REPLACEMENT PRICE
Radial passenger and light truck tires adjusted
under this Limited Warranty will be replaced
free of charge during the first 25% of tread
wear or within 12 months from the date of
purchase (proof of purchase date required;
without proof of purchase date, then within
12 months from the date of tire manufacture),
whichever occurs first. During the free
replacement period, mounting and balancing
are included free of charge.
To determine the replacement price after the
free tire replacement period, the percent of
used tread wear is multiplied by the current
selling price for the replacement tire(s). The
appropriate taxes, mounting, balancing,
disposal fee, and other service charges may be
added to the adjustment replacement price.
In Canada, the tire will be adjusted at
retailers (subject to retailer discretion) at a

CONSUMER RIGHTS
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state or in Canada
from province to province.
CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
To the extent permitted by law, Bridgestone
Firestone North American Tire, LLC disclaims
all other warranties, including but not limited
to the implied warranties of merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose and
any liability for incidental, consequential
damages, loss of time, loss of vehicle use or,
inconvenience. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This Limited Warranty applies only to
consumers actually using the tire in the United
States and Canada. For warranty conditions
outside the United States and Canada, see
your local Bridgestone Firestone distributor.
Obligations under this policy may not be
enlarged or altered by anyone.
In accordance with Federal Law, this Limited
Warranty has been designated as a "Limited
Warranty.” Nothing in this Limited Warranty
is intended to be a representation that tire
failures cannot occur. This Limited Warranty is given in the United States by Bridgestone
Firestone North American Tire, LLC, 535
Marriott Dr., Nashville, TN 37214 and in
Canada by Bridgestone Firestone Canada Inc.,
5770 Hurontario St., Suite 400, Mississauga,

OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
In order to keep this Limited Warranty valid,
we require you to have your tires regularly
inspected and rotated per the vehicle Owner’s
Manual and to furnish proof of same in order
to receive an adjustment. Such proof should
show the date, mileage, and servicing location.
A sales receipt containing this information
will suffice. It is your obligation to maintain
proper tire inflation pressures as specified by
the vehicle manufacturer and to operate the
vehicle within tire/vehicle load capacity and
speed limitations. It is also your obligation
to maintain proper wheel alignment and
tire/wheel assembly balance. To request an
adjustment, you must present the tire to an
authorized Bridgestone Firestone retailer.

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.

information You must go to an authorized
Goodyear or Dunlop outlet for replacement
tires and all warranty service.
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

WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Michelin Passenger and Light Truck tires, used
in normal service on the vehicle on which they
were originally fitted and in accordance with
the maintenance recommendations and safety
warnings contained in the owner’s manual
and in the Important Tire Safety Information
Section of this booklet, are covered by this
warranty against defects in workmanship
and material for the life of the original usable
tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase,
whichever comes first. At that time, all
warranties, express or implied, are terminated.
The usable tread is the original tread down
to the level of the tread wear indicators
- 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is documented by
new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If
no proof of purchase, coverage will be based
on date of manufacture.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture, whether
repairable or not);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or improper repair; • Underinfation, overinflation, improper
maintenance or other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment resulting in uneven or
rapid wear;
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.
WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to
a condition covered by this warranty will be
replaced with a comparable new Michelin
tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn,
(or 25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to
the user) and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. Mounting and balancing of tires is
included. The cost of any other service charges
or applicable taxes are payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of
original tread has been worn (or more than
25%, whichever is most beneficial to the user)
or after 12 months from date of purchase, the
user must pay the cost of a comparable new
Michelin passenger or light truck replacement
tire on a pro-rata basis. The retailer shall
determine the charge by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread
worn by the current actual selling price at
the adjustment location or the price on the
current Michelin Base Price List, whichever is
lower. This List is based on a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the actual
selling price of the tire. The cost of mounting,
balancing and any other service charges or
applicable taxes are payable by the user.
WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO
When making a claim under the terms of this
warranty, the consumer must present the tire
to an authorized Michelin Retailer. To locate
an Authorized Tire Retailer, check the yellow

will cause the tire to build up excessive heat
which can cause tire damage that could result
in sudden tire destruction and rapid air loss.
Failure to control a vehicle with sudden air loss
can lead to an accident. In any case, you should
not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by
the legal limits and driving conditions.

*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a
speed capacity of greater than 149 mph
(240 km/h). Consult your tire manufacturer
for maximum speed ratings if your vehicle
capability exceeds this speed. **Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed for use
on cars with maximum speed capabilities
in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h). Consult
your tire manufacturer for maximum speed
capabilities.
†Although a tire may be speed rated, we do
not endorse the operation of any vehicle in
an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings
are based on laboratory tests which relate
to performance on the road, but are not
applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded,
worn out, damaged, altered, improperly
repaired, or retreaded. Furthermore, tire speed
ratings do not imply that vehicles can be safely
driven at the maximum speed for which the tire
is rated, particularly under adverse road and
weather conditions or if the vehicle has unusual
characteristics. Most highway passenger
tires that do not have a speed symbol in the
sidewall have a maximum speed rating of 105
mph. Light truck highway tires that do not
have a speed symbol on the sidewall of the tire
have a maximum speed of 87 mph. Some light
truck tires may have higher maximum speeds;
consult your tire retailer. The speed and other
ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the
retreader and voids the original manufacturer’s
ratings.
IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the speed
capability of the vehicle, replacement tires
must have speed ratings equal to or higher
than those fitted as original equipment (as
indicated on the vehicle placard or Owner’s
Manual). If tires with lower speed ratings are
fitted, the speed capability of the vehicle will be
lowered to the maximum speed capability of
the replacement tire as indicated on the above
table.
Remember...High speed driving can be
dangerous and may be damaging to your tires.
And...When driving at highway speeds, correct
inflation pressure is especially important.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for
their position and assistance on the repair of
speed-rated tires. When you are replacing tires
that have a speed rating, you must replace
with tires of the same or higher speed rating
if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be
maintained.
VISUAL INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON A
DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL.
Check your tires
frequently for scrapes, bulges, separations,
cuts, snags, cracks, penetrations or excessive
localized wear from hard braking. Also check
for abnormal tire wear, particularly on the
edges of the tire tread which may be caused
by misalignment or underinflation. Impacts can
damage the inner portion of the tire without
being visible on the outside. If damage can be
seen on the tires or wheels, or if you suspect
that possible impact damage may have
occurred, replace with spare at once and have
your tire store or retailer inspect your tires
immediately. Use of a damaged tire could
