DOT Symbol and Tire Identification Number: The “DOT” symbol constitutes a certification
that the tire conforms to applicable US Department of Transportation (DOT) motor
vehicle safety standards (for tires). Following the “DOT” symbol is the tire identification
number, also known as the DOT serial number or code. For example:
The DOT symbol and tire identification number can be found on at least one sidewall near
th
e wheel. The other sidewall may have a partial serial code that excludes (e) and (f)
above.
Maximum Load and Inflation: T
he maximum load and maximum inflation pressure is
marked on each sidewall in metric and English units. For example:
MAX LOAD 685 kg (1,510 lbs) AT 240 kPa (35 psi) MAX PRESS
NOTE:
The load and inflation values marked on the tire sidewall are maximum permissible
v a

lues for the tire only. Never assume that these values are the actual maximum load
capacity or recommended tire pressure values for your vehicle. See “Tire Inflation Pres -
sure,” “Tips for Safe Tire Inflation,” and “Tips for Safe Loading” in this manual.
Ply Composition and Materials: T
he actual number of plies in the sidewall and tread area
and the generic name(s) of their cord material(s) are marked on at least one sidewall. For
example:
• T READ 2 PLY POLYESTER + 2 STEEL
•
SIDEWALL 2 PLY POLYESTER
R
adial: Radial ply tires will have the word "radial" on at least one sidewall. An “R” in the
t
ire size designation also indicates radial ply construction.
Tubeless or Tube Type: T
ires are marked as either “tubeless” or “tube type,” whichever
is applicable, on at least one sidewall.
(a) DOT Symbol (d) Tire Manufacturer’s Code
(b) Manufacture Plant Code (e) Week of Production (01-52)
(c) Tire Size Code (f) Year of Production (last two digits of year)
* For tires produced from 2000-on. In the example above, the tire was produced in the 18th week of
2000. For tires produced prior to 2000, there is one digit in group (f) which identifies the last digit of the
year of production, i.e. “329” would likely signify the 32nd week of 1999, but could possibly signify the
32nd week of 1989. If in doubt, consult a qualified tire service professional.

•TIRE SPINNING. On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice, etc., do not spin tires in
excess of 35 mph (55 km/h), as indicated on the speedometer.
• EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.
This can also result in tire disintegration or axle failure.
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 tread wear 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
wh

en 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
d e

termine 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.
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:
• The tires have adequate load-carrying capacity based on the vehicle placard.
•

The tires have sufficient inflation pressure to carry the load.
•
There is proper clearance with no interference points between the tire and vehicle.
T
he consumer must be aware to always drive safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid
s u

dden, sharp turns or aggressive 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.

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

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.

should have the recommended pressure listed by your vehicle’s manufacturer. This
information can be found in the vehicle Owner’s Manual and often on a placard located
in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door. If you
have a plus size fitment that requires a higher inflation pressure, your tire pressure
monitoring system will require re-calibration to new inflation pressure. Refer to your tire
dealer/installer of plus size tires for proper inflation pressure.
We recommend checking air pressure once each month, and before a long trip. Whether
yo

u have a full-sized or mini-spare, make sure that it is properly inflated as well. If the
TPMS generates improper monitoring or signals we recommend that you consult your
Owner’s Manual provided with your vehicle and follow-up with your vehicle’s
manufacturer.
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on the speedometer.
Ex
cessive speed in a free-running, unloaded tire can cause it to “explode” from
centrifugal force. The energy released by such an explosion is sufficient to cause serious
physical injury or death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind the spinning tire.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions, do not engage in excessive
w h

eel spin. Accelerating the motor excessively, particularly with automatic transmission
vehicles, may cause a drive tire that has lost traction to spin beyond its speed capability.
This is also true when balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using the
vehicle engine to spin the tire/wheel assembly.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high speeds, even with the
correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for example is more difficult to avoid and if
contact is made, has a greater chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed.
Moreover, driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid accidents
and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it
with the spare at once and visit a participating Michelin® tire retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each type of Michelin®
t i

re 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 when one
or more tires experience a sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal limits
a n

d driving conditions.
SPEED RATINGS
Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some Michelin® tires. The following table
shows the maximum speed corresponding to the symbol.

*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than 149 mph (240 km/h).
C o

nsult your participating Michelin® tire retailer for maximum speed rating if your vehicle
capability exceeds this speed.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To reduce the risk of tire
failure we recommend the following:
• M aintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at underinflation or overinflation.
P
ressure should be set at the level recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
• W heel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
•
Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on the sidewall of the
t
ire.
• D o not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs, potholes, obstacles
a
nd edges of pavement.
• N ever drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced when 2/32 of an
i
nch of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear indicator molded in the tread
grooves.
• C heck your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects, separations or
b
ulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount a tire yourself. Change
damaged tire with the spare and contact a local authorized Nexen Tire dealer imme -
diately.
• D o not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum speed justified
b
y driving conditions.
• T o achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire rotation at regular
i
ntervals is required.
