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 
appearance (e.g., white inlay on a black tire, regrooving 
or siping) .
•  Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased more 
than four (4) years prior to presentation for adjustment 
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.

personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35 
mph/60 km/h as indicated on your speedometer. Use a 
gentle backward and forward rocking motion to free your 
vehicle for continued driving. Never stand near or behind a 
tire spinning at high speed as, for example, while attempting 
to push a vehicle that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin 
balance machine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEARAlways remove tires from service when they reach two 
thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") remaining tread depth. 
All new tires have treadwear indicators which appear as 
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they wear to 
the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") level. Many wet 
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly 
bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more susceptible 
to penetrations.
SIDEWALL TREATMENTSDunlop sidewalls are specially compounded to resist ozone 
cracking or weather-cracking.
Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping 
or lettering, and rinse off with plain water. Instruct service 
per-sonnel and customers never to apply any other material 
to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade rubber 
and remove inherent ozone resistance.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent inspection of your tires for signs of damage and 
their general condition is important for safety. If you have 
any questions, have your tire dealer inspect them. Impacts, 
penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges, or air loss always 
require tire removal and expert inspection. Never perform 
a temporary repair or use an innertube as a substitute for a 
proper repair. Only qualifi ed persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIRNOTE: Dunlop does not warrant any inspection or repair 
process. The repair is entirely the responsibility of the 
repairer and should be made in accordance with established 
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) procedures.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT 
YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury may result from explosion of tire/rim 
assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow 
tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter 
to rim surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or 
place in safety cage. STAND BACK and never exceed 
40 psi to seat beads. Never use a volatile substance or 
a rubber “donut” (also known as a bead expander or “O-
Ring”) to aid bead seating. Only specially trained persons 
should mount tires.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES 
AND TYPES ON THE SAME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Dunlop recommends 
fi tment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless 
otherwise specifi ed by the vehicle manufacturer.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL 
GUIDELINES:
Fit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radials must 
be fi tted to the same vehicle, fi t radials on rear axle. Never 
mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fi tting 
snow tires or all-season tires to performance vehicles, 
always fi t in sets for four. Do not fi t tires with different 
speed ratings.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can 
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always consult 
dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire 
clearances.
RETREADED TIRESRetreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted 
by Dunlop for any reason. Dunlop speed ratings and U.S. 
Department of Transportation test compliance certifi  cations 
are voided for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION, 
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinfl  ation/over-
infl ation, wheel imbalance, and misalignment can cause 
vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires according 
to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations or at 
maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
LIGHTWEIGHT TEMPORARY 
SPARE TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY 
INSTRUCTIONS
•  Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight 
temporary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
•  Check the infl ation pressure before using and at least 
weekly. Maintain cold tire pressure in accordance with 
that molded on the tire sidewall or found in your vehicle 
owner’s manual. When infl ating or adding air to light-
weight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the 
smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave 
valve core in place and add infl ation air in short bursts. 
Check the pressure often with an in-line or hand gauge 
until the specifi ed pressure is reached.
•  The lightweight temporary spare tire may lower ground 
clear-ance when used. Reduce speed and avoid driving 
over large obstacles or through chuckholes and other 
road hazards.
•  Check your car owner’s manual for other special 
clearance precautions when using the lightweight

temporary spare tire provided in your vehicle.
•  Because your lightweight temporary spare tire was 
specifi  cally designed for your car, it should not be used 
on any other vehicle.
•  Do not use snow chains on your lightweight temporary 
spare tire. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
•  Your lightweight temporary spare has very limited wear 
potential (up to 300 miles/500 km) .
•  In order to conserve tire treadlife, the lightweight 
temporary spare tire should be returned to your trunk 
as soon as the standard tire has been repaired or 
replaced. Never use the spare if treadwear indicator 
(TWI) bars are exposed or it is worn to the last 2/32" 
tread depth.
•  Do not use your original equipment lightweight 
temporary spare tire on any other than its original 
equipment rim. The replacement lightweight temporary 
spare tire must match the original equipment tire 
removed from your lightweight temporary spare rim. 
Check the tire for the lightweight temporary spare tire 
size marking designation and compare size markings 
with those found on both your original lightweight 
temporary spare and rim.
NOTE: Your original equipment lightweight temporary 
spare tire and rim combination is not the same size as the 
other tires and rims with which your vehicle is equipped. 
