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
ex
pert 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
t h

e vehicle manufacturer as shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle
certification label or in the vehicle Owner’s Manual:
Under inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in
se
vere 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.
Over inflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate ride and
ge
nerate 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.
Ov
erloading 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
sh
own 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.

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.

GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES
133
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.

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 pres-
sures, however, should never be higher than the limit molded on the
si
dewall.
• LOAD LIMITS N
ever exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto the sidewall of
yo
ur tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the
vehicle tire placard, whichever is less. Overloading builds up exces-
sive heat in the tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
• HAZARDS A
void running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks, curbs, metal,
gl
ass, 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.
• WORN TIRES N
ever drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained
pe
rsonnel when 2/32 nds inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth remain, as
in

dicated by treadwear indicators molded into the tread grooves.
Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32 nds of an inch remaining tread
depth) increases the probability of tire failure. In most states, it is
illegal to drive with less than 2/32 nds of an inch of remaining tread
depth.
• SPEED LIMITS O
perating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed limits or the
ma
ximum speeds justified by driving conditions can be dangerous.
Excessive speed creates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible
tire failure.
• SPEED-RATED TIRES S
peed-rated tires are identified by letters S, T, H, V, W, or Z as either
pa
rt of the size designation (e.g., HR), or part of the service descrip -
tion adjacent to the size designation (e.g., 94H) and indicates the
ma
ximum speed capability of the tire when properly loaded and
