HIGHWAY AUTO AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE
REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
(EXCLUDES GOODYEAR UNISTEELRADIAL
LIGHT TRUCK TIRES)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the benefits of this Limited Warranty
if you meet all the following criteria:
●You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of
new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto or light truck
tires supplied as Original Equipment on your vehicle.
●Your tires bear Department of Transportation pre-
scribed tire identification numbers.
●Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which
they were originally installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer or Goodyear’s recommendations.
●Your tires were purchased on or after March 01, 2009.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires identified with
the “LT” designation in the sidewall stamping plus the
8-19.5 and 8R19.5 sizes which do not carry the “LT”
designation.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway radial auto or
radial light truck tire, covered by this policy, removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition during
the first 2/32” of usable treadwear or twelve months
from date of purchase, whichever comes first, will be
replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire at no charge, including mounting and balancing.
(Without proof of purchase the date of manufacture will
be used to determine eligibility.) ALL OTHER HIGHWAY AUTO OR LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto or light truck
tire, other than radial auto, radial light truck tires, re-
moved from service due to a covered warranty condition
during the first 1/32” of usable treadwear will be re-
placed with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tire
at no charge, including mounting and balancing.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Goodyear or Dunlop temporary spare tire removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition during
the first 50% of usable treadwear (1/32”) will be re-
placed with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tem-
porary spare tire at no charge, including mounting.
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement that are removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition will be
replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire on a prorated basis for up to six (6) years from the
date of original new tire purchase or when the treadwear
indicators become
visible (wornto 2/32”), whichever
occurs first. (Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES BE
CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the
tire’s advertised retail selling price at the time of adjust-
ment by the percentage of usable original tread that has
been worn off. You pay for mounting and balancing, and
an amount equal to the current Federal Excise Tax (F.E.T.
– U.S. only) any other applicable taxes and government-
mandated charges. 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%, and therefore must pay
50% of the advertised retail selling price of the compa-
rable tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount equal to the full
current Federal Excise Tax (U.S. only) or any other appli-
cable taxes and government-mandated charges for the
comparable new replacement tire at the time of adjust-
ment. If the price of the new comparable tire is $80, the
cost to you would be $40 plus F.E.T. (U.S. only) plus any
other applicable taxes and government-mandated
charges.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop tire will be the
same brand tire and may either be the same line of tire
or, in the event that the tire is not available, the same
brand tire with the same basic construction and quality
with a different sidewall or tread configuration. If a
higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the differ-
ence in price will be at an additional charge to you.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty
will be covered by the Goodyear or Dunlop warranty in
effect at the time of replacement.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and the
coverage of this limited warranty ends when the tread-
wear indicators become visible (worn to 2/32”), or six
(6) years from the date of new tire purchase, whichever
occurs first. (Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)

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 cause tire 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 gener-
ated 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 rock-
ing 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 ma-
chine 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 reduce
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.

GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 29

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.

TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands
of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires
must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that
may result in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of
any specific tire in chronological time since service con-
ditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time
is a function of the storage and service conditions (in-
flation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely
solely on the appearance of the tire, but should be
aware of any change in dynamic performance such as
increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be a
sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have
tires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and
treadwear.FOR SERVICE ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION, FIRST