Standard tires, snow tires, conventional wheel covers or 
rim rings should not be fi  tted to your lightweight temporary 
spare tire rim or assembly.
•  Improper mounting can cause tire/rim assembly 
explosion and serious injury. Tire Fitters: Follow tire 
manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to 
rim diameter. Mount the lightweight temporary spare 
tire only on a rim originally fi  tted with a temporary spare 
of the same size. Lubricate beads and rim contact 
surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or 
place in a safety cage. STAND BACK; infl ate in short

GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 
AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
This Limited Warranty and Adjustment (the “Policy”) 
is issued by Continental Tire North America, Inc. (the 
“Company”) and is applicable for General-brand original 
equipment tires and is a promise of replacement under 
certain specifi ed conditions.  This Policy applies to tires in 
normal service displaying adjustable conditions (see Section 
4) and does not require the existence of a workmanship or 
material related condition in order to qualify for adjustment.  
THIS POLICY IS NOT A WARRANTY THAT YOUR TIRE 
WILL NOT FAIL OR BECOME UNSERVICEABLE IF 
NEGLECTED OR MISTREATED.
1. ELIGIBILITY
a.  This Policy applies to the owner of Passenger 
Car, Light Truck and Serva-Spare tires bearing 
the General brand name and serial numbers, and 
operated in normal service.
b.  Eligible tires must be the original equipment tires, 
used on the vehicle on which they were originally 
installed by the vehicle manufacturer.
c.  Tires branded “used” are not eligible under this 
Policy.
2.  WHAT IS THE ADJUSTMENT POLICY 
AND FOR HOW LONG?
Limited warranty coverage is for a maximum period of 72 
months from the date of purchase*, determined by the 
new vehicle registration date or new vehicle sales invoice 
showing date of purchase.
If an eligible Passenger or Light Truck or Serva-Spare tire, 
used in normal service, becomes unserviceable from a 
condition other than those listed under Section 4, during 
or after the time or treadwear periods shown below, it will 
be replaced with a comparable** new General brand tire 
according to (A) and (B) below.
(A) Free Replacement Policy:
 Time*                       Treadwear
Passenger Tire  First 12 Months or First 2/32nds,  
  (whichever comes fi rst) . 
  Mounting & balancing included    
  free of charge. Owner pays all    
 applicable taxes.
Light Truck Tire  First 12 Months or First 3/32nds,  
  (whichever comes fi rst) . 
  Mounting & balancing included    
  free of charge. Owner pays all    
  applicable taxes. (Excluding F.E.T.)
Serva-Spare   No Time Limit    First 1/32nd
Tires Mounting & balancing included    
  free of charge. Owner pays all    
 applicable taxes.
(B) Pro Rata Replacement Policy:
  Passenger/Light Truck Tires
After the "Free Replacement Policy" expires (set forth in 
section 2A) , and the tire is still within 72 months from 
the date of purchase*, you will pay, on a pro rata basis, 
for a comparable** new General brand replacement tire. 
A tire is eligible for an adjustment on a pro rata basis 
until the tread is worn down to the tread wear indicators 
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) . The tire tread is 
worn out at this point and this Policy ends regardless of 
time period. Owner pays all applicable taxes (including 
F.E.T.) , mounting and balancing charges.Serva-Spare Tires
After the “Free Replacement Policy” expires (set forth 
in section 2A) , no adjustment will be made.
  *  At the time of claim, you need to present your new vehicle 
registration or new vehicle sales invoice showing date of 
purchase.  If satisfactory proof-of-purchase date is not 
provided, the D.O.T. certifi cation date of manufacture (tire 
serial number) will be used.
  **  A “comparable” new General brand tire may be either the 
same tire line or the same basic construction but with a 
different sidewall or  tread confi  guration.  If a higher-priced 
tire is accepted as replacement, the owner will pay the 
difference in price.  Any tire replaced under this Policy will 
be covered by the current General Tire Limited Warranty 
and Adjustment Policy
3.  HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS          
CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiplying 
the percentage of the usable tread worn by the Dealers 
Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time 
of the adjustment or the General brand current published 
Adjustment Base Price, whichever is lower. The usable 
tread is the original tread down to the tread wear indicators 
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) . The Ajustment 
Base Price is intended to fairly represent a Dealer's Selling 
Price for the same or comparable tire.

ELIGIBILITYYou are eligible for the benefi ts of this policy if you are the 
owner or authorized agent of the owner of new Goodyear 
highway auto and light truck tires bearing Department of 
Transportation prescribed tire identifi cation numbers, and 
if your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which 
they were originally installed according to the vehicle 
manufacturer’s recommendations.
