WHO IS COVEREDThe owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light Truck tire
which bears the BFGoodrich name and complete DOT
identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
BFGoodrich Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in
normal service on the vehicle on which they were originally
fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recommen-
dations and safety warnings contained in the owner’s
manual and in the Important Tire Safety Information Sec-
tion of this booklet, are covered by this warranty against
defects in workmanship and material for the life of the
original usable tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase,
whichever comes first. At that time, all warranties, express
or implied, are terminated. The usable tread is the original
tread down to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/
32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread remaining. Date of
purchase is documented by new vehicle registration or tire
sales invoice. If no proof of purchase, coverage will be
based on date of manufacture.
WHAT IS NOT COVEREDTires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture, whether repairable or not);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or improper repair;
• Underinflation, overinflation, improper maintenance or other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel
misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.
WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a compa-
rable new BFGoodrich tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds
of an inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or
25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to the user) and
within 12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting and
balancing of tires is included. The cost of any other service
charges and applicable taxes are payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread has
been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most benefi-
cial to the user) or after 12 months from date of purchase,
the user must pay the cost of a comparable new
BFGoodrich passenger or light truck replacement tire on
a pro rata basis. The dealer shall determine the charge by
multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread
worn by the current actual selling price at the adjustment
location or the price on the current BFGoodrich Brand
Base Price List, whichever is lower. This List is based on
a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the
actual selling price of the tire. The cost of mounting,
balancing and any other service charges and applicable
taxes are payable by the user.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the benefits of this Limited Warranty if:
• You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner ofnew Dunlop highway auto, light truck or temporary
spare tires supplied as original equipment on your
vehicle, and
• Your tires bear Department of Transportation pre-
scribed tire identification numbers and your tires have
been used only on the vehicle on which they were
originally installed according to the vehicle manufac-
turer or Dunlop recom-mendations, and
• Your vehicle was purchased on or after March 1, 2003.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any Dunlop tire eligible under the provisions of this limited
warranty and removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition during the first 2/32" treadwear or 12
months from date of purchase, whichever occurs first, will
be replaced with a comparable new Dunlop tire at no
charge. Mounting and balancing are included. (Without
proof of purchase, date of manufacture will be used to
determine age.)
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Dunlop temporary spare tire eligible under the provi-
sions of this limited warranty and removed from service due
to a covered warranty condition during the first 50 percent
of usable treadwear will be replaced with a comparable
new Dunlop temporary spare tire at no charge, including
mounting.
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
A tire not eligible for no-charge replacement that is re-
moved from service due to a covered warranty condition
will be replaced with a comparable new Dunlop tire on a
prorated basis.
DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
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, balancing and applicable
taxes.
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 percent and, therefore, must
pay 50 percent of the current advertised selling price of the
replacement tire. If the price of the new replacement tire is
$80, the cost to you would be $40 plus any additional
charges such as mounting, balancing and applicable taxes.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A comparable new Dunlop tire may either be the same line
of tire or, in the event that the tire is not available, a tire of
the same basic construction and quality with a different
side-wall or tread configuration. If a higher priced tire is
accepted as replacement, the difference in price will be at
an additional charge to you.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONSA tire has delivered its full original treadlife and the cover-
age of this warranty ends when the treadwear indicators
become visible (worn to 2/32"), or six (6) years from the
date of original tire manufacture or new tire purchase date.
(Without proof of purchase, date of manufacture will be
used to determine age.)
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty will
be covered by the Dunlop warranty in effect at the time of
replacement.
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 disturbance complaints that are worn beyond the first two thirty-seconds of an inch
(2/32") tread depth.
• Dunlop does not warrant or give credit in any adjust- ment transaction for any kind of material added to a tire
(e.g., tire fillers, sealants, balancing substances) after
the tire leaves a factory producing Dunlop tires, nor will
it adjust any tire that has failed as a result of adding
such material.
• Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condition of the vehicle, improper inflation, overloading, high
speed spin-up, misapplication, misuse, negligence,
racing, use of tire chains, improper mounting or de-
mounting, improper repair, wreck, collision or fire.
• Road hazards (includes, but not limited to, punctures,
cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.).
• Any tire that after leaving a factory producing Dunlop tires has been intentionally altered to change its ap-
pearance (e.g., white inlay on a black tire, regrooving or
siping).
• Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased more
than four (4) years prior to presentation for adjustment
or, if purchase date cannot be verified, manufactured
more than four (4) years prior to presentation for
adjustment.
• Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use, inci- dental or consequential damages.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Dunlop tires is to give them a simple
but frequent 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 per-
formance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain proper
inflation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are
cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge.*
For example, 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, curb-
ing, 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 lubri-
cation or improper adjustment, (3) leaking valve core or
rubber valve components. These should be replaced when
problems are detected and whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown
on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual: Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may
result in severe cracking, component separation or “blow-
out.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive sidewall
flexing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in heat
and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper inflation pres-
sure is the single most important thing you can do to ensure
tire durability and maximum treadlife.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation also
increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLECheck 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 ve-
hicle can cause poor handling, increased fuel consumption
and may cause tire failure.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and re-
member that optimum rim width is important for proper tire
load distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of P-
Metric tires is reduced by 10 percent when used on a light
truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric tires to light
trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
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
(Continued on page 21)

21
tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious
personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/60 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 speed as, for example, while attempt-
ing 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.
SIDEWALL TREATMENTSDunlop sidewalls are specially compounded to resist ozone
cracking or weather-cracking.
Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping
or lettering, and rinse off with plain water. Instruct service
per-sonnel and customers never to apply any other mate-
rial to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade
rubber and remove inherent ozone resistance.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent 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 innertube as a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIRNOTE
: Dunlop does not warrant any inspection or repair
process. The repair is entirely the responsibility of the
repairer and should be made in accordance with estab-
lished Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) proce-
dures.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT
YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury may result from explosion of tire/rim assem-
bly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow tire
manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to rim
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, Dunlop recommends
fitment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless
otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES:
Fit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radials must
be fitted to the same vehicle, fit radials on rear axle. Never
mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fitting
snow tires or all-season tires to performance vehicles,
always fit in sets for four. Do not fit tires with different speed ratings.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always consult
dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/
tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRESRetreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Dunlop for any reason. Dunlop speed ratings and
U.S. Department of Transportation test compliance certi-
fications are voided for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/
over-inflation, wheel imbalance, and misalignment can
cause vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires
according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
LIGHTWEIGHT TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight tempo-
rary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
• Check the inflation pressure before using and at least weekly. Maintain cold tire pressure in accordance with
that molded on the tire sidewall or found in your vehicle
owner’s manual. When inflating or adding air to light-
weight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave

22
valve core in place and add inflation air in short bursts.
Check the pressure often with an in-line or hand gauge
until the specified pressure is reached.
• The lightweight temporary spare tire may lower ground
clear-ance when used. Reduce speed and avoid driv-
ing over large obstacles or through chuckholes and
other road hazards.
• Check your car owner’s manual for other special clear- ance precautions when using the lightweight tempo-
rary spare tire provided in your vehicle.
• Because your lightweight temporary spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used
on any other vehicle.
• Do not use snow chains on your lightweight temporary spare tire. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
• Your lightweight temporary spare has very limited wear
potential (up to 300 miles/500 km).
• In order to conserve tire treadlife, the lightweight temporary spare tire should be returned to your trunk as
soon as the standard tire has been repaired or re-
placed. Never use the spare if treadwear indicator
(TWI) bars are exposed or it is worn to the last 2/32"
tread depth.
• Do not use your original equipment lightweight tempo- rary spare tire on any other than its original equipment
rim. The replacement lightweight temporary spare tire
must match the original equipment tire removed from
your lightweight temporary spare rim. Check the tire for
the lightweight temporary spare tire size marking des-
ignation and compare size markings with those found
on both your original lightweight temporary spare and
rim.
NOTE: Your original equipment lightweight temporary
spare tire and rim combination is not the same size as the
other tires and rims with which your vehicle is equipped.
Standard tires, snow tires, conventional wheel covers or
rim rings should not be fitted to your lightweight temporary
DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
spare tire rim or assembly.
• Improper mounting can cause tire/rim assembly explo- sion and serious injury. Tire Fitters: Follow tire
manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to
rim diameter. Mount the lightweight temporary spare
tire only on a rim originally fitted with a temporary spare
of the same size. Lubricate beads and rim contact
surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or
place in a safety cage. STAND BACK; inflate in short
bursts with extension hose, clip-on chuck on in-line
gauge. Never exceed 40 psi to seat beads or use a
volatile substance or a rubber “donut” to aid bead
seating. Only specially trained persons should mount
lightweight temporary spare tires.
