WHO IS COVEREDThe owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light Truck tire  
which bears the BFGoodrich name and complete DOT 
identifi cation 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 fi tted 
and in accordance with the maintenance recommendations 
and safety warnings contained in the owner’s manual and 
in the Important Tire Safety Information Section 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 fi rst. 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;
•  Underinfl ation, overinfl ation, improper maintenance or  other abuse;
•  Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel  misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
•  Accident, fi re, 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 comparable 
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 benefi  cial 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.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?You are eligible for the benefi ts of this Limited Warranty if:•  You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner  of new Dunlop highway auto, light truck or temporary 
spare tires supplied as original equipment on your 
vehicle, and
•  Your tires bear Department of Transportation prescribed  tire identifi cation numbers and your tires have been 
used only on the vehicle on which they were originally 
installed according to the vehicle manufacturer or 
Dunlop recom-mendations, and
• 
Your vehicle was purchased on or after March 1, 2003.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW  
LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT 
Any Dunlop tire eligible under the provisions of this limited 
warranty and removed from service due to a covered 
warranty condition during the fi rst 2/32" treadwear or 12 
months from date of purchase, whichever occurs fi rst, 
will be replaced with a comparable new Dunlop tire at no 
charge. Mounting and balancing are included. (Without 
proof of purchase, date of manufacture will be used to 
determine age.) 
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES 
Any Dunlop temporary spare tire eligible under the 
provisions of this limited warranty and removed from 
service due to a covered warranty condition during the 
fi  rst 50 percent of usable treadwear will be replaced with a 
comparable new Dunlop temporary spare tire at no charge, 
including mounting. 
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT 
A tire not eligible for no-charge replacement that is 
removed from service due to a covered warranty condition 
will be replaced with a comparable new Dunlop tire on a 
prorated basis.
DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
HOW WILL PRORATED  
CHARGES BE CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the tire’s  
advertised retail selling price at the time of adjustment by the 
percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off. 
You pay for mounting, balancing and applicable taxes.
Example:   If your disabled tire had an original 8/32" of  
usable treadwear and is worn to 4/32" usable tread
remaining, you have used 50 percent and, therefore, must 
pay 50 percent of the current advertised selling price of the 
replacement tire. If the price of the new replacement tire 
is $80, the cost to you would be $40 plus any additional 
charges such as mounting, balancing and applicable 
taxes.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?A comparable new Dunlop tire may either be the same line 
of tire or, in the event that the tire is not available, a tire of 
the same basic construction and quality with a different 
side-wall or tread confi guration. If a higher priced tire is 
accepted as replacement, the difference in price will be 
at an additional charge to you.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONSA tire has delivered its full original treadlife and the coverage 
of this warranty ends when the treadwear indicators 
become visible (worn to 2/32") , or six (6) years from the 
date of original tire manufacture or new tire purchase date. 
(Without proof of purchase, date of manufacture will be 
used to determine age.) 
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty  
will be covered by the Dunlop warranty in effect at the 
time of replacement.
LIMITATIONSThis limited warranty is applicable only in the United States 
and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY  
THIS WARRANTY?
This limited warranty does not cover the following: 
•  Tires submitted for ride disturbance complaints that  are worn beyond the fi  rst two thirty-seconds of an inch 
(2/32") tread depth.
•  Dunlop does not warrant or give credit in any adjustment  transaction for any kind of material added to a tire (e.g., 
tire fi llers, sealants, balancing substances) after the 
tire leaves a factory producing Dunlop tires, nor will 
it adjust any tire that has failed as a result of adding 
such material.
•  Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condition of  the vehicle, improper infl  ation, overloading, high speed 
spin-up, misapplication, misuse, negligence, racing, 
use of tire chains, improper mounting or demounting, 
improper repair, wreck, collision or fi re.
•  Road hazards (includes, but not limited to, punctures,  cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.) .
•  Any tire that after leaving a factory producing Dunlop  tires has been intentionally altered to change its

or siping) .

or, if purchase date cannot be verifi ed, manufactured 
more than four (4) years prior to presentation for 
adjustment.
•  Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use,  incidental or consequential damages.
