ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and the
coverage of this limited warranty ends when the tread-
wear indicators become visible (worn to 2/32) or six (6)
years from the date of new tire purchase, whichever
occurs first. (Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)
LIMITATIONS

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
No Representative or Dealer has authority to make any
representation, promise or agreement on behalf of
Goodyear, except as stated herein. Any tire, no matter
how well constructed, may fail in service or otherwise
become unserviceable due to conditions beyond the
control of the manufacturer. Under no circumstances is
this warranty a representation that a tire failure cannot
occur. DISCLAIMER: THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF, AND
GOODYEAR HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMI-
TATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NO OTHER WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF
ANY KIND IS MADE BY GOODYEAR OR SHALL BE
IMPLIED BY LAW.
LIMITATION OF DAMAGES: IN NO EVENT AND UN-
DER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL GOODYEAR BE
LIABLE TO THE BUYER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPE-
CIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST
PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOOD-
WILL OR REPUTATION, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAM-
AGE, COST (INCLUDING FOR REPLACEMENT
TRANSPORTATION) , EXPENSE OR LOSS OF ANY
KIND. SOME STATES AND PROVINCES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCI-
DENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT AP-
PLY TO YOU.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you
may also have other rights that vary from state to state or
province to province.(Continued on next page)

GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

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 reduce
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.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR
OWN TIRES
Serious injury or death may result from explosion of
tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting proce-
dures. Follow tire manufacturer’s instructions and
match tire diameter 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 recom-
mends 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 con-
sult 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
from the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load-carrying capacity and inflation pressure are 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 sudden,
sharp turns or aggressive lane changes. Failure to fol-
low 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.
NOTE: Goodyear-manufactured and/or marketed
European-Metric and P-Metric passenger tires are in-
terchangeable as long as they have the same section
width, same aspect ratio and same rim diameter.Cau-
tion: Never substitute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire
for an Extra Load (XL) orReinforced tire. If the
vehicle was originally equipped with “Extra
Load” (XL) or Reinforcedtires, replace those
tires with similar sized Extra Load(XL) orRe-
inforced tires.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES
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 winter 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
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.

●GENERAL EXCLUSIONS
I. No Hankook Tire employee, retailer or dealer has the authority to make any warranty, representation, prom-
ise or agreement on behalf of Hankook Tire except as
stated in this policy.
J. Tires used in racing related activities or competitive events are not covered by this warranty.
K. Limitation of remedy: to the extent permitted by law, HANKOOK disclaims liability for all consequential
and incidental damages. Some provinces and states
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation
or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have the rights which vary from province to province
in Canada, and from state to state in the U.S.A.
3. HANKOOK’S OBLIGATIONS
Replacement qualifying under this warranty will be
made by a participating Hankook Dealer or a participat-
ing Car Dealer.
4. OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
A. You must present the tire to a participating Hankook Dealer or a participating Car Dealer.
B. For free replacement, a proof of purchase date such as car dealer invoice should be presented. C. No claim will be recognized unless submitted on a
Hankook claim form completely filled out and signed
by the owner or a participating Hankook Dealer or

WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY
●TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may
cause tire beads to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim, causing personal
injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber
Manufacturers Association installation and safety
procedure for mounting and inflating tires. Tire and
rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and
beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended
pressure to seat beads on rim. Use remote control
inflation equipment and inflation cage.
NOTE:
Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads. Mount
radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel
manufacturer as suitable for radial tire. Only spe-
cially trained persons shall mount tires.
●AIR PRESSURECheck the pressure in your tires, including your spare,
at least monthly, and always before and during ex-
tended driving. Check tires cold (at least 3 hours after
the vehicle has been stopped and before it is driven
more than 1.6 kilometers or 1 mile) . Do not reduce
pressure when tires are hot, use an accurate air pres-
sure gauge to check pressure and maintain it at the
level recommended on the vehicle tire placard or in the
Owner’s Manual. Underinflation produces extreme
flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Overinflation can
cause the tires to be more susceptible to impact dam-
age. Cold tire pressures, however, should never be
higher than the limit molded on the sidewall.
●LOAD LIMITS
Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto
the sidewall of your tires or the maximum vehicle load
limit as shown on the vehicle tire placard, whichever
is less. Overloading builds up excessive heat in the
tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
●HAZARDS
Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks,
curbs, metal, glass, etc.) which may possibly cause
internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has
suffered internal damage (which may not be exter-
nally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. De-
termination of suspected internal damage requires
demounting the tire from its rim and examination by
trained tire personnel.

