HIGHWAY AUTO AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRE REPLACEMENT 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 agent of the
owner of new Goodyear or Dunlop highway
auto or light truck tires supplied as Original
Equipment on your vehicle.
•• 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
September 1, 2012.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires
identified with the “LT” designation in the
sidewall stamping.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway radial
auto or radial light truck tire, covered by this
policy, removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition during the first 2/32” of usable treadwear 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” 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”) will be replaced
with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
temporary spare tire at no charge, including
mounting.
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”), 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) any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated
charges.
EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original
8/32” of usable treadwear and is worn to
4/32” 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 $80,
the cost to you would be $40 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 quality 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 Goodyear
or Dunlop 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”), 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.

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.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory
mileage and performance from your Goodyear
or Dunlop tires is to give them a simple but
frequent (at least monthly) inspection for
proper inflation, even treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for
optimum tire performance, safety and fuel
economy. Check inflation pressures at least
once a month and before long trips. Use an
accurate tire pressure gauge. Always check
pressures when the tires are cold (when the
vehicle has been driven less than one mile). If
you must check inflation when the tires are
hot, add 4 psi (27 kPa) to the recommended
cold inflation pressure. It is difficult to tell just
by looking at radial tires whether they are
underinflated.*
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle
equipped with radial tires, it is difficult to
notice when a tire has gone flat or nearly flat
since the “feel” of the vehicle does not change
significantly.*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation
always requires expert inspection to determine
the source of leakage and tire removal to
determine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER
attempt to reinflate a tire that has been run
severely underinflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures,
cuts, curbing, impacts or partial bead
unseating. Some fitment causes for air loss are
(1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead tearing
caused by a machine tool due to insufficient
lubrication or improper adjustment, (3) leaking
valve core or rubber valve components should
be replaced when problems are detected and
whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
as shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle
certification label or in the vehicle Owner’s
Manual:
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire
failure and may result in severe cracking,
component separation or “blowout.” It reduces
tire load capacity, allows excessive sidewall
flexing and increases rolling resistance,
resulting in heat and mechanical damage.
Maintaining proper inflation pressure is the
single most important thing you can do to
promote tire durability and maximize tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may
deteriorate ride and generate unwanted
vibration. Overinflation also increases the
chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE
OR TIRES
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to
determine the load limits. Overloading your
vehicle places stress on your tires and other
critical vehicle components. Overloading a
vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may cause tire failure.
Overloading your tires can result in severe
cracking, component separation or “blowout”.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have
less load capacity than shown on the vehicle
tire placard and remember that optimum
rim width is important for proper tire load
distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the
sidewalls of P-Metric & European Metric tires
is reduced by 10% when used on a light truck,
utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric
or European Metric tires to light trucks that
specify LT-type replacement tires.
(Continued on next page)
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

Page 34 of 64

31
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES
EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your
vehicle is stuck in snow, ice, mud or sand. The
centrifugal forces generated by a free-spinning
tire/wheel assembly may cause sudden tire
explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or
serious personal injury to you or a bystander.
Never exceed 35 mph/55 km/h, as indicated
on your speedometer. Use a gentle backward
and forward rocking motion to free your
vehicle for continued driving. Never stand near
or behind a tire spinning at high speeds. For
example, while attempting to push a vehicle
that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin
balance machine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR
WEAR
Always remove tires from service when
they reach two thirty-seconds of an inch
(2/32) remaining tread depth. All new tires
have treadwear indicators which appear as
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they
wear to the two thirty-seconds of an inch
(2/32) level. Many wet weather accidents
result from skidding on bald or nearly bald
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 Dealer 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.

RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires
are not warranted by Goodyear and Dunlop
for any reason. Goodyear and Dunlop speed
ratings and U.S. Department of Transportation
test compliance certifications are voided for
retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE
SUSPENSION, WHEEL ALIGNMENT
AND BALANCE AND ROTATE YOUR
TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts,
underinflation/overinflation, wheel imbalance
and misalignment can cause vibration
or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires
according to your vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations or at maximum intervals of
6,000 miles/10,000 km.

information
You must go to an authorized Goodyear or
Dunlop outlet for replacement tires and all
warranty service.
TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many
thousands of miles of excellent service. For
maximum benefit, tires must be maintained
properly to avoid tire damage that may result
in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the
service life of any specific tire in chronological
time since service conditions vary widely. The
serviceability of a tire over time is a function
of the storage and service conditions (inflation
pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.)
to which a tire is subjected. Consumers should
not rely solely on the appearance of the tire,
but should be aware of any change in dynamic
performance such as increased air loss, noise
or vibration, which could be a sign to remove
the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have tires,
including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage
and treadwear.
