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 
predetermined “Adjustment  Price.”
REPLACEMENT WARRANTY If you receive a replacement tire under this 
Limited Warranty, it will be covered by the 
manufacturer’s warranty, if any, given on that 
tire at that time.

SAFETY WARNINGS
Property damage, serious injury or death may 
result from: 
••TIRE FAILURE DUE TO 
UNDERINFLATION/OVERLOADING/
MISAPPLICATION.
Follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire 
placard in vehicle. 
••TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE/
IMPROPER MAINTENANCE.
Tires should be inspected regularly by a 
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 
and clip-on extension air hose to inflate.
••FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON 
APPROVED RIMS. 
••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.

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.

Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle 
can be safely driven at the maximum speed 
for which the tire is rated. In addition, some 
damages or improper repairs may cause a 
speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating. 
Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating 
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.
SPEED SYMBOLS -are shown on the sidewall 
of some tires. The following table shows the 
maximum speed corresponding to the symbol.SPEED RATINGS

*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.
