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.

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.

SMART/ PLAY YOUR PART BROCHURE” PUBLISHED BY
THE RUBBER MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (RMA). A
COPY OF THIS BROCHURE CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM
THE RMA WEBSITE:
www.rma.org/publications/consumer_tire_information
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 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

WHO IS COVERED
The original owner of a MichelinPassenger orLight Truck
tire which bears the Michelin name and complete DOT
identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Michelin Passenge r and Light Truck tires, used in normal
service on the vehicle on which they were originally
fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recom-
mendations and safety warnings contained in the own-
er’s manual and in the Important Tire Safety Informa-
tion Section of this booklet, are covered by this warranty
against defects in workmanship and material for the life
of the original usable tread, or 6 years from the date of
purchase, whichever comes first. At that time, all war-
ranties, express or implied, are terminated. The usable
tread is the original tread down to the level of the tread
wear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new
vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of
purchase, coverage will be based on date of manufac-
ture.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
●Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, puncture, whether repairable or not);
●Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance,
or improper repair;

WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a compa-
rable new Michelin tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of
an inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or
25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to the user)
and within 12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting
and balancing of tires is included. The cost of any other
service charges or applicable taxes are payable by the
user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread
has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most
beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from date of
purchase, the user must pay the cost of a comparable
new Michelin passenger or light truck replacement tire
on a pro-rata b asis.The retailer shall determine the
charge by multiplying the percentage of the original
usable tread worn by the current actual selling price at
the adjustment location or the price on the current Mi-
chelin Base Price List, whichever is lower. This List is
based on a predetermined price intended to fairly rep-
resent the actual selling price of the tire. The cost of
mounting, balancing and any other service charges or
applicable taxes are payable by the user.
WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO
When making a claim under the terms of this warranty,
the consumer must present the tire to an authorized
Michelin Retailer. To locate an Authorized Tire Retailer,
check the yellow pages under “Tire Retailers - Retail.”
The vehicle on which the tire was used should be avail-
able for inspection.
