SAFETY WARNINGS
Property damage, serious injury or death may result from:●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/
OVERLOADING/ MISAPPLICATION.
Follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire placard in
vehicle.
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE/IMPROPER
MAINTENANCE.
Tires should be inspected regularly by a qualified
technician for signs of damage, such as punctures or
impacts.
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER REPAIRS.
See Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA) es-
tablished repair procedures at www.rma.org and/or
go to www.goodyear.com for information on proper
repair procedures.
●EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY DUE TO
IMPROPER MOUNTING.
Only specially-trained persons should mount tires.
When mounting tires, use safety cage and clip-on
extension air hose to inflate.
●FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON APPROVED
RIMS.
●FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL ASSEMBLIES
COMPLETELY BEFORE DEMOUNTING.
●TIRE SPINNING.
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice, etc., do
not spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55 kph), as indi-
cated on the speedometer.
●EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.This can also result in tire disintegration or axle failure.
WARNING: Vehicle handling, traction, ride comfort and
other performance parameters may be significantly af-
fected by a change in tire size or type. Before replacing
tires, always consult and follow the vehicle Owner’s
Manual because some vehicle manufacturers prohibit
changing tire size. When selectin g tires that are different
from the original equipment size make certain: (1) The
tires have adequate load carrying capacity based on the
vehicle placard, (2) The tires have sufficient inflation
pressure to carry the load and (3) There is proper clear-
ance with no interference points between the tire and
vehicle. The consumer must be aware to always drive
safely and obey all traffic 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 GUIDE
The easiest way t o help ensure satisf actory mileage and
performance from your Goodyear or Dunlop tires is to
give them a simple but frequent (at least monthly) in-
spection for proper inflation, ev en treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPE R INFLATIONPRESSURE
IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. 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. It is difficult to tell just by looking at
radial tires whether they are underinflated.
*
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is difficult to notice when a tire has gone
flat or nearly flat since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change significantly.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts,
curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fit-
ment causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seat-
ing, (2) bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to
insufficient lubrication or improper adjustment, (3)
leaking valve core or rubber valve components should
be replaced when problems are detected and whenever
tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown on the
vehicle placard, vehicle certification label or in the ve-
hicle Owner’s Manual:
Underinflation is the leading cau
se of tire failure and
may result in severe cracking, component separation or
“blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows exces-
sive sidewall flexing and increases rolling resistance,
resulting in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire durability and maxi-
mize tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation
also increases the chances of impact damage.
(Continued on next page)
* Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation always requires expert ins pection to determine the source of leakage and tire removal to determine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER
attempt to reinflate a tire that has been run severely underinflated.
28 GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or Death may result from explosion of tire/
rim assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Fol-
low tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diam-
eter 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 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, 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
NOTE:
Goodyear manufactured and/or marketed European-
Metric passenger tires and P-Metric passenger tires are
interchangeable as long as they have the same section
width, same aspect ratio, same rim diameter.
CAUTION
Never substitute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire for
an Extra Load (XL) tire. If the vehicle was origi-
nally equipped with “Extra Load ” (XL) tires, re-
place those tires with similar sized XL tires.
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the
deepest tread depth on the 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
performance 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.
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 VEHICLESUSPENSION, 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.

You must go to an authorized Goodyear or Dunlop out-
let for replacement tires and all warranty service.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Bro-
chure applies only to the Original Equipment tires sup-
plied with your vehicle. In order for Goodyear Run-Flat
(Extended Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOnFlat [ROF])
or Dunlop Run-Flat (Dunlop Self- Supporting Technology
[DSST]) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Limited Warranty, Goodyear or Dunlop Run-
Flat tires must use specific parts, such as a low tire
pressure monitoring system authorized by the Original
Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a high-
performance tire with a remarkable feature: It can oper-
ate for limited distances with very low or even no infla-
tion pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations). This is an important benefit, espe-
cially if inflation loss occurs at a location where imme-
diately stopping your vehicle could be hazardous.

TIRE 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 safety precautions to prevent a loss of
vehicle control that could result in serious personal
injury or death:
●Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 kph).
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe han-
dling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure,
your vehicle’s handling capability is reduced, particu-
larly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be driven at
low or zero air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for these limitations). To help prolong the life of
a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive at
a speed as far below 50 mph (80 kph) 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 operating under low-inflation
conditions, contact your Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat
service facility. Trained service personnel will inspect
your tires to determine if they are in need of repair or
replacement. To locate the nearest authorized Goodyear
or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800-
GOODYEAR (1-800-466-3932).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Run-Flat tires,
the wheels on which they are mounted and your vehi-
cle’s tire pressure monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation maintenance and ex-
ternal inspections must be performed by service per-
sonnel at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires your-
self; serious injury or death could result. Only specially
trained persons should mount, demount and repair
Run-Flat tires, and more than 40 psi (270 kPa) may be
required to seat beads. A safety cage and clip-on exten-
sion air hose must be used if more than 40 psi (270kPa)
is needed to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop speed-rated, high-
performance tire, the Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire
may be repaired to correct a puncture in the tread, but
PROPER MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES MUST BE USED.
Contact a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility
for information on proper repairs. For the location of the
nearest facility, call 1-800-GOODYEAR (1-800-466-
3932). WARNING
Goodyear and Dunlop Run-Flat tires are designed for use
only on certain original equipment wheels s upplied
with a properly operating low
tire pressure-monitoring
system. If applied to a vehicle without a properly oper-
ating low tire pressure-monitoring system, the tires may
fail when operated in an underinflated condition, result-
ing 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.

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)
GOODYEAR RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 33

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.
