoosier Racing Tires on wheels with incorrect bead flanges or
wheels that do not meet T&RA standards can cause the assembly to
fail and burst with explosive force sufficient to cause
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. Use a certified
wheel rim disk tape to confirm wheel rim flange size. |
|
WARNING: BEAD/RIM
SEATING |
| When seating beads never exceed maximum bead
seating pressure as molded in tire sidewall. Never exceed
manufacturer's maximum inflation pressure. Always seat beads
with wheel locked to mounting machine or placed in a safety cage. A
damaged tire or wheel can fail during bead seating and burst with
enough force sufficient to cause SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH. Always use a clip on chuck, an in-line valve with
a pressure gauge or adjustable regulator and remote
inflation/deflation device. Have enough air hose to stay out of the
trajectory. Stand back. If the beads will not seat at the
manufacturer's maximum bead seating pressure, STOP, deflate tire,
return the tire to place of purchase. |
|
WARNING: NOT FOR
HIGHWAY USE |

unsafe to operate any Hoosier Racing Tire including DOT tires on
public roads. The prohibited use of Hoosier Racing Tires on public