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Owner’s Manual and
Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle.
In order for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Tech-
nology (EMT) and RunOnFlat (ROF)) tires to obtain the
performance criteria stated within this Limited War-
ranty, Goodyear Run-Flat tires must use specific parts,
such as a low tire pressure monitoring system autho-
rized by the Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
TIRE PRESS URE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire
with a remarkable feature: It can operate for limited
distances, with very low or even no inflation pressure
(refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limita-
tions). This is an important benefit, especially if inflation
loss occurs at a location where immediately stopping
your vehicle could be hazardous. Because these tires
ride well even without air pressure, your vehicle must be
equipped with a system to alert you when a tire has low
or no air pressure.
MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an
alert, follow these saf ety precautions to prevent a
loss of vehicle control that could result in serious
personal injury or death:
● Slow your speed as much as possible. Do not ex-
ceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
● Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe
handling maneuvers.
● Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air
pressure, your vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire can be driven at low or zero
air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations). To help prolon g the life of a tire oper-
ating under low-inflation conditions, drive at a speed as
far below 50 mph (80 km/h) as possible. Also, drive the
shortest distance possible before obtaining tire service.
Taking these precautions will increase the chance that
your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after an alert from the tire pressure-
monitoring system, contact your Goodyear Run-Flat ser-
vice facility. Trained service personnel will inspect your
tires to determine if they are in need of repair or replace-
ment. To locate your nearest authorized Goodyear Run-Flat
service facility, call 1-800-RUN-FLAT, (1-800-786-3528).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Goodyear
Run-Flat tires, the wheels on which they are
mounted and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring
system, all tire service work other than routine infla-
tion maintenance and external inspections must be
performed by service personnel at a Goodyear Run-
Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount Run-Flat tires
yourself; serious injury or death could result. Only
specially trained persons should mount, dismount
and repair Run-Flat tires.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
While most tire maintenance must be performed by a
Goodyear Run-Flat service facility as noted above, there
are a few basic tire care items you can and should
regularly perform yourself
. These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cau se of tire failure. It
reduces tire load capacity and allows excessive sidewall
flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire durability and maxi-
mize tread life.
(Continued on next page)
32 GOODYEAR RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

Check inflation pressures at least once a month and
before long trips. Use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Always check pressures when the tires are cold (when
the vehicle has been driven less than one mile). If you
must check inflation when the tires are hot, add 4 psi
(27 kPa) to the recommended cold inflation pressure.
Consult your Vehicle Owner’s Manual, vehicle certifica-
tion label or the tire information placard on the driver’s
door edge for the recommended inflation pressure for
your tires.
TREADWEAR INSPECTION
Inspect your tires regularly (for example, each time in-
flation is checked) for sufficient depth in the tread
grooves. This can be done visually very quickly because
your tires feature treadwear indicators (raised areas in
the bottoms of the grooves) at several locations around
the tire. When the tread material has worn down to
these indicators, 2/32nds of an inch of tread groove
depth remains and the tire must be replaced. Any signs
of uneven or irregular wear may indicate the need for a
vehicle alignment or other vehicle suspension service.
TIRE/WHEEL DAMAGE INSPECTION
Inspect your tires for signs of damage to the tread or
sidewalls. Foreign objects embedded in the tread or
torn or m issing chunks of rubber in the trea d or sidewall
may indicate a potential problem.
At the same time, examine your wheels for signs of
damage or abuse. A bent, dented or cracked wheel
should be replaced and the tire mounted on it should be
inspected thoroughly for damage.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear speed-rated, high-
performance tire, the Goodyear Run-Flat tire may be
repaired to correct a puncture in the tread, but PROPER
MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES MUST BE USED. Contact
a Goodyear Run-Flat service facility for information on
proper repairs. For the location of the nearest facility,
call 1-800 RUN-FLAT (1-800- 786-3528).
WARNING
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
● Tire failure due to underinflation or overloading.
Consult your Vehicle Owner’s Manual, tire infor-
mation placard, or vehicle certification label for
your vehicle’s tire inflation and load
specifications.
● Tire failure caused by excessive operation at low
or zero inflation pressure.
● Explosion of the tire/rim assembly due to im-
proper mounting. Only specially trained persons
should mount tires. More than 40 psi (270 kPa)
may be required to seat beads. A safety cage and
clip-on extension air hose must be used if more
than 40 psi (270 kPa) is needed to seat beads.
WARNING
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud and ice,
never spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as
indicated on the speedometer . Severe damage –
including tire disintegration and axle failure – may
result from excessive wheel spinning, causing seri-
ous personal injury.
Goodyear Run-Flat tires are designed for use only on
certain original equipment wheels supplied with a
properly operating low tir e pressure-monitoring
system. If applied to a vehicle without a properly
operating low tire pressure monitoring system the
tires may fail when operated in an underinflated
condition, resulting in loss of vehicle control and
possible serious injury or death. Application of
these tires to a vehicle not equipped with specified
operational low tire pressure-monitoring system
constitutes improper and unsafe use of this
product.
