2014 INFINITI QX80 inflation pressure

●Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on
which they were originally installed according to the
vehicle manufacturer or Goodyear recommendations
and
●Your tires were purchased on or after March 1, 2009.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear Run-Flat tire removed from service
due to a covered warranty condition or rendered not
repairable due to a road hazard injury during the first
2/32” treadwear or 12 months from date of purchase,
whichever occurs first, will be replaced at no charge.
Mounting and balancing are included. Repairable punc-
tures will also be repaired at no charge during this
period. (Without proof of purchase, date of manufacture
will be used to determine eligibility.)
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
A tire not eligible for no-charge replacement that is
removed from service due to a covered warranty condi-
tion or rendered not repairable due to a road hazard
injury will be replaced on a prorated basis.
HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES BE
CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the
tire’s advertised Retailer 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 any other applicable taxes and government-
mandated charges.EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32of
usable tread wear and is worn to 4/32usable tread
remaining, you have used 50% and therefore must pay
50% of the current advertised selling price of the re-
placement tire. If the price of the new replacement tire is
$160, the cost to you would be $80 plus any additional
charges, such as mounting, balancing and any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated charges.
OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
A. You must present the tire to be adjusted to an autho-
rized Goodyear Run-Flat service facility (call 1-800-
786-3528 for locations). Tires replaced on an adjust-
ment basisbecome the property of The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company or Goodyear Canada Inc.
B. You must pay for taxes and any additional services
you order at the time of adjustment.
No claim will be recognized unless submitted on a
Goodyear claim form supplied by an authorized Good-
year Run-Flat service Facility. The form must be com-
pletely filled out, signed by you and where you, the
owner or your authorized agent, presented the tire for
adjustment.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and the
coverage of this warranty ends when the tread wear
indicators becomevisible (wornto 2/32”), orsix (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 eligibility.)To maintain the maximum speed capability and perfor-
mance of your vehicle, any Goodyear Run-Flat tire
should be replaced with another Goodyear Run-Flat tire
of identical size and speed rating. If tires with different
speed ratings are installed on a vehicle, they should be
installed with like pairs on the same axle. The speed
capability of the vehicle will become 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
potential oversteer.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty
will be covered by the Goodyear warranty applicable to
that tire in effect at the time of replacement.
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United
States and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?
In addition, this limited warranty does not cover the
following:
●Tires submitted for ride disturbance that are worn
beyond the first one thirty-second of an inch (1/32”)
tread depth or beyond six (6) months from the date of
purchase, whichever occurs first, or tires submitted
for ride disturbance due to damages wheels or any
vehicle condition.
●Tires not serviceable because of deterioration result-
ing from operation at low or zero inflation pressure.

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
tread wear.
WARNING
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/ OVER-
LOADING/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.

OWNER’S MANUAL
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL WARNING
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 Dunlop®Self-Supporting Technology
(DSST®) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Owner’s Manual and Limited Warranty, DSST
tires must be used with parts authorized by your Origi-
nal Equipment Vehicle Manufacturer, such as wheels
and tire pressure monitoring systems.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Dunlop DSST 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 limitations). 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 is 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 monitoring 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 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 DSST tire can be driven at low or zero air pressure
(refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for the limita-
tions). However, the tire may have to be replaced if
driven under such applications. To help prolong the life
of a tire operating 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 obtain-
ing 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 authorized Dunlop
DSST service facility. Trained service personnel will in-
spect your tires to determine if they are in need of repair
or replacement.
To locate your nearest authorized Dunlop DSST service
facility, call 1-800-786-3528.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Dunlop
DSST tires, the wheels on which they are mounted
and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system,
all tire service work other than routine inflation
maintenance and external inspection must be per-
formed by service personnel at an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount extended mo-
bility tires yourself; serious injury or death could
result. Only specially trained persons should mount,
dismount and repair DSST tires.
While most tire maintenance must be performed by an
authorized Dunlop DSST service facility, as noted
above, there are a few basictire care items you can and
should perform yourself.These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cause 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 performance and maxi-
mize tread life.
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.
(Continued on next page)
DUNLOP RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY39

Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual or the tire 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 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, torn
or missing chunks of rubber in the tread 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 Dunlop speed-rated high performance
tire, the Dunlop DSST tire may be repaired to correct a
nail-hole puncture in the tread, but proper materials and
procedures must be used. Contact an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility for information on proper re-
pairs.
WARNING
Serious injury or death may result from:
●Tire failure due to underinflation or overloading.
Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual or the tire
placard on the driver’s door edge for your vehi-
cle’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 (270kPa)
may be required to seat beads. A safety cage and
clip-on extension air hose must be used if more
than 40 psi (270kPa) is needed to seat beads.
WARNING
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud and ice,
never spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55km/h) as
indicated on the speedometer. Severe damage –
including tire disintegration and axle failure – may
result from excessive wheel spinning, and could
cause serious personal injury.
WARNINGDunlop DSST tires are designed for use only on certain
original equipment wheels supplied with a properly
operating low tire inflation pressure monitoring
system. If applied to a vehicle other than a so-
equipped vehicle, the tires may fail when operated in
an underinflated condition, which could result in loss
of vehicle control and possible serious injury or death.
Application of these tires to a vehicle not equipped
with specified original equipment wheels and an op-
erational low tire inflation pressure monitoring system
constitutes improper and unsafe use of this product.