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTY
Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand
passenger tires, light truck tires and “T” Type temporary
spare tires mounted on vehicles as original equipment
for adjustable conditions as follows:
Important:In accordance with Federal Law, this war-
ranty has been designated as a “Limited Warranty.”
Nothing in this limited warranty is intended to be a
representation that tire failures cannot occur:
WHAT IS COVERED BY THE LIMITED
WARRANTY
Toyo brand passenger tires, light truck tires and full size
spare tires are warranted for adjustable conditions for
the new, original usable tread until worn down to the
tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining) or for 60 months from the date of purchase
(as verified by a copy of the original new vehicle pur-
chase invoice) , whichever comes first. In the event the
original new vehicle purchase invoice is unavailable, the
DOT serial number will be used to determine eligibility.
See “What Is Not Covered” listed below. Presence of a
manufacturing anomaly is not necessarily required to
qualify for adjustment. (1) When 25% or less of the original usable tread
of a radial tire has been worn, the tire will be
replaced with a comparable new Toyo tire free
of charge, including mounting and balancing.
The original usable tread is the original tread
down to the level of the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) . Ad-
justments for ride disturbances or vibration,
which cannot be corrected by balancing, are
only adjustable in the first 25% of usable tread
(a set of four tires will not be accepted for ride
disturbance) . Service charges or any applicable
taxes are payable by you.
(2) When more than 25% of the original usable tread of a radial tire has been worn, the user
must pay for the cost of a comparable new
Toyo replacement tire based on the amount of
tread used. This is calculated by dividing the
number of 32nds of an inch used by the origi-
nal usable tread depth and multiplying by the
actual current dealer selling price. The original
usable tread is the original tread down to the
level of the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of
an inch of tread remaining) . Service charges or
any applicable taxes are payable by you. (3) The tires must be used in normal highway ser-
vice on the vehicle they were originally installed,
used in non-commercial service and in accor-
dance with the maintenance recommendations
and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
“T” TYPE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
If an examination by Toyo shows that the “T” Type
temporary spare tire does not conform to this limited
warranty, it will be replaced with a comparable new Toyo
tire by an authorized Toyo dealer as follows:
(1) When 50% or less of the original usable tread has been worn, the tire will be replaced with a
comparable new Toyo tire free of charge.
Mounting and balancing, service charges or
any applicable taxes are payable by you.
(2) When more than 50% of the original usable tread has been worn, you must pay for the cost
of a comparable new Toyo replacement tire
based on the amount of tread used. Mounting
and balancing, service charges or any appli-
cable taxes are payable by you.

TIRE SPEED RATINGS
Falken recommends replacing your tire(s) with the same
speed rating as the original tires equipped on your vehicle.
It is okay to use a lower speed rated tire when using
winter tires. However, speeds should be reduced to
match the tires new “maximum” speed capability.
Any tire that is repaired, damaged, abused, altered from
its original state or retreaded voids the speed rating on
that particular tire and should be considered a non-
speed rated tire.
WARNINGSAFETY WARNING
Falken does not recommend the use of
mixing different speed ratings on a ve-
hicle. This can cause poor handling and
unpredictable steering.
HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW ASPECT RATIO TIRES
Various new vehicles come equipped with high perfor-
mance and/or low aspect ratio tires from the factory.
These tires generally provide increased vehicle handling
characteristics, but may also have engineering perfor-
mance trade-offs related with their designs. Low aspect
ratio tires have reduced sidewall heights and may be
more vulnerable to damage from road hazards, pot-
holes, and other objects, like curbs. Your vehicle’s
wheels are susceptible to these same dangers as well.
Some vehicles may be originally equipped with high
performance tires that are designed for warmer weather
use reducing traction in colder, winter weather condi-
tions. High performance tires also pose the possibility of wearing more quickly, giving a stiffer ride, and produc-
ing louder noise than standard all-season tires during
operation. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual, tire
information placard, or qualified tire service professional
for more information about these kinds of tires.
WINTER TIRES
Falken recommends all four tires be replaced when
replacing your original equipment tires and installing
winter tires for the winter months.
WARNING
SAFETY WARNING
Never use just two winter tires. It could
lead to adverse handling, loss of control,
which could cause serious injury or death.
STORING YOUR TIRES
When storing your tires for any extended period of time,
be sure to thoroughly clean your tires with a tire brush,
soap, and water to remove any dirt, salt, and brake dust
from the tires. If you are storing your tires still mounted
on the wheels, use a wheel brush and approved wheel
cleaner to clean your wheels. Then dry the wheels and
tires with a towel and allow them to fully dry. DO NOT
apply any tire dressings while storing your tires. Tire
compounds are made to resist weather cracking and
ozone damage. Place each clean and dry tire in an
airtight plastic bag and seal the bag with tape to help
reduce oil evaporation. Store your tires out of direct
sunlight and somewhere that is well shielded from the
elements, like a climate-controlled room or dry base-
ment. Storing the tires in a garage or shed usually
exposes the tires to a wide range of temperatures as well as precipitation and humidity. Keep the tires away
from sources that emit ozone like electric motors that
use contact brushes, furnaces, sump pumps, etc. Al-
though tires will still age regardless of how they are
stored, these precautions will help slow the aging pro-
cess and reduce the damage to your tires.
WARNING
SAFETY WARNING
Operating your vehicle in excess of the
posted speed limit or the maximum speed
allotted by driving conditions has the po-
tential to be dangerous. Higher driving
speeds create excessive heat buildup in a
tire, leading to a possible tire failure.
TIRE SPINNING
WARNING SAFETY WARNING
Spinning a tire to get a stuck vehicle out of
mud, ice, snow, sand, or wet grass can be
potentially dangerous. A spinning tire at a
speedometer reading above 55 km/h
(35 mph) can be capable of disintegrating
a tire with explosive force. In some circum-
stances, a tire may be spinning at twice
the speed displayed on the speedometer.
This can cause serious injury or death to
you, a passenger, or bystander. Never spin
a tire above 55 km/h (35 mph) .