COVERAGE (REPLACEMENT FREE)Any new Goodyear highway radial auto tire or radial light 
truck tire, except Unisteel radial light truck tires, covered 
by this policy, that does not deliver satisfactory highway 
service due to a workmanship or material related condition 
(see Adjustment Policy Limitations) during the fi rst 25% of 
usable treadwear, or twelve months from date of purchase, 
whichever comes fi rst, will be replaced with a comparable 
new Goodyear tire without charge.  Mounting and balancing 
are included.
Any Goodyear temporary spare tire that does not deliver 
satisfactory highway service due to a workmanship or 
material related condition during the fi rst 50% of usable 
tread depth (1/32 of an inch) will be replaced with a 
comparable new Goodyear temporary spare tire without 
charge.  Mounting is included.  After the fi rst 50% of 
usable treadwear, you pay only an adjustment charge for 
the treadwear received, plus any mounting charge.
COVERAGE (PRORATED ADJUSTMENT)Tires not eligible for no charge adjustment that do not 
deliver satisfactory service due to a workmanship or material 
related condition will be replaced with comparable new 
Goodyear tires on a pro rata basis.  The replacement price 
will be calculated by multiplying the current Goodyear 
“predetermined price for adjustment” or current advertised 
price at adjustment location (whichever is lower) by the 
percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off at 
the time of the adjustment.  You pay for mounting, balancing, 
and an amount equal to the full current Federal Excise Tax 
applicable to the comparable new replacement tire.
The “predetermined price for adjustment,” available at 
all Goodyear Auto Service Centers and participating 
dealers, fairly represents the actual regular retail selling 
price of the comparable tire at the time of adjustment.  If 
a “predetermined price for adjustment” is not available, 
adjustment will be based on the price at which you are 
entitled to buy at the time of adjustment.
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and this 
warranty ends when the treadwear indicators become 
visible, regardless of age or mileage.DEFINITION OF COMPARABLE TIRE
A “comparable” new Goodyear tire may either be the 
same line of tire or, in the event the disabled tire is out of 
production, the same basic construction and quality with 
different sidewall or tread confi guration.
If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the 
difference in price will be additional.
Any tire replacement under this warranty will be covered by 
the Goodyear warranty in effect at time of replacement.
ADJUSTMENT POLICY LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United States 
and Canada.
No representative or dealer has authority to make any 
representation, promise, or agreement on behalf of 
Goodyear, except as stated herein.
The following are not covered by this policy:
•  Goodyear does not warrant and will not give credit in 
any adjustment transaction for any kind of material added 
to the tire after leaving a Goodyear factory, nor will it 
adjust any tire which has failed as a result of adding 
any such material.  (Example:  Tire fi llers, sealants, or 
balancing substances.)

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK 
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTY
Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand 
passenger tires and light truck tires mounted on vehicles as 
original equipment for adjustable conditions as follows:
1.   What is covered by the warranty:
  Toyo brand passenger and light truck tires are warranted 
for adjustable conditions other than those listed under 
“What Is Not Covered” for the new original usable 
tread down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nd" 
tread remaining) or for 60 months from the date of 
manufacture, whichever comes fi rst.  The DOT serial 
number on the sidewall of the tire will be used to 
determine date of manufacture.  This time limit does 
not apply to Toyo temporary spare tires.  Presence of 
a manufacturing anomaly is not necessarily required to 
qualify for adjustment.
(A) When less than 25% of the original usable tread 
of a radial tire, or less than 50% of the original 
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been 
worn, the tire will be replaced with a new Toyo tire 
free of charge, including mounting and balancing. 
(Adjustments for ride disturbances or vibration, 
which cannot be corrected by balancing are only 
adjustable in the fi  rst 25% of usable tread.)  Service 
charges or any applicable taxes are payable by 
you.
(B) When more than 25% of the original usable tread 
of a radial tire, or more than 50% of the original 
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been worn 
the user must pay for the cost of a replacement 
tire based on the amount of tread used.  This is calculated by dividing the number of 32nds of an 
inch used by the original usable tread depth and 
multiplying by the actual current dealer selling price.  
Service charges or any applicable taxes are payable 
by you.
2.  What is not covered by the warranty:
(A) Mileage is not warranted.
(B) Damage due to road hazards whether repairable 
or not (such as cuts, snags, bruises, impact or 
punctures, improper tire chains) .
