GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES
HIGHWAY AUTO AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE WARRANTY AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
(EXCLUDES GOODYEAR® UNISTEEL® RADIAL LIGHT TRUCK TIRES)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE
You are eligible for the benefits of this Limited Warranty if you meet all the following
criteria:
• You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of new Goodyear® or Dunlop® hi

ghway auto or light truck tires supplied as original equipment on your vehicle.
• Your tires bear Department of Transportation (DOT) prescribed tire identification nu

mbers.
• Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which they were originally installed ac

cording to the vehicle manufacturer’s or Goodyear’s® recommendations.
• Your tires were purchased on or after March 1, 2014.
Li g

ht truck tires are defined as all tires identified with the “LT” designation in the sidewall
st a

mping.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear® or Dunlop® highway radial auto or radial light truck tire, covered by
this policy, removed from service due to a covered warranty condition during the first
2/32 of an inch of usable tread or 12 months from date of purchase, whichever comes
f ir

st, will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear® or Dunlop® tire at no charge,
including mounting and balancing. Without proof of purchase the date of manufacture
will be used to determine eligibility.
ALL OTHER HIGHWAY AUTO OR LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
Any new Goodyear® or Dunlop® highway auto or light truck tire, other than radial auto
or radial light truck tires, removed from service due to a covered warranty condition
during the first 1/32" of usable tread will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear®
or Dunlop® tire at no charge, including mounting and balancing.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Goodyear® or Dunlop® temporary spare tire removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition during the first 50% of usable tread wear (1/32 of an inch) will be
replaced with a comparable new Goodyear® or Dunlop® temporary spare tire at no
charge, including mounting.

GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES
93
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement that are removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear® or Dunlop® tire
on a prorated basis for up to six years from the date of original new tire purchase or when
the treadwear indicators become visible (worn to 2/32 of an inch), whichever occurs
first. Without proof of purchase the date of manufacture will be used to determine
eligibility.
HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES BE CALCULATED
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the tire’s advertised retail selling
price at the time of adjustment by the percentage of usable original tread that has been
worn off. You pay for mounting and balancing, and an amount equal to the current
Federal Excise Tax (FET) – US only, and any other applicable taxes and
government-mandated charges.
EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32 of an inch of usable tread wear and
i
s worn to 4/32 of an inch usable tread remaining, you have used 50% and therefore
must pay 50% of the advertised retail selling price of the comparable tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount equal to the full current FET (US only) or any other
a p

plicable taxes and government-mandated charges for the comparable new
replacement tire at the time of adjustment. If the price of the new comparable tire is
$130.00, the cost to you would be $65.00 plus FET (US only) plus any other applicable
taxes and government-mandated charges.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A “comparable” new Goodyear® or Dunlop® tire will be the same brand tire and may be
either the same line of tire or, in the event that the tire is not available, the same brand
tire with the same basic construction and similar performance attributes 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 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 tread wear indicators become visible (worn to 2/32 of an inch) or six years
from the date of new tire purchase, whichever occurs first. Without proof of purchase the
date of manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United States and Canada.

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 US Tire Manufactuers Association
(
USTMA) established repair procedures at https://www.ustires.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.
• FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON APPROVED RIMS.
• FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL ASSEMBLIES COMPLETELY BEFORE
D
EMOUNTING.

GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES
97
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,
c o

mponent 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
vi
bration. Overinflation also increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE

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 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 shown on the
ve

hicle 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.
DO NOT 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
g e

ntle 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 2/32 of an inch remaining tread
depth. All new tires have tread wear indicators which appear as smooth banks in the
tread grooves when they wear to the 2/32 of an inch level. Many wet weather accidents
result from skidding on bald or nearly bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more
susceptible to penetrations.

GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES
98
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
Goodyear® does 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 (TPMS) Alert
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more information on what to do if the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alert 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®’s own
high standards of quality control. It is designed to take up minimum 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),
d e

pending 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
h a

ndle. 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 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® TIRES
99
DO NOT MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND TYPES ON THE SAME 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 LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY THAN
RE
QUIRED BY THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger vans, require Load Range E tires as
d e

signated 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.
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 winter tires or all-season tires
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 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.
CAUTION!


Never substitute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire for an Extra Load (XL) 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.
