2018 DODGE DURANGO SRT tire size

MAX LOAD AND INFLATION
The maximum load and inflation pressure is marked on the tire sidewall
in English and metric units.
PLY COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS
The number of plies and their generic composition of cord materials in
the sidewall and tread areas can be found on at least one sidewall of a
tire.
RADIAL MARKING
A radial ply tire will have the word “radial” marked on at least one
sidewall. An “R” found in the tire size marking also refers to the tire
being a radial ply tire.
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING SYSTEM (UTQG)
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards (UTQG) were created to
help you make an informed decision when purchasing passenger car tires
by providing relative information about a tire’s treadwear, traction, and
temperature characteristics. Here is a breakdown of the different catego-
ries that the UTQG grades:
TREAD WEAR
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire graded150would wear one and a
half (1½) times as well on the government course as a tire graded100. The
relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, areAA, A, BandC. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specific government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.

•EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY DUE TO IMPROPER
MOUNTING.Only specially trained persons should mount tires.
•FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON APPROVED RIMS.
•FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL ASSEMBLIES COM-
PLETELY 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 indicated on the
speedometer.
•EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.This can also result in tire disinte-
gration or axle failure.
WARNING!
Vehicle handling, traction, ride comfort and other performance
parameters may be significantly affected 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 selecting 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 clearance 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 aggressive 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 to help ensure satisfactory mileage and performance
from your Goodyear or Dunlop tires is to give them a simple but frequent
(at least monthly) inspection for proper inflation, even tread wear and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION PRESSURE 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

DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND TYPES ON THE
SAME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear recommends 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. Vehicle 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 selected. Never exceed
the maximum load capacity and inflation pressure listed on the
sidewall of the tire. Always drive safely and obey all traffic laws.
Avoid sudden, sharp turns or aggressive 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 diameter 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 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.

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)
or Reinforced tire. If the vehicle was originally equipped with
“Extra Load” (XL) or Reinforced tires, replace those tires with
similar-sized Extra Load (XL) or Reinforced 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.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can cause instability.
When changing tire sizes, always consult Dealer for optimum rim width
and carefully check vehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted by Goodyear
for any reason. Speed ratings and U.S. Department of Transportation test
compliance certifications 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 recom-
mendations or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles / 10,000 km.

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

•WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained
personnel when 2/32 nds inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth remain, as
indicated by treadwear indicators molded into the tread grooves. Use
of worn-out tires (less than 2/32 nds of an inch remaining tread depth)
increases the probability of tire failure. In most states, it is illegal to
drive with less than 2/32 nds 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 creates 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 maximum
speed capability of the tire when properly loaded and inflated.
However, even when properly loaded and inflated, driving for pro-
longed 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 accor-
dance with RMA repair procedures and is limited to one 1/4diameter
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.
