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
these safety precautions to prevent
a loss of vehicle control that could
result in serious personal injury or
death:
• Slow your speed. Do not exceed50 mph (80 km/h).
• Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe handling
maneuvers.
• Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires
have lost air pressure, your
vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe
maneuvers.
To Prolong Tire Life During A
System Alert
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire
can be driven at low or zero air pressure
(refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations). To help prolong the
life of a tire operating under low-inflation
conditions, drive at a speed as far below
50 mph (80 km/h) as possible. Also,
drive the shortest distance possible
before obtaining 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, contact 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).
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.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to mount or
demount Run-Flat tires yourself;
serious 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.

Tire Repair
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop
speed-rated, high-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!
Goodyear and Dunlop Run-Flat
tires are designed for use only on
certain original equipment wheels
supplied with a properly operating
low tire pressure-monitoring
system. If applied to a vehicle
without a properly operating low
tire pressure-monitoring system,
the tires may fail when operated in
an underinflated condition,
resulting in loss of vehicle control
and possible serious injury or
death. Application of these tires to
a vehicle not equipped with
specified operational low tire
pressure-monitoring system
constitutes improper and unsafe
use of this product.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
POLICY
• Tire failure, defect, malfunction ordamage resulting from improper
operation or maintenance such as, but
not limited to, overloading, excessive
speed and inflation practices causing
excessive operational temperatures
that exceed specifications,
misapplication, tire/wheel imbalance,
vandalism, use of puncture sealants
and/or chemical corrosion.
•

SAFETY MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Improper tire mounting and inflation
and overloading may cause serious
injury or property damage. Maxxis
recommends that you read and follow
all safety information contained in
the tire safety inf ormation section of
this booklet, vehicle placard in the
Vehicle and/or the Vehicle Owner’s
Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found
on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following:
• Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an accurate tire air
pressure gauge. Do not reduce
pressure when tires are hot. Proper
inflation is essential. Under inflation
produces flexing of the sidewalls and
builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Over
inflation can cause the tire to be more
susceptible to impact damage.
• Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and
maximum inflation pressure are
molded into the sidewall of your tire.
Overloading builds up excessive heat
and can lead to early tire failure.
• Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and curbs)
which may cause internal tire
damage. Continued use of a tire that
has suffered internal damage, which
may not be visible externally, can lead
to dangerous tire failure.
Determination of internal damage will
require dismounting of the tire and
examination by trained tire personnel. • Improper tire mounting and inflation
procedures may cause the tire beads
to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim. Tire
and rim must match in size. Rim parts
must match by manufacturer’s design.
Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads.
Do not exceed the maximum
recommended pressure to seat the
beads. Only trained tire personnel
should mount tires.
• Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32” [1.6 mm] of tread depth) increases the
probability of tire failure.
• Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire failure.
• Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
(8,000 to 12,000 kilometers).
• The Maxxis brand temporary spare tire weighs less than a conventional radial
tire. The temporary tire should be used
only in emergencies and returned to
the trunk as soon as it is convenient to
have your standard tire repaired or
replaced.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Any time you see damage to your Tires or
wheels, immediately contact a Vehicle
Manufacturer Dealer or Maxxis Dealer.

with an identical or comparable tire at no
charge for the tire to the owner, including
mounting and balancing (subject to
applicable limitations).

useable tread, whichever comes first.
These include, without limitation,
uneven wear due to misalignment,
worn suspension components,
mechanical interference and/or
improper inflation, flat spots due to
improper transport, improper storage
and/or braking, road irregularities, etc.
• Irregular wear.
• Excessive noise emissions.
• Tires with 2/32” (1.6 mm) or less tread remaining. • Tire damage and surface cracks due to
use in low ambient temperatures
(except in winter and all-season Pirelli
tires as defined in the applicable Pirelli
Product Catalog).
• Tire damage due to abuse or misuse, including without limitation:
– improper mounting/dismountingpractices, application of
aftermarket wheel protection
hardware, abuse, misuse, or
neglect;
– misapplication, including improper fitment, insufficient Speed Rating,
or Load Index, or undersized or
oversized tires;
– improper repair, repair not conforming to U.S. Tire
Manufacturers Association
standards, or repairs with a
self-vulcanizing plug only or patch
only;
– modification by the addition or removal of material or alteration
to change the appearance or
performance of the tire;
– recapping, retreading, regrooving or in the studding process;
– tire operation in excess of tire/wheel manufacturers’
specifications and
recommendations, including
spinning;
– mechanical irregularities in the vehicle including, without
limitation, misalignment, defective
brakes, defective shock absorbers
or struts, or improper rims;
