pressures when the tires are cold (when the vehicle has been driven less
than one mile). If you must check inflation when the tires are hot, add
4 psi (27 kPa) to the recommended cold inflation pressure. It is difficult
to tell just by looking at radial tires whether they are underinflated.*
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with radial tires, it is
difficult to notice when a tire has gone flat or nearly flat since the “feel”
of the vehicle does not change significantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation always requires expert
inspection to determine the source of leakage and tire removal to
determine repairability.To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to reinflate a
tire that has been run severely underinflated. Progressive air loss may
result from punctures, cuts, curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating.
Some fitment causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead
tearing caused by a machine tool due to insufficient lubrication or
improper adjustment. Leaking valve core or rubber valve components
should be replaced when problems are detected and whenever tires are
replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer as shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle certifi-
cation label or in the vehicle owner ’s manual:
Under inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in
severe cracking, component separation or “blowout.” It reduces tire load
capacity, allows excessive sidewall flexing and increases rolling resis-
tance, resulting in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper
inflation pressure is the single most important thing you can do to
promote tire durability and maximize tread life.
Over inflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate ride and gener-
ate unwanted vibration. Over inflation also increases the chances of
impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE
Check your vehicle owner ’s manual to determine the load limits.
Overloading your vehicle places stress on your tires and other critical
vehicle components. Overloading a vehicle can cause poor handling or
increased fuel consumption and may cause tire failure. Overloading your
tires can result in severe cracking, component separation or “blowout.”
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load capacity than
shown on the vehicle tire placard and remember that optimum rim width

HOW TO READ A TIRE D.O.T. SERIAL NUMBER
D.O.T. stands for Department of Transportation and the number is on the
lower sidewall of each tire to show that the tire meets or exceeds the
Department of Transportation safety standards.
TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands of miles of
excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires must be maintained prop-
erly 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 service-
ability of a tire over time is a function of the storage and service
conditions (inflation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely solely on the
appearance of the tire, but should be aware of any change in dynamic
performance such as increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be
a sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have tires, including
spares, inspected regularly (at least monthly) for proper inflation pres-
sure, damage and treadwear.
Check your vehicle’s owner ’s manual (or your vehicle) to determine if
it is equipped with run-flat (extended mobility) tires. If your vehicle is
equipped with run-flat tires, the following applies:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Brochure applies
only to the Original Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle. In order
for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOn-
Flat [ROF]) or Dunlop Run-Flat (Dunlop Self- Supporting Technology
[DSST]) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated within this Limited
Warranty, Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tires must use specific parts,
such as a low tire pressure monitoring system authorized by the Original
Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire with a
remarkable feature: It can operate for limited distances with very low or
even no inflation pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner ’s Manual for
these limitations). This is an important benefit, especially if inflation loss
occurs at a location where immediately stopping your vehicle could be
hazardous. 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.
WARNING!
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an alert, follow these
safety precautions to prevent a loss of vehicle control that could
result in serious personal injury or death:
•Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 kph).
• Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe handling maneu-
vers.
• Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure, your vehicle’s
handling capability is reduced, particularly during severe
maneuvers.

TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM ALERT
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be driven at low or zero air
pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner ’s Manual for these limitations). To
help prolong the life of a tire operating under low-inflation conditions,
drive at a speed as far below 50 mph (80 kph) as possible. Also, drive the
shortest distance possible before obtaining tire service. Taking these
precautions will increase the chance that your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after operating under low-inflation conditions, contact
your Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility. Trained service
personnel will inspect your tires to determine if they are in need of repair
or replacement. To locate the nearest authorized Goodyear or Dunlop
Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800- GOODYEAR 1-800-466-3932 .
WARNING!
Because of the unique characteristics of Run-Flat tires, the wheels
on which they are mounted and your vehicle’s tire pressure
monitoring system, all tire service work other than routine inflation
maintenance and external inspections must be performed by service
personnel at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires yourself; serious
injury or death could result. Only specially trained persons should
mount, demount and repair Run-Flat tires, and more than 40 psi
(270 kPa) may be required to seat beads. A safety cage and clip-on
extension air hose must be used if more than 40 psi (270 kPa) is need
to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop speed-rated, high-performance tire,
the Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire may be repaired to correct a
puncture in the tread, but PROPER MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES
MUST BE USED. Contact a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility
for information on proper repairs. For the location of the nearest facility,
call 1-800-GOODYEAR 1-800-466-3932 .

WARNING!
Goodyear and Dunlop Run-Flat tires are designed for use only on
certain original equipment wheels supplied with a properly
operating low tire pressure-monitoring system. If applied to a
vehicle without a properly operating low tire pressure monitoring
system, the tires may fail when operated in an underinflated
condition, resulting in loss of vehicle control and possible serious
injury or death. Application of these tires to a vehicle not equipped
with specified operational low tire pressure-monitoring system
constitutes improper and unsafe use of this product.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
NON ADJUSTABLE CONDITIONS
1. Irregular wear or tire damage due to:
•Road hazards such as punctures, cuts, snags, scuffs, carcass bruises
or impact breaks.
• Fire, wreck or collision
• Improper inflation, overloading, high speed spinning, improper
mounting or demounting, running flat, off-road use, racing, vandal-
ism, willful damage or abuse.
• Misalignment, wheel imbalance, defective brakes or shock absorber,
use of tire chains.
• Any tire which has failed as a result of adding materials (e.g. tire
fillers, sealant, or balancing substances).
• Mechanical failure or design of vehicle.
2. Tires fitted to anything other than the original vehicles.
3. Tire worn beyond tread wear indicator (2/32 nds inch or 1.6 mm tread remaining).

and beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended pressure to
seat beads on rim. Use remote control inflation equipment and
inflation cage.
NOTE:
• Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads.
• Mount radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel manufacturer
as suitable for radial tire.
• Only specially trained persons shall mount tires.
• AIR PRESSURE
Check the pressure in your tires, including your spare, at least
monthly, and always before and during extended driving. Check tires
cold (at least 3 hours after the vehicle has been stopped and before it
is driven more than 1.6 kilometers or 1 mile). Do not reduce pressure
when tires are hot, use an accurate air pressure gauge to check
pressure and maintain it at the level recommended on the vehicle tire
placard or in the Owner ’s Manual. Under inflation produces extreme
flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that premature tire
failure may occur. Over inflation can cause the tires to be more
susceptible to impact damage. Cold tire pressures, however, should
never be higher than the limit molded on the sidewall.
• LOAD LIMITS
Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto the sidewall of
your tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the vehicle
tire placard, whichever is less. Overloading builds up excessive heat in
the tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
• HAZARDS
Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks, curbs, metal, glass,
etc.) which may possibly cause internal tire damage. Continued use of
a tire that has suffered internal damage (which may not be externally
visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination of suspected
internal damage requires demounting the tire from its rim and
examination by trained tire personnel.
