•FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR
DUAL ASSEMBLIES COMPLETELY
BEFORE DEMOUNTING.
• 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.
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: (1) The tires have adequate
load-carrying capacity based on
the vehicle placard, (2) The tires
have sufficient inflation pressure to
carry the load and (3) There is
proper clearance with no
interference points between the
tire and vehicle. The consumer
must be aware to always drive
safely and obey all traffic laws.
Avoid sudden, 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Operational Monitoring
The information contained in this Limited
Warranty Brochure applies only to the
Original Equipment tires supplied with
your vehicle.
In order for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended
Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOnFlat
[ROF]) or Dunlop Run-Flat (Dunlop
Self-Supporting Technology [DSST]) tires
to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Limited Warranty, Goodyear or
Dunlop Run-Flat tires must use specific
parts, such as a low tire pressure-
monitoring system authorized by the
Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
Run-Flat Tire Feature:
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a
high-performance tire with a remarkable
feature: It can operate for limited
distances with very low or even no
inflation pressure (refer to your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for these limitations).
This is an important benefit, especially if
inflation loss occurs at a location where
immediately stopping your vehicle could
be hazardous.

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.
Goodyear & Dunlop
28
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.

FOR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES (INCLUDING
TEMPORARY TIRE)
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 2/32”
(1.6 mm) remaining, at which point the
tire is considered to be fully worn out.
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES
A. Free replacementIf 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. B. 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 of Applicable taxes shall be
paid by the user. Otherwise
adjustment for compensation will be
made on a prorated basis calculated
by multiplying the actual dealer
selling price by the percentage of
remaining usable tread depth.
HANKOOK TEMPORARY TIRE
A.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.
B.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%.
