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.
GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES
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
.
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.

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.

– Air pressure.
Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installation and
inflate to 60 psi. The tire pressure should be checked monthly and
maintained at 60 psi while the tire is stored or in service.
– Vehicle restriction.
The temporary spare tire was specifically designed for your car and
should not be used on any other vehicle.
– Other restrictions.
The temporary spare tire should not be used with other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used
with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other vehicle components may occur.
