THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built and tested to
th
e high engineering standards set by North America’s leading car
manufacturers and to Goodyear’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
th
e 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
yo
ur 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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim
as
sembly 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.
DO NOT MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND TYPES ON THE
SA
ME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear® recommends fitment
of
four tires of the same type and size unless otherwise specified by the
vehicle manufacturer.

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,
European Tire and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) or Japan
Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association (JATMA) standards for
correct load and inflation information.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT HAVE LESS
LO
AD-CARRYING CAPACITY THAN REQUIRED BY THE
ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger vans, require Load
Ra
nge 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
pa
ssenger tires and P-Metric passenger tires are interchangeable as
long as they have the same section width, same aspect ratio, same rim
diameter.
WARNING!
Before you replace your tires, always consult the vehicle owner’s
ma
nual 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 from the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load-carrying capacity and inflation pressure are 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 aggressive 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.

FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the deepest tread
de
pth 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 winter 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
lo
west speed rated tires.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can cause
in
stability. When changing tire sizes, always consult dealer for
optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted by
Goodyear® for any reason. Speed ratings and US Department of
Transportation (DOT) test compliance certifications are voided for
retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION, WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND
BA
LANCE AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/ overinflation,
whe
el 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.

CAUTION!
Never substitute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire for an Extra Load
( X
L) or Reinforced tire. If the vehicle was originally equipped
with “Extra Load” (XL) or Reinforced tires, replace those tires with
similar-sized Extra Load (XL) or Reinforced tires.

HOW TO READ A TIRE DOT SERIAL NUMBER
DOT stands for Department of Transportation and the number is on
th
e 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/
k i
lometers 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
ti
re in chronological time since service conditions vary widely. The
serviceability 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 pressure, damage and treadwear.
Check your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual (or your vehicle) to
de
termine 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
on
ly to the Original Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle. In
order for Goodyear® Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Technology
[EMT], RunOnFlat [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
w i
th 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
th
ese 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 -
v
ers.
• Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
R
emember that when your tires have lost air pressure, your
ve
hicle’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
ai
r pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for these
limitations). To help prolong the life of a tire operating in
underinflation conditions, drive at a speed as far below 50 mph
(8
0 km/h) as possible. Also, drive the shortest distance possible before
ob
taining 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,
co
ntact 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,
h i
gh-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!
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;
se
rious 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.

HANKOOK TIRES
LIMITED WARRANTY FOR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PASSENGER
CAR & LIGHT TRUCK TIRES INCLUDING TEMPORARY TIRES
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Hankook warrants that a tire manufactured by Hankook and
eq
uipped originally on the vehicle is free from defects in materials or
workmanship in normal use for the life of the original usable tread.
The life of the original usable tread ends when the tire tread has been
worn down with only 1.6 mm (2/32 nds inch) remaining, at which
po
int the tire is considered to be fully worn out.
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
1. Free replacement I
f Hankook Radial Passenger & Light Truck Tires fail as a result of
de
fect in material and/or workmanship within the first 25% of
treadwear, the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable Han -
kook Tire at no charge including mounting and balancing charges.
2. Pro rated replacement T
ires not qualifying for free replacement will be allowed a credit to -
ward purchase of a new, comparable Hankook Tire based upon the
am
ount of tread actually worn. The cost of mounting, balancing
and any other service charges or applicable taxes shall be paid by
the user. Otherwise adjustment for compensation will be made on
a prorata basis calculated by multiplying the actual current dealer
selling price by the percentage of remaining usable tread depth.
HANKOOK TEMPORARY TIRE
1. A Temporary tire weighs less and provides more trunk storage
s
pace than a conventional tire. To conserve tire tread life, tempo -
rary tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as it is convenient
to
have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
2. If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a result of defect in materials
a
nd/or workmanship during the first 50% of usable treadwear, the
tire will be replaced with a new, comparable tire at no charge
including mounting charge. No adjustment will be made for tires
that are worn more than 50%.
