20DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
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 representation, 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 circumstances is this warranty a representation that a
tire failure cannot occur.
This warranty gives you specifi c 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 authorized
Dunlop service facility. Tires replaced on an adjustment
basis become the property of Goodyear Dunlop Tires
North America, Ltd. or Goodyear Canada Inc.
B. You must pay for taxes and any additional services you
order at the time of adjustment.
C. You must submit your claim on a GDTNA claim form
supplied by an authorized Dunlop service facility. The
form must be fi lled out completely and signed by you,
the owner of the tire presented for adjustment, or your
authorized agent.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDEThe easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Dunlop tires is to give them a simple
but frequent inspection for proper infl ation, even treadwear,
and the presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper infl ation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
per-formance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain proper
infl ation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are
cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge.*
For example, it is diffi cult to tell just by looking at radial
tires whether they are underinfl ated.
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is diffi cult to notice when a tire has gone
fl at or nearly fl at since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change signifi cantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinfl ation
always requires expert inspection to determine the
source of leakage and tire removal to determine
repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to reinfl ate
a tire that has been run severely underinfl ated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing,
impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fi tment causes for
air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead tearing
caused by a machine tool due to insuffi cient lubrication 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 infl ation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown
on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual:Underinfl ation is the leading cause of tire failure and
may result in severe cracking, component separation or
“blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive
sidewall fl exing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in
heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper infl ation
pressure is the single most important thing you can do to
ensure tire durability and maximum treadlife.
Overinfl ation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinfl ation 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 vehicle
can cause poor handling, increased fuel consumption and
may cause tire failure.
Never fi t your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and
remember 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 fi t P-Metric tires to
light trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON'T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELYAvoid 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
tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious
