GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES
130
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

with “Extra Load” (XL) or Reinforced tires, replace those tires with
similar-sized Extra Load (XL) or Reinforced tires.

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

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

Original Equipment Passenger & Light Truck Tire Owner’s Manual
& Limited Warranty
MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED
WA
RRANTY
ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a Michelin® passenger or light truck tire,
yo
u are covered by all the benefits and conditions (subject to the
maintenance recommendations and safety warnings) contained in this
booklet. To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the
terms and conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully. It is
essential that you also read and understand the safety and
maintenance recommendations for tires contained in this booklet.
Limited Mileage Warranty:
Michelin® passenger and light truck tires – replacement and original
eq
uipment – are covered by a limited mileage warranty (hereafter
referred to as limited warranty for treadwear). For the mileage
warranty associated with each tire line, please see your Michelin® tire
retailer – or visit us at
www.michelinman.com/home
.
Certain conditions and limitations apply. Mileage warranties vary by
ti
re line and certain exclusions may apply.
Self-Supporting Tires
Zero Pressure (ZP)
As the purchaser of a Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP)
pa
ssenger tire, mounted on a vehicle approved for ZP tires, equipped
with a properly operating low tire pressure warning system, you are
covered by this warranty. Please pay close attention to the Owner’s
Manual part of this booklet since it provides specific safety and
maintenance information for your ZP tires.
Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires are part of a very
so
phisticated system which is designed to provide a very simple
benefit: Peace of Mind. With these tires, you can maneuver the vehicle
up to 50 miles (80 kilometers) at 55 mph (90 km/h), unless otherwise
sp
ecified in your vehicle owner’s manual, even though the tire has lost
all air! That means time to exit from the highway and get to a place
where the tire can be inspected, replaced, or possibly returned to
MICHELIN®
156
service. The distance that can safely be traveled following an air loss
incident will depend upon the conditions under which the vehicle is
operating, the degree of air loss, the extent of the damage causing the
air loss, the ambient temperature, the load, and the operating speed of
the vehicle. The fewer miles you travel after an air loss incident, the
greater the likelihood that the tire can be re-inflated (or, if punctured,
repaired) and returned to service.
Pax® System
The Michelin® PAX® System is a very sophisticated system that
in
cludes the tire, support ring and gel, pressure sensing device, and
wheel. In the event of a loss of tire air pressure, with this system you
can still carefully maneuver the vehicle at speeds up to 55 mph
(9
0 km/h), for a distance of up to 125 miles (201 km), even though a
ti
re has lost all air! That means time to get off the highway and get to
a place where the tire can be inspected, replaced, or possibly repaired
and returned to service. That is peace of mind!

WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires Michelin® Passenger and Light
Tr
uck tires, used in normal service on the vehicle on which they
were originally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance
recommendations and safety warnings contained in the attached
owner’s manual, are covered by this warranty against defects in
workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable
tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase, whichever occurs first.
At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire. The usable
tread is the original tread down to the level of the tread wear
indicators - 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Date
of
purchase is documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales
invoice. If no proof of purchase is available, coverage will be based
on the date of manufacture.
Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms and
co
nditions described under “How Replacement Charges are
Calculated”.

NOTE:
your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional tire warranty
co
verage over and above what is provided by Michelin. Consult your
vehicle Owner’s Manual for further information.
NOTE:
Some Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires can only be
mo
unted on special SH-M (Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels.
These tires bear the special SH-M designation, molded into the side -
wall of the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT A TIRE
WI
TH THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON THE SIDEWALL ON A
STANDARD WHEEL. DOING SO VOIDS THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO BECOME
UNSERVICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Treadwear – Mileage Warranty Coverage for Michelin® Passenger
an
d Light Truck Tires
Michelin® passenger and light truck tires are covered by a
ma
nufacturer’s limited warranty for treadwear. For the mileage
warranty associated with a specific tire line, please see your
Michelin® tire retailer or visit us at
www.michelinman.com/home
.
Some vehicles come from the vehicle manufacturer with “split
fi
tments” – meaning different size tires on the front and rear axles.
Because these tires cannot be rotated as recommended by Michelin®,
the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover half the number of
miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire design.
Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires have the same
mileage warranty as the standard tire line of which they are a part, up
to but not exceeding 30,000 miles. DOT-approved competition tires
(e
.g., Michelin® Pilot® Sport Cup tires) are excluded from any
mileage warranty. Michelin® Winter tires must be used during winter
months only, defined as a period beginning on or after September 1st
of a given year and ending no later than April 30th of the following
year. Michelin® winter tires require documentation of the timing of
the installation and removal of the tires each winter to maintain
coverage under the limited warranty for treadwear.
An important reminder:
No tire manufacturer can guarantee you a certain number of miles
fr
om a given tire. Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions,
and vehicle maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a
tire does not reach the warranted mileage, and the owner of the tires

HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this
wo
rkmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new Michelin® tire, free of charge, when 2/32 nds of an
inch (1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less,
wh
ichever is more beneficial to the user) and within 12 months of the
da
te of purchase. Mounting and balancing of the tire is included. You
pay the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes. When
more than 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of original tread has been
wo
rn (or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to the user) or
after 12 months from the date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a
co
mparable new Michelin® passenger or light truck replacement tire
on a pro rata basis. The retailer will determine the charge by
multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn, by the
current selling price at the adjustment location or the price in the
current Michelin® Base Price List, whichever is lower. This list is
based on a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the actual
selling price of the tire. You pay the cost of mounting, balancing and
any other service charges and applicable taxes.
Treadwear
A tire meeting the conditions for pro rata replacement, which wears
e v
enly across the tread, down to the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of
an inch tread remaining) within 6 years of the date of purchase, and
before delivering the warranted miles of service, will be replaced with
a comparable new Michelin® tire based on mileage received. The
participating Michelin® tire retailer will determine the charge by
multiplying the percent of mileage received by the current actual
selling price at the adjustment location or the price of the tire in the
current Michelin® Base Price List, whichever is lower. This list is
based on a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the actual
selling price of the tire. You pay the cost of mounting, balancing and
any other dealer services and applicable taxes. Tires which wear out
evenly before delivering the warranted mileage will be replaced on a
pro rata basis only if:
1. Y ou are the original purchaser of the tires, you own the vehicle on
w
hich they were originally installed, and the tires have been used
only on that vehicle;
