ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
PASSENGER AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES
Including RFT Tires with Run-Flat
Technology
ELIGIBILITY
This Limited Warranty covers
BRIDGESTONE and FIRESTONE brand
passenger and light truck tires, including
RFT and temporary spare tires, originally
installed by the vehicle manufacturer on
a new vehicle. You are covered under the
terms of this Limited Warranty if the
tire was produced after July 4, 2004
(DOT serial 2704 or later) and has been
used only on the vehicle on which it was
originally installed in non-commercial
service.
WHAT IS WARRANTED AND
FOR HOW LONG
Before wearing down to 2/32” (1.6 mm)
remaining original tread depth (i.e. worn
down to the top of the built-in indicators
in the tread grooves) and within 6 years
from the date of purchase (proof of
purchase date required; without proof of
purchase date, then within 6 years from
the date of tire manufacture), for any
reason other than those excluded in the
section entitled “What This Limited
Warranty Does Not Cover,” any eligible
tire that becomes unusable for any
reason within the manufacturer’s control
will be replaced with an equivalent new
tire on the basis set forth in this Limited
Warranty.
WHAT THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER
This Limited Warranty does not cover the
following:
1. Tire damage or irregular wear due to:
A. Road hazards, including, without

SELF SUPPORTING RUNFLAT
(SSR) TIRE OWNERS
CTA does not recommend any repair to
or reuse of punctured Continental SSR
tires.
Even a trained tire specialist may be
unable to recognize internal structural
damage to a Self Supporting Runflat
(SSR) tire resulting from having been
driven in an under inflated or zero
inflation pressure condition. Such
damage may not be visible on the
surface of the inner liner or sidewall
making it impossible to determine the
tire suitability for repair or reuse. CTA
does not recommend any repair to or
reuse of Continental SSR tires. You may
visit www.continentaltire.com and select
Customer Care FAQ’s to obtain additional
SSR information.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
OWNERS
CTA does not recommend any repair to
or reuse of punctured Temporary Spare
Tires.
CONTISEAL TIRE OWNERS
A ContiSeal™ tire differs from a
non-ContiSeal™ tire in that it has a
sticky, viscous layer from shoulder to
shoulder along the inner liner. This layer is
an integral part of the ContiSeal™ tires. It
is not designed or intended to act as a
permanent puncture repair (See
information below). If an object up to
3/16ths (5 mm) diameter penetrates the
tread of the ContiSeal™ tire, this sticky,
viscous layer is designed to surround and
adhere to the puncturing object and
prevent air loss from the tire by providinga near instantaneous seal. If the
puncturing object becomes dislodged
from the tire, the material is designed to
seal most holes made by objects up to
3/16” (5 mm) diameter. While
ContiSeal™ tires significantly reduce the
incidence of flats, they are not designed to
be driven under inflated or in a flat
condition. In all other aspects, ContiSeal™
tires perform exactly like non-ContiSeal™
tires. As with any tire, regularly inspect
ContiSeal™ tires for evidence of cuts,
punctures, and loss of inflation pressure.
At a minimum, ContiSeal™ tires should be
inspected once or twice a month and
always before a long trip. Punctures or
damage not attended to promptly can
result in loss of inflation pressure and/or
damage to the tire. ContiSeal™ tires with
cuts and punctures must be inspected by
a trained tire specialist as soon as
possible. The trained specialist, must
inspect the tire carefully and, according to
industry standards, to determine whether
a permanent repair can be made or
whether the tire must be removed from
service and scrapped. A permanent repair
will require removal of the tire from the
rim and application of a repair method
specifically approved for the ContiSeal™
tires. ContiSeal™ tires are identified by a
symbol on the tire sidewall.
CONTISILENT TIRE OWNERS
ContiSilent™ tires are designed to
reduce noise generated while driving.
A ContiSilent™ tire is lined with a noise
reducing foam insert. It is not designed or
intended to act as a puncture repair.

•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.

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.
