been used only on the vehicle on which it was
originally installed in non-commercial service.
WHAT IS WARRANTED AND FOR
HOW LONG
Before wearing down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm)
remaining original tread depth (i.e. worn down
to the top of the built-in indicators in the tread
grooves) and within 6 years from the date of
purchase (proof of purchase date required;
without proof of purchase date, then within 6
years from the date of tire manufacture), for
any reason other than those excluded in the
section entitled “What This Limited Warranty
Does Not Cover,” any eligible tire that
becomes unusable for any reason within the
manufacturer’s control will be replaced with
an equivalent new tire on the basis set forth in
this Limited Warranty.

1. Tire damage or irregular wear due to:
A. Road hazards, including, without
limitation: Puncture, cut, impact break,
stone drill, bruise, bulge, snag, etc.

pressure, overloading, tire/wheel
spinning, use of an improper wheel, tire
chain damage, misuse, misapplication,
negligence, tire alteration, or for racing
or competition purposes.
C. Insufficient or improper maintenance,
including, without limitation: Failure
to rotate tires as recommended in this
manual, wheel misalignment, worn
suspension components, improper tire
mounting or demounting, tire/wheel
assembly imbalance, or other vehicle
conditions, defects, or characteristics.
D. Contamination or degradation by
petroleum products or other chemicals,
fire or other externally generated heat, or
water or other material trapped inside the
tire during mounting or inflation. E.
Improper repair. Improper repair voids

F. For RFT tires only, improper run-flat or
low tire pressure operation, including,
without limitation: Exceeding speed,
distance, or other run-flat/ low pressure
operation limitations.

3. Weather/ozone cracking after 4 years from
date of tire manufacture.
4. Ride disturbance or vibration after 1/32 inch
(0.8 mm) of tread wear use.
5. Tires with sealant, balance, or other filler
material that was not originally applied or
inserted by the tire manufacturer.

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 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.
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.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES
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) tire. If the vehicle was
originally equipped with “Extra Load” (XL)
tires, replace those tires with similar sized
XL tires.
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 snow 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 Retailer
for optimum rim width and carefully check
vehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires
are not warranted by Goodyear and Dunlop
for any reason. Goodyear and Dunlop 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
recommendations or at maximum intervals of
6,000 miles/10,000 km.

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
