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

a volatile substance or a rubber “donut” to aid bead
seating. Only specially trained persons should mount
lightweight temporary spare tires.

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.
