tires. Excessively worn tires are also more
susceptible to penetrations.
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 Retailer 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
NOTE: Goodyear and Dunlop do 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 ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more
information on what to do if the tire pressure
warning system 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 and Dunlop’s own high standards of quality control. It is
designed to take up a minimum of 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),
depending 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 handle.
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.
DON’T 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.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT
SIZES AND TYPES ON THE SAME
AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear
and Dunlop recommend fitment of four (4) tires
of the same type and size unless otherwise
specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING: Before you replace your tires,
always consult the vehicle Owner’s Manual and
follow the vehicle manufacturer’s replacement
tire recommendations. Vehicle handling may
be significantly affected by a change in tire
size or type. When selecting tires that are
different than the Original Equipment size,
see a professional installer in order to make
certain that proper clearance, load carrying
capacity and inflation pressure is selected.
Never exceed the maximum load capacity and
inflation pressure listed on the sidewall of the
tire. Always drive safely and obey all traffic
laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes.
Failure to follow this warning may result in loss
of control of the vehicle, leading to an accident
and serious injury or death.
