2018 DODGE DURANGO SRT warning

WARNING!
The traction grades assigned to this tire is based on straight ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades areA(the highest),B, andC, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions or on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce in tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The gradeCcorresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109. GradesBandArepresent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than minimum
required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for each tie is established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-
inflation, or excessive loading either separately or in combination,
can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

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.

•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
GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES
128

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.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built and tested to the
high engineering standards set by North America’s leading car manufac-
turers and to Goodyear ’s own high standards of quality control. It is
designed to take up a minimum of storage space and, at the same time,
fulfill the function of a spare tire when needed. The spare is kept in its
storage space, fully 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 pressure
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 procedures. 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 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.
