purchase date required; without proof of
purchase date, then within 12 months
from the date of tire manufacture),
whichever occurs first. During the free
replacement period, mounting and
balancing are included free of charge.

truck tire, you are encouraged to read this
booklet carefully to determine which
warranty coverages apply to the specific
tires that you own. Please also pay close
attention to the Owner’s Manual since it
provides essential safety and
maintenance information.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR
HOW LONG
Workmanship and Materials
BFGoodrich brand passenger and light
truck tires, used in normal 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
comes first. At that time, all warranties,
express or implied, expire. The life of the
original usable tread is the original tread
down to the level of the treadwear
indicators - 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is
documented by new vehicle registration.
If no proof of purchase is available, the
date of manufacture as molded on the
sidewall will be used. Replacement will
be made in accordance with the terms
and conditions described under “How
Replacement Charges are Calculated”.
NOTE:Your vehicle manufacturer may
provide additional tire warranty coverage
over and above what is provided by
BFGoodrich. Consult your vehicle owner’s
information for further information.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED

Due to:
• Road 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, over-inflation or
other abuse.
• Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in the
vehicle such as wheel misalignment,
(a measured tread difference of 2/32”
(1.6 mm) or more across the tread on
the same tire).
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism.
• Use in commercial applications for treadwear.
• Flat spotting caused by improper storage.
• The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen or
carbon dioxide (for example, water

HIGHWAY AUTO, LIGHT
TRUCK AND SPECIAL
TRAILER 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 agentof the owner of new Goodyear or
Dunlop® highway auto or light truck
tires or Goodyear Special Trailer (ST)
tires supplied as Original Equipment
on your vehicle or trailer.
• Your tires bear Department of Transportation prescribed tire
identification numbers.
• Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which they were originally
installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer or Goodyear’s
recommendations.
• Your tires were purchased on or after November 1, 2018.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires
identified with the “LT” designation in
the sidewall stamping. e.g.
LT245/75R16.
Special Trailer tires are defined as all
tires identified with the “ST” designation
in the sidewall stamping, e.g.
ST235/80R16.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR
HOW LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway
radial auto, radial light truck tire or
Goodyear Special Trailer (ST) tire,
covered by this policy, removed from
service due to a covered warranty
condition during the first 2/32" (1.6 mm)
of usable tread or twelve months from
date of purchase, whichever comes first,
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, radial light truck tires, removed from
service due to a covered warranty
condition during the first 1/32” (0.8 mm)
of usable treadwear 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 treadwear (1/32"
[0.8 mm]) will be replaced with a
comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
temporary spare tire at no charge,
including mounting.
Goodyear & Dunlop
23

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 (6) years from the date
of original new tire purchase or when the
treadwear indicators become visible
(worn to 2/32” [1.6 mm]), 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
(F.E.T. – U.S. only) and any other
applicable taxes and government
mandated charges.
EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an
original 8/32” (6.4 mm) of usable
treadwear and is worn to 4/32” (3.2 mm)
of 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 Federal Excise
Tax (U.S. only) or any other applicable
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 F.E.T. (U.S.
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
either be 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 treadwear
indicators become visible (worn to 2/32”
[1.6 mm]), or six (6) 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.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THIS WARRANTY?
This limited warranty does not cover the
following:
• Tires submitted for ride disturbancecomplaints that are worn beyond the
first 2/32” (1.6 mm) tread depth or
tires submitted for ride disturbance
due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.

REPLACEMENT OF TIRES
•If you make a warranty claim in
accordance with this Limited Warranty,
and the Tire
*is within the first 25% of
original, usable tread, or the warranty
claim is made 12 months from the
date of your purchase of the new
Vehicle (whichever comes first), the
Tire will be promptly replaced with a
comparable tire, without charge to
you (Free Replacement).
*If your warranty claim is with respect
to a temporary spare tire, the tire
must be within the first 1/32”
(0.8 mm) of tread depth, and the
warranty claim does not have to be
made within 12 months from the date
of purchase.
• During the Free Replacement period, mounting and balancing are free of
charge.
• After the Free Replacement period and Vehicle Manufacturer’s warranty
period, the credit of the Tire will be
calculated on a prorated basis.
• Remaining usable tread is computed as a percentage of the original, usable
tread. The credit amount will be
calculated by multiplying the Tire’s
market retail price at the time of the
warranty claim by the remaining
usable tread.
• Original, usable tread does not include the last 2/32” (1.6 mm) of
tread depth.
•
You are responsible for payment of
labor costs of mounting and balancing
and applicable taxes, charges for
services that you request but that are
not covered by this Limited Warranty,
and any shipping expenses after the
Free Replacement period.
• A “comparable tire” may either be a new Maxxis brand tire of the same line
as the Tire, or if the Tire is out of
production or unavailable, a new
Maxxis brand tire of the same basic
construction and quality, with different
sidewall or treadwear configuration. If
the same tire or a comparable new
Maxxis tire is available, and you
request a higher-priced tire as a
replacement, the difference in price
will be paid by you.