40DUNLOP RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

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 INFLATION
Keep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on
the tire data placard. (See your Owner’s Manualfor loca-
tion.) These inflation pressures must be maintained as a
minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pres-
sure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES, IN-
CLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AT LEAST
ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in im-
proper vehicle handling and may cause rapid and ir-
regular tire wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle
control and serious personalinjury. Therefore, inflation
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 recom-
mended cold air pressure. Recheck the inflation pres-
sure 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 underinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check
pressures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE COR-
RECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS. For replace-
ment tires, the correct inflation pressure will be provided
by your tire retailer. If not, refer to the vehicle decal.
Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the side-
walls and builds up heat which may result in sudden tire
destruction and serious personal injury. Overinflating
can cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact
damage.
LOAD LIMITS
DO 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 op-
erate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or the
maximum speeds justified by the driving conditions.
Excessive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a
tire leading to possible failure and serious personal
injury.
Correct inflation pressure is especially important.How-
ever, at high speeds, even with the correct inflation
pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more difficult 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 avail-
able 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 retailer 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.
SPEED SYMBOLS -are shown on the sidewall of some
tires. The following table shows the maximum speed
corresponding to the symbol.

*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity
of greater than 149 mph (240 km/h).Consult your tire
manufacturer for maximum speedratings if your vehicle
capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed for use on cars with
maximum speed capabilities in excess of 149 mph
(240 km/h).Consult your tire manufacturer for maxi-
mum speed capabilities.
†Although a tire may be speed rated, we do not endorse
the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful
manner. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests
which relate to performance on the road, but are not
applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn
out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired, or re-
treaded. Furthermore, tire speed ratings do not implythat vehicles can be safely driven at the maximum speed
for which the tire is rated, particularly under adverse
road and weather conditions or if the vehicle has un-
usual characteristics. Most highway passenger tires that
do not have a speed symbol in the sidewall have a
maximum speed rating of 105 mph. Light truck highway
tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of
the tire have a maximum speed of 87 mph. Some light
truck tires may have higher maximum speeds; consult
your tire retailer. The speed and other ratings of re-
treaded tires are assigned by the retreader and voids the
original manufacturer’s ratings.
IMPORTANT:In order to maintain the speed capability
of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed rat-
ings equal to or higher than those fitted as original
equipment (as indicated onthe vehicle placard or Own-
er’s Manual). If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted,
the speed capability of the vehicle will be lowered to the
maximum speed capability of the replacement tire as
indicated on the above table.
Remember...High speed driving can be dangerous and
may be damaging to your tires.
And...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation
pressure is especially important.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for their position
and assistance on the repair of speed-rated tires. When
you are replacing tires that have a speed rating, you must
replace with tires of the same or higher speed rating if the
speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.
VISUAL INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED
TIRE OR WHEEL.Check your tires frequently for scrapes,bulges, separations, cuts, snags, cracks, penetrations
or excessive localized wear from hard braking. Also
check for abnormal tire wear, particularly on the edges
of the tire tread which may be caused by misalignment
or underinflation. Impacts can damage the inner por-
tion of the tire without beingvisible onthe outside. If
damage can be seen on the tires or wheels, or if you
suspect that possible impact damage may have oc-
curred, replace with spare at once and have your tire
store or retailer inspect your tires immediately. Use of a
damaged tire could result in tire destruction. When in-
specting your tires, including the spare, check your air
pressures. If your pressure check indicates that one of
your tires has lost pressure of two pounds or more, look
for signs of penetrations, valve leakage, or wheel dam-
age that may account for the air loss.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high
speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden
stops, frequent driving on roads which are in poor con-
dition, and off-road use. Roads with holes and rocks or
other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment
of your vehicle. When you drive on such roads, drive on
them carefully and slowly, and before driving again at
normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for any
damage, such as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual
wear patterns, etc.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS):Tires contain
Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the grooves of the
tire tread whichshow up when only 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage, your tires
must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage are
dangerous.

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION147

TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire
retailer for advice concerning the correct size of tire and
pressure. Tire size and pressure will depend on the type
and size of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case
must the maximum cold inflation pressure or the tire
load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and your
Owner’s Manual for further recommendations on trailer
towing.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire dam-
age, which can result in an accident. Tires which be-
come unserviceable due to alterations such as truing,
whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liq-
uids, may be excluded from warranty coverage. Consult
your tire warranty.
HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Infiniti ve-
hicle is designed for temporary use only and
must not be used continually as a regular tire.
The standard tire should be repaired and/or
replaced as soon as possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage
the tire through impact or cutting, such as
potholes, glass,metal, etc.
3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for
non-speed-rated temporary spare tires.4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife
which can vary depending on road conditions
and your driving habits. The spare tire should
be returned to the trunk as soon as the stan-
dard tire can be repaired or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was spe-
cifically designed for your car, it should not be
used on any other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure
spare. This could cause damage to your
vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly
and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2) even when
not in use.
8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be
used with any other rim nor should standard
tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on the
high-pressure spare tire rim which was origi-
nally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the
tire, replace it only with the same type spare
tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a tem-
porary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes
suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tem-
porary spare.
Note:When using any temporary type spare
tire, be sure to follow the vehicle Own-
er’s Manual instructions.
TIRE STORAGE
All tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so
that there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool
place away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot
pipes and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on
which tires are stored are clean and free from grease,
gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate
the rubber. (Tires exposed tothese materials during
storage or driving could be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and Possible Accident:●Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
●Do not underinflate/overinflate.
