Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability.When changing tire sizes, always con-
sult Dealer for optimum rim width and carefully checkvehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Goodyear for any reason. Speed ratings and
U.S. Department of Transportation test compliance cer-
tifications are voided for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
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.

tation safety standards.
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
conditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over
time is a function of the storage and service conditions
(inflation 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 havetires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and
treadwear.
Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual (or your
vehicle) to determine if it is equipped with run-
flat (extended mobility) tires. If your vehicle is
equipped with run-flat tires, the following ap-
plies:

GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
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 information
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 Good-
year 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 exter-
nal inspections must be performed by service personnel
at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility. Do not
attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires yourself;
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 ex-
tension 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
system. If applied to a vehicle without a properly oper-
ating low tire pressure-monitoring system, the tires may
fail when operated in an underinflated condition, result-
ing 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.

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.
(Continued on next page)
HANKOOK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 37
●WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced
by trained personnel when 2/32nds inch (1.6mm) of
tread depth remain, as indicated by treadwear indi-
cators molded into the tread grooves. Use of worn-
out tires (less than 2/32nds of an inch remaining
tread depth) increases the probability of tire failure.
In most states, it is illegal to drive with less than
2/32nds of an inch of remaining tread depth.
●SPEED LIMITS
Operating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed
limits or the maximum speeds justified by driving
conditions can be dangerous. Excessive speed cre-
ates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire
failure.
●SPEED-RATED TIRES
Speed-rated tires are identified by letters S, T, H, V,
W, or Z as either part of the size designation (e.g.,
HR) , or part of the service description adjacent to the
size designation (e.g., 94H) and indicates the maxi-
mum speed capability of the tire when properly
loaded and inflated. However, even when properly
loaded and inflated, driving for prolonged periods at
high speeds can cause tire damage and possible tire
failure which could lead to an accident. Original
equipment speed-rated tires must be replaced with
tires of the same or higher speed rating if the speed
capability of the vehicle is to be maintained. Consult
your Hankook dealer for the tires best suited to your
vehicle driving habit. Repairing of speed-rated tires
must be done in accordance with RMA repair pro-
cedures and is limited to one 1/4 diameter repair in
the tread area.
●TIRE ROTATION
Rotate your tires for longer tire life. Front and rear
tires perform different jobs and can wear differently.
Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for mileage
recommendations and rotation patterns.
●ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TEM-
PORARY TIRE
A. Air pressure. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after
installation and inflate to 60 psi. The tire pressure
should be checked monthly and maintained at
60 psi while the tire is stored or in service.
B. Vehicle restriction. The temporary spare tire was specifically designed
for your car and should not be used on any other
vehicle.
C. Other restrictions. The temporary spare tire should not be used with
other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers, or trim rings be used with the tempo-
rary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage
to these items or other vehicle components may
occur.
