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 vehiclemanufacturers 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 PROPER INFLATION PRESSURE
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 cause
of tire failure and may
result in severe cracking, component separation or “blow-
out.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive side-
wall flexing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in
heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper infla-
tion pressure is the single most important thing you can do
to promote tire durability and maximize 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 repeat ed underinflation always requires exper t inspection to determine the source of leak age 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 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 & European Metric tires is reduced by 10%
when used on a light truck, utility vehicle or trailer.
Never fit P-Metric or European 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.
TIRE PRESS URE 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.
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.

GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 29

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 selectin g 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 diam-
eter and load carrying capacity of the Original Equipment
tire. Inflation pressure may need to be adjusted to avoid
overloading the tire. Consult the Tire & Rim Association
Load and Inflation Tables, ETRTO or JATMA standards for
correct load and inflation information.
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.

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 need 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 supplied with
a properly operating low tire pressure-monitoring sys-
tem. 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.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.
