DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE OR TIRES
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the
load limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on
your tires and other critical vehicle components. Over-
loading a vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may causetire failure. Overload-
ing your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation or blowout.
Never fit 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% when used on a light
truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric tires to
light trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELY
Avoid 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 sud-
den tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or
serious personal injury to you or a bystander. Never ex-
ceed 35 mph/55 km/h, as indicated on your speedom-
eter. 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 ex-
ample, 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 WEAR
Always 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 w
orn tires are also more suscep-
tible to penetrations.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for
signs of damage and their general condition is impor-
tant for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire
retailer 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 qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR
NOTE: Goodyear and Dunlop do not warrant any inspec-
tion or repair process. The repair is entirely the respon-
sibility of the repairer and should be made in accor-
dance with established Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) procedures.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built,
and tested to the high engineering standards set by
North America’s leading car manufacturers and to
Goodyear and Dunlop’s own high standards of quality
control. It is designed to take up a minimum of storage
space and, at the same time, fulfill the function of a
spare tire when needed. The spare is kept in its storage space, fully inflated at 60 psi. To be sure it is always
ready for use, the air pressure should be checked on a
regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in
combination with the original tires on your vehicle. You
can expect a tire tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800
kilometers), depending on road conditions and your
driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, return the
spare to the storage area as soon as it is convenient to
have the standard tire repaired or replaced.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a
standard tire so
it’s easier to handle. It also helps re-
duce the total car weight which contributes to fuel
economy.
The wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary)
Spare are specifically designed for use with high pres-
sure spares and should never be used with any other
type tire.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or Death may result from explosion of
tire/ rim assembly due to improper mounting proce-
dures. Follow tire manufacturer’s instructions and
match tire diameter to rim diameter. Mount light truck
radials on rims approved for radial service. Do not apply
bead sealer. This can inhibit bead seating. Lubricate
beads and tire rim (including tube or flap) contact sur-
faces. 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, Goodyear and Dun-
lop recommend fitment of four (4) tires of the same type
and size unless otherwise specified by the vehicle
manufacturer.
WARNING: Before you replace your tires, always consult
the vehicle owner’s manual and follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s replacement tire recommendations. Ve-
hicle handling may be significantly affected by a change
in tire size or type. When selecting tires that are different
than the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load carrying capacity and inflation pressure is se-
lected. Never exceed the maximum load capacity and
inflation pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Al-
ways drive safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sud-
den, sharp turns or lane changes. Failure to follow this
warning may result in loss of control of the vehicle,
leading to an accident and serious injury or death.
When replacing tires, you must maintain the outside
diameter and load carrying capacity of the Original
Equipment tire. Inflation pressure may need to be ad-
justed to avoid overloading the tire. Consult the Tire &
Rim Association Load and Inflation Tables, ETRTO or
JATMA standards for correct load and inflation informa-
tion.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT HAVE
LESS LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY THAN AS
REQUIRED BY THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger
vans, require Load Range E tires as designated by the
vehicle manufacturer. Fitment of a tire, such as a Load
Range D, with less carrying capacity is not allowed.
In other cases, tires of the same size may carry different
load indexes in the service description. You must make
certain the replacement tires fitted to the vehicle have a
load carrying capacity equal to or greater than what the
Original Equipment manufacturer specifies.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
Fit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radials
must be fitted to the same vehicle, fit radials on rear
axle. Never mix radials and non-radials on the same
axle. When fitting snow tires or all-season tires to per-
formance vehicles, always fit in sets of four. It is not
recommended to fit tires with different speed ratings. If
tires with different speed ratings are installed on a ve-
hicle, they should be installed with like pairs on the
same axle. The speed capability of the vehicle will be-
come limited to that of the lowest speed rated tires. It is
also recommended that the lower speed rated tires be
placed on the front axle regardless of which axle is
driven to help prevent pot ential oversteer.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always con-
sult Retailer for optimum rim width and carefully check
vehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Goodyear and Dunlop for any reason. Good-
year and Dunlop speed ratings and U.S. Department of
Transportation test compliance certifications are voided
for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION, WHEEL
ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE AND ROTATE YOUR
TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/
overinflation, wheel imbalance and misalignment can
cause vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires
according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