(C) Irregular tread wear or rapid tread wear due to failure 
to rotate the tires at recommended intervals, or from 
vehicle misalignment.
(D) Damage resulting from improper repair materials 
or procedures.
(E) Damage from  incorrect mounting or dismounting 
of the tire, incorrect wheel size, or failure to balance 
the tires.
(F) Damage or uneven tread wear from incorrect 
infl  ation, overloading, fi  re, theft, defective mechanical 
conditions such as brakes, shocks, rims, wreck or 
collision, and willful damage or abuse.
(G) Damage, corrosion, or rubber deterioration due to 
the use of oil-based chemicals, water-based sealers, 
balancing substances, or fl ammable gases.
(H) Ride, balance, or vibration complaints after the fi rst 
25% of tread wear.
(I)  Minor surface blemishes due to weathering and 
normal wear and tear which do not affect the 
serviceability of the tire.(J)  Any tire which has been run to destruction while 
fl a t .
(K) Tires used in commercial service.
(L) Claims after 5 years from the date the tire was 
manufactured.
(M) Tires on vehicles normally operated outside the 
United States.
(N) Claims made by anyone other than the original retail 
purchaser of the vehicle.
(O) Tires with the D.O.T. identifi  cation number removed 
or rendered illegible, or branded "used".
(P) Any claim where the tire is not presented and 
available for Toyo's inspection.
(Q) Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records 
are not available or verifi able.
(R) Any tires worn beyond the wear bars (less than 
2/32" remaining tread) .
(S) Temporary spare tires used at speeds over 50 miles 
per hour.
(T)  Dealer service charges are not covered for routine or 
required maintenance of the tires such as alignments 
or rotation.
CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and 
maintenance:
(1) Tires must be rotated every 7,500 miles or sooner 
if upon inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is 
beginning to appear. Keep a record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recommended

Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due 
to improper maintenance or service factors. This could 
create a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury. 
Disregarding any of the safety precautions and instructions 
contained in this manual may result in tire failure or explosion 
causing serious personal injury or death. For your safety, 
comply with the following:
TIRE INFLATIONKeep tires infl ated to the pressures recommended on 
the tire data placard. (See your OWNER’S MANUAL for 
location.)  These infl  ation pressures must be maintained as 
a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pressure 
rating indicated on the tire sidewall. 
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES, 
INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AT 
LEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING. 
Failure to maintain correct infl ation may result in improper 
vehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire 
wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle control and 
serious personal injury.  Therefore, infl ation pressures 
should be checked at least once a month and always prior 
to long distance trips.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The 
tires are cold when your vehicle has been driven less 
than a mile at moderate speed after being stopped for 
three or more hours.
CHECKING PRESSURE WHEN 
TIRES ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four pounds 
per square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recommended 
cold air pressure. Recheck the infl ation pressure when 
the tire is cold.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psi
If recommended pressure is: 30psi
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by 
the next day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire 
will be underinfl ated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check 
pressures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE 
CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.
For replacement tires, the correct infl ation pressure will 
be provided by your tire dealer, if not, refer to the vehicle 
decal. 
Underinfl  ation produces extreme fl  exing of the sidewalls and 
builds up heat which may result in sudden tire destruction 
and serious personal injury. Overinfl  ation can cause the tire 
to be more susceptible to impact damage.
LOAD LIMITSDO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED 
TIRE IS DANGEROUS. Never load your tires beyond the 
load carrying limits molded into the sidewall of the tires or 
the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the vehicle 
tire data placard, whichever is less. Overloading causes 
heat to build up which can lead to sudden tire failure and serious personal injury.
SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED 
TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS. 
Never operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or 
the maximum speeds justifi ed by the driving conditions. 
Excessive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a tire 
leading to possible failure and serious personal injury.
Correct infl ation pressure is especially important. 
However, at high speeds, even with the correct infl ation 
pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more diffi cult to 
avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater chance of 
causing tire damage than at the lower speed. Moreover, 
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available 
to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If 
you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with your 
spare tire and see your tire dealer at once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be safely 
driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated. In 
addition, some damages or improper repairs may cause 
a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating. Exceeding the 
tire’s maximum speed rating will cause the tire to build up 
excessive heat which can cause tire damage that could 
result in sudden tire destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to 
control a vehicle with sudden air loss can lead to an accident. 
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as 
indicated by the legal limits and driving conditions.
