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.
BFGOODRICH TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
(Continued on page 16)WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DOPASSENGER 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.

SAFETY INFORMATIONAny tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
use as a result of punctures, impact damage, improper
infl ation, overloading, or other conditions resulting
from use or misuse. Tire failure may create a risk
of serious personal injury or property damage. To
reduce risk of tire failure, we strongly recommend you
read and follow all safety information contained in the
Important Tire Safety Information section contained
in this booklet, the tire placard in the vehicle or the
Owner’s Manual.

all traffi c laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes.
Failure to follow any of these warnings may result in loss of
control of the vehicle, leading to an accident and serious
injury or death.TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDEThe easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Goodyear or Dunlop tires is to give
them a simple but frequent (at least monthly) inspection
for proper infl ation, even treadwear, and the presence of
any damage.DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRESProper infl ation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain
proper infl ation pressure, frequently (at least monthly)
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 deter-
mine 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 insuf-
fi 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, vehicle certifi cation
label or in the vehicle 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, result-
ing 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 tread life.
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 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% 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
personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/55 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 speeds. 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.DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent (at least monthly) 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 inner tube as
a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualifi ed persons
should repair tires.
