SAFETY WARNINGSProperty 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 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.

* 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.

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 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.

HAZARDS
Objects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely
avoided. These objects arepotholes, glass,metal,
rocks, wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact
should prompt a thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object that can
damage or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicle
experiences any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance or
noise and/or you suspect that possible damage to the
tires or vehicle has occurred, DO NOT JAM OR LOCK YOUR
BRAKES! Rather reduce your speed and drive with cau-
tion until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and
inspect the tires. If the tire is underinflated or damaged,
deflate, remove the tire and rim assembly and replace it
with your spare. If you cannot detect a cause, have the
vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire retailer to
have the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a tire your-
self. Tire changing can be dangerous and must be done
by professionally trained persons using proper tools
and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufactur-
ers Association (RMA). Follow these mounting recom-
mendations. Your tires should be mounted on wheels of
correct size and type and which are in good, clean con-
dition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels may cause tire
damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign
materials. Have your retailer check the wheels before
mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and rims can
explode during mounting. Also, mismatched tires and
rims can result in dangerous tire failure on the road. If a
tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do not remount it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may be dam-
aged internal
ly (which is not extern ally visible) by being
dangerously stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are
mounted, have new valves of the correct type installed.
Tubeless tires must be mounted only on wheels de-
signed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels which have safety
humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube or
inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps.
This will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard
against leakage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE RETAILER
AT ONCE. Some tire manufacturers do not warrant any
inspection or repair process. The repair is entirely the
responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in the tread of a
passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of an inch
(6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by following
the Rubber Manuf acturer’s Association (RMA)Passen-
ger and Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact the
manufacturer of your tires for it s position and assistance
as to the acceptable location for a proper repair and the
repair of speed rated tires. Do not use plug repairs. They
may cause further damage to the tire. They are not
always air tight and the plug may fail. Do not exceed
posted speed limits on any repaired tire. Certain tire
manufacturers speed ratings are voided if the tire is
repaired. Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural
damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred.
Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to be
removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds
1/4 inch (6mm), the tire must be replaced. If any tire has
sustained a puncture, have the tire inspected internally
by a tire retailer for possible damage that may have
occurred.
Improper mounting and inflation procedures can cause
an explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially
trained persons should perform these tasks. Contact
your tire store or retailer for assistance.
CAUTION - Never, under any c
ircumstance, introduce a
flammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
Wheel alignment and balancing are important for safety
and maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your
tires are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are
wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect
excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of align-
ment or balance. These conditions not only shorten the
life of your tires, but adversely affect the handling char-
acteristics of your vehicle which could be dangerous. If
you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your align-
ment and balance checked immediately. Tires which
have been run underinflated will show more wear on the
shoulders than in the center of the tread.
