dealership in the United States, and which is registered in
the U.S. and normally operated in the United States (in-
cluding Alaska and Hawaii), the United States territories
(specifically Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and Canada.
■ This warranty is generally transferable from the original
‘owner other than a Nissan dealer’ (OWNER) to subse-
quent owners of the vehicle at any time ownership of the
vehicle is transferred, without any action on your part;
except that this warranty is not transferable but is instead
void if
during the first six months after delivery to the
original OWNER: (1) ownership of the vehicle is trans-
ferred from the original OWNER,
and (2) the vehicle is
registered outside of the United States.
■ Your Nissan vehicle is manufactured to meet U.S. regula-
tions and environmental requirements. With the excep-
tion of privately owned vehicles belonging to members of

WHO IS COVEREDThe owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light Truck tire
which bears the BFGoodrich name and complete DOT
identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
BFGoodrich Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in
normal service on the vehicle on which they were originally
fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recommen-
dations and safety warnings contained in the owner’s
manual and in the Important Tire Safety Information Sec-
tion of this booklet, are covered by this warranty against
defects in workmanship and material for the life of the
original usable tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase,
whichever comes first. At that time, all warranties, express
or implied, are terminated. The usable tread is the original
tread down to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/
32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread remaining. Date of
purchase is documented by new vehicle registration or tire
sales invoice. If no proof of purchase, coverage will be
based on date of manufacture.
WHAT IS NOT COVEREDTires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture, whether repairable or not);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or improper repair;
• Underinflation, overinflation, improper maintenance or other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel
misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.
WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a compa-
rable new BFGoodrich tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds
of an inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or
25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to the user) and
within 12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting and
balancing of tires is included. The cost of any other service
charges and applicable taxes are payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread has
been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most benefi-
cial to the user) or after 12 months from date of purchase,
the user must pay the cost of a comparable new
BFGoodrich passenger or light truck replacement tire on
a pro rata basis. The dealer shall determine the charge by
multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread
worn by the current actual selling price at the adjustment
location or the price on the current BFGoodrich Brand
Base Price List, whichever is lower. This List is based on
a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the
actual selling price of the tire. The cost of mounting,
balancing and any other service charges and applicable
taxes are payable by the user.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. No
representative or dealer has authority to make any repre-
sentation, promise, or agreement on behalf of Goodyear
Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. (GDTNA), except as
stated herein.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in service
or otherwise become unserviceable due to conditions
beyond the control of the manufacturer. Under no circum-
stances is this warranty a representation that a tire failure
cannot occur.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights that vary from state to state and in
Canada province to province.
HOW DO YOU OBTAIN AN
ADJUSTMENT?
A. You must present the tire to be adjusted to an autho- rized Dunlop service facility. Tires replaced on an
adjustment basis become the property of Goodyear
Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. or Goodyear Canada
Inc.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Dunlop tires is to give them a simple
but frequent inspection for proper inflation, even treadwear,
and the presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire per-
formance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain proper
inflation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are
cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge.*
For example, it is difficult to tell just by looking at radial tires
whether they are underinflated.
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is difficult to notice when a tire has gone flat
or nearly flat since the “feel” of the vehicle does not change
significantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation
always requires expert inspection to determine the
source of leakage and tire removal to determine
repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to reinflate
a tire that has been run severely underinflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curb-
ing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fitment causes
for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead
tearing caused by a machine tool due to insufficient lubri-
cation or improper adjustment, (3) leaking valve core or
rubber valve components. These should be replaced when
problems are detected and whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown
on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual: Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may
result in severe cracking, component separation or “blow-
out.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive sidewall
flexing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in heat
and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper inflation pres-
sure is the single most important thing you can do to ensure
tire durability and maximum treadlife.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation also
increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLECheck your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the load
limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on your tires
and other critical vehicle components. Overloading a ve-
hicle can cause poor handling, increased fuel consumption
and may cause tire failure.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and re-
member that optimum rim width is important for proper tire
load distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of P-
Metric tires is reduced by 10 percent when used on a light
truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric tires to light
trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON'T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck in
snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces generated
by a free-spinning tire/wheel assembly may cause sudden
(Continued on page 21)
