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.

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 lowest speed rated
ti
res.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can cause instability. 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 BALANCE AND
ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/ overinflation, wheel 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 /
1 0
,000 km.

HOW TO READ A TIRE DOT SERIAL NUMBER
DOT stands for Department of Transportation and the number is on the lower sidewall of
each tire to show that the tire meets or exceeds the Department of Transportation safety
standards.

LIMITED WARRANTY FOR ORIGINA L 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 equipped 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 of an inch) remaining, at which point the tire is
considered to be fully worn out.
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES Free Replacement
If Hankook Radial Passenger & Light Truck Tires fail as a result of defect in material and/
or workmanship within the first 25% of treadwear, the tire will be replaced with a new,
comparable Hankook Tire at no charge including mounting and balancing charges.
Prorated Replacement
Tires not qualifying for free replacement will be allowed a credit toward purchase of a
new, comparable Hankook Tire based upon the amount 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
A Temporary tire weighs less and provides more trunk storage space than a conventional
tire. To conserve tire tread life, temporary tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as
it is convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a result of defect in materials and/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%.

MICHELIN®
Original Equipment Passenger & Light Truck Tire Owner’s Manual & Limited Warranty
MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a Michelin® passenger or light truck tire, you 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 equipment – are
cov
ered 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 https://www.michelinman.com/home .
Certain conditions and limitations apply. Mileage warranties vary by tire line and certain
ex c
lusions may apply.
Self-Supporting Tires
Zero Pressure (ZP)
As the purchaser of a Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) passenger tire,
mou
nted 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 sophisticated system
whi
ch 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
ot h
erwise specified 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 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 includes the tire,
su p
port 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 (90 km/h), for a distance of up to 125 miles (201 km), even though a tire has
MICHELIN®
120
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!
MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires Michelin® Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in
no
rmal 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 six 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 of an inch
(1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new vehicle
re
gistration 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 conditions described under
“ H
ow Replacement Charges are Calculated”.
NOTE:
Your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional tire warranty coverage over and above
w h
at is provided by Michelin®. Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for further informa -
tion.
NOTE:
Some Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires can only be mounted on special
S H
-M (Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels. These tires bear the special SH-M designa -
tion, molded into the sidewall of the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT A
T I
RE WITH THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON THE SIDEWALL ON A STANDARD WHEEL. DOING
SO VOIDS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO BECOME UNSER -
VICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
D E
ATH.
Treadwear – Mileage Warranty Coverage for Michelin® Passenger and Light Truck Tires
Michelin® passenger and light truck tires are covered by a manufacturer’s limited
w a
rranty for treadwear. For the mileage warranty associated with a specific tire line,
please see your Michelin® tire retailer or visit us at https://www.michelinman.com/
home . Some vehicles come from the vehicle manufacturer with “split fitments” –
meaning different size tires on the front and rear axles. Because these tires cannot be
r o
tated 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.
D O
T-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
MICHELIN®
121
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 from a given tire.
D r
iving 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 has complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty, Michelin®
will replace the tires as described under “How Replacement Charges are calculated”.
Temporary Spares
Michelin® temporary spare tires are covered by this warranty for six years from the date
o f
purchase or until the first 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) of the original tread is worn off.
D a
te of purchase is documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no
proof of purchase is available, coverage will be based on date of manufacture. At that
time, all warranties, express or implied, expire.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
• R oad hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or puncture)
•
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair
•
Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, overinflation or other
a
buse
• U neven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as
