SAFETY WARNING:
Ignoring any of the safety and information contained in this limited
warranty and Adjustment Policy may result in tire failure, causing
serious injury or death.
•Tire failure due to underinflation/overloading.Follow vehicle own-
er ’s manual or tire placard in vehicle for proper inflation and loading.
•Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper tire mounting.Ti re
mounting / demounting can be dangerous. It should be performed
only by a trained tire specialist using proper tools and procedures.
Prior to tire mounting/demounting, the Rubber Manufacturers Asso-
ciation (RMA) wall charts and manuals should be read to obtain the
proper procedures. The failure to follow these procedures may result
in faulty positioning of the tire and/or rim, which may cause the
assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause injury or death.
•Tire failure due to damage.Inspect your tires frequently for scrapes,
bulges, separations, cuts, snags and other damage from road hazards.
Damage from impact can occur to the inner portions of your tire
without being visible to the outside. If you suspect a tire has been
damaged from striking anything unusual in the road, you must have
the tire removed from the rim and inspected both inside and out by a
trained tire specialist. Air loss or unusual tire wear can also be warning
signs that a tire may have internal damage. If you notice these
conditions, have your tire inspected by a trained individual.
•Tire failure due to excessive tire spinning.Avoid tire spinning. The
centrifugal force generated by a free-spinning tire/rim assembly may
cause a sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or
serious injury or death. Never exceed 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated
on your speedometer when your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or
sand and your tire(s) is/are spinning. Use a gentle backward and
forward rocking motion to free your vehicle for continued driving.
Never stand or permit anyone else to stand near or behind a tire
spinning while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck.

GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES
HIGHWAY AUTO AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE WARRANTY AND
ADJUSTMENT POLICY (EXCLUDES GOODYEAR® UNISTEEL®
RADIAL LIGHT TRUCK TIRES)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the benefits of this Limited Warranty if you meet all
the following criteria:
•You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of new Goodyear
or Dunlop® highway auto or light truck tires supplied as Original
Equipment on your vehicle.
•Your tires bear Department of Transportation prescribed tire identifi-
cation numbers.
•Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which they were
originally installed according to the vehicle manufacturer ’s or Good-
year ’s recommendations.
•Your tires were purchased on or after March 1, 2014.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires identified with the “LT”
designation in the sidewall stamping.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway radial auto or radial light truck
tire, covered by this policy, removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition during the first 2/32of usable tread or twelve
months from date of purchase, whichever comes first, will be replaced
with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tire at no charge, including
mounting and balancing. (Without proof of purchase the date of manu-
facture will be used to determine eligibility.)
ALL OTHER HIGHWAY AUTO OR LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto or light truck tire, other
than radial auto or radial light truck tires, removed from service due to
a covered warranty condition during the first 1/32of usable tread will
GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES
123
Page 125 of 316

be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tire at no
charge, including mounting and balancing.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Goodyear or Dunlop temporary spare tire removed from service due
to a covered warranty condition during the first 50% of usable tread wear
(1/32) will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
temporary spare tire at no charge, including mounting.
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement that are removed from service due
to a covered warranty condition will be replaced with a comparable new
Goodyear or Dunlop tire on a prorated basis for up to six (6) years from
the date of original new tire purchase or when the treadwear indicators
become visible (worn to 2/32), whichever occurs first. (Without proof of
purchase the date of manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)
HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES BE CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the tire’s advertised
retail selling price at the time of adjustment by the percentage of usable
original tread that has been worn off. You pay for mounting and
balancing, and an amount equal to the current Federal Excise Tax (F.E.T.
– U.S. only) and any other applicable taxes and government-mandated
charges.
EXAMPLE:If your disabled tire had an original 8/32 of usable tread
wear and is worn to 4/32 usable tread remaining, you have used 50% and
therefore must pay 50% of the advertised retail selling price of the
comparable tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount equal to the full current Federal
Excise Tax (U.S. only) or any other applicable taxes and government-
mandated charges for the comparable new replacement tire at the time of
adjustment. If the price of the new comparable tire is $130.00, the cost to
you would be $65.00 plus F.E.T. (U.S. only) plus any other applicable
taxes and government-mandated charges.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop tire will be the same brand tire
and may be either the same line of tire or, in the event that the tire is not
available, the same brand tire with the same basic construction and
GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES
124
Page 126 of 316

similar performance attributes with a different sidewall or tread configu-
ration. If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the difference in
price will be at an additional charge to you. Any replacement tire
provided pursuant to this warranty will be covered by the warranty in
effect at the time of replacement.
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 manufac-
ture will be used to determine eligibility.)
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United States and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?

•Tires submitted for ride disturbance complaints that are worn beyond
the first two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32) tread depth or tires
submitted for ride disturbance due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.

of adding such material.
