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

the same basic construction and quality with 
a different sidewall or tread configuration. If a 
higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, 
the difference in price will be at an additional 
charge to you.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to 
this warranty will be covered by the Goodyear 
or Dunlop warranty in effect at the time of 
replacement.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life 
and the coverage of this limited warranty 
ends when the treadwear indicators become

qualified technician for signs of damage, 
such as punctures or impacts.
••TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER 
REPAIRS.
See Rubber Manufacturer’s Association 
(RMA) established repair procedures at 
www.rma.org and/or go to www.goodyear.
com for information on proper repair 
procedures. 
••EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY 
DUE TO IMPROPER MOUNTING. 
Only specially-trained persons should mount 
tires. When mounting tires, use safety cage

••FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL 
ASSEMBLIES COMPLETELY 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 disintegration 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

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 treadwear, 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 
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, (3) 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 
certification label or in the vehicle Owner’s 
Manual:
Underinflation 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 resistance, 
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. 
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may 
deteriorate ride and generate unwanted 
vibration. Overinflation also increases the 
chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE 
OR TIRES
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, 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 is important for proper tire load 
distribution and function. 
The maximum load capacity stamped on the 
sidewalls of P-Metric & European Metric tires 
is reduced by 10% when used on a light truck, 
utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric 
or European Metric tires to light trucks that 
specify LT-type replacement tires.
(Continued on next page)
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 

31
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES 
EXCESSIVELY 
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your 
vehicle is stuck in snow, ice, mud or sand. The 
centrifugal forces generated by a free-spinning 
tire/wheel assembly may cause sudden tire 
explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or 
serious personal injury to you or a bystander. 
Never exceed 35 mph/55 km/h, as indicated 
on your speedometer. Use a gentle backward 
and forward rocking motion to free your 
vehicle for continued driving. Never stand near 
or behind a tire spinning at high speeds. For 
example, while attempting to push a vehicle 
that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin 
balance machine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR 
WEAR
Always remove tires from service when 
they reach two thirty-seconds of an inch 
(2/32) remaining tread depth. All new tires 
have treadwear indicators which appear as 
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they 
wear to the two thirty-seconds of an inch 
(2/32) level. Many wet weather accidents 
result from skidding on bald or nearly bald 
tires. Excessively worn tires are also more 
susceptible to penetrations. 
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR 
DAMAGE 
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your 
tires for signs of damage and their general 
condition is important for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire Dealer inspect 
them. Impacts, penetrations, cracks, knots, 
bulges or air loss always require tire removal 
and expert inspection. Never perform a 
temporary repair or use an inner tube as a 
substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified 
persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR NOTE: 
Goodyear and Dunlop do not warrant any 
inspection or repair process. The repair is 
entirely the responsibility of the repairer and 
should be made in accordance with established 
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) 
procedures. 
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 manufacturers and to Goodyear 
and Dunlop’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.
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

32
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT 
SIZES AND TYPES ON THE SAME 
AXLE
For optimum handling and control, 
Goodyear and Dunlop recommend 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 than the Original 
Equipment size, see a professional installer in 
order to make certain that proper clearance, 
load carrying capacity and inflation pressure 
is 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 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 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.
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.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL 
GUIDELINES
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 Dealer 
for optimum rim width and carefully check 
vehicle/tire clearances.