Dunlop brand tires are serviced by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company and Goodyear Canada Inc. through
authorized Dunlop outlets.
You must go to an authorized Dunlop outlet for replace-ment tires and all warranty service.

GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
This Limited Warranty and Adjustment (the “Policy”) is
issued by Continental Tire North America, Inc. (the “Com-
pany”) and is applicable for General-brand original equip-
ment tires and is a promise of replacement under certain
specified conditions. This Policy applies to tires in normal
service displaying adjustable conditions (see Section 4)
and does not require the existence of a workmanship or
material related condition in order to qualify for adjustment.
THIS POLICY IS NOT A WARRANTY THAT YOUR TIRE
WILL NOT FAIL OR BECOME UNSERVICEABLE IF
NEGLECTED OR MISTREATED.
1. ELIGIBILITY
a. This Policy applies to the owner of Passenger Car, Light Truck and Serva-Spare tires bearing the
General brand name and serial numbers, and op-
erated in normal service.
b. Eligible tires must be the original equipment tires, used on the vehicle on which they were originally
installed by the vehicle manufacturer.
c. Tires branded “used” are not eligible under this Policy.
2. WHAT IS THE ADJUSTMENT POLICY AND FOR HOW LONG?
Limited warranty coverage is for a maximum period of 72
months from the date of purchase*, determined by the new
vehicle registration date or new vehicle sales invoice
showing date of purchase. If an eligible Passenger or Light Truck or Serva-Spare tire,
used in normal service, becomes unserviceable from a
condition other than those listed under Section 4, during or
after the time or treadwear periods shown below, it will be
replaced with a comparable** new General brand tire
according to
(A) and (B) below.
(A) Free Replacement Policy:
Time*TreadwearPassenger TireFirst 12 Months orFirst 2/32nds,(whichever comes first).
Mounting & balancing included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes.
Light Truck TireFirst 12 Months orFirst 3/32nds,(whichever comes first).
Mounting & balancing included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes. (Excluding F.E.T.)
Serva-Spare
No Time LimitFirst 1/32nd
Tires Mounting & balancing included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes.
(B) Pro Rata Replacement Policy: Passenger/Light Truck Tires
After the "Free Replacement Policy" expires (set forth
in section 2A), and the tire is still within 72 months from
the date of purchase*, you will pay, on a pro rata basis,
for a comparable** new General brand replacement
tire. A tire is eligible for an adjustment on a pro rata basis
until the tread is worn down to the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining). The tire tread
is worn out at this point and this Policy ends regardless
of time period. Owner pays all applicable taxes (includ-
ing F.E.T.), mounting and balancing charges. Serva-Spare Tires
After the “Free Replacement Policy” expires (set forth
in section 2A), no adjustment will be made.
* At the time of claim, you need to present your new vehicle
registration or new vehicle sales invoice showing date of
purchase. If satisfactory proof-of-purchase date is not
provided, the D.O.T. certification date of manufacture (tire
serial number) will be used.
** A “comparable” new General brand tire may be either the same tire line or the same basic construction but with a
different sidewall or tread configuration. If a higher-priced
tire is accepted as replacement, the owner will pay the
difference in price. Any tire replaced under this Policy will
be covered by the current General Tire Limited Warranty
and Adjustment Policy
3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiply-
ing the percentage of the usable tread worn by the Dealers
Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of
the adjustment or the General brand current published
Adjustment Base Price, whichever is lower. The usable
tread is the original tread down to the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining). The Ajustment
Base Price is intended to fairly represent a Dealer's Selling
Price for the same or comparable tire.

if your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which
they were originally installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendations.
COVERAGE (REPLACEMENT FREE)Any new Goodyear highway radial auto tire or radial light
truck tire, except Unisteel radial light truck tires, covered by
this policy, that does not deliver satisfactory highway
service due to a workmanship or material related condition
(see Adjustment Policy Limitations) during the first 25% of
usable treadwear, or twelve months from date of purchase,
whichever comes first, will be replaced with a comparable
new Goodyear tire without charge. Mounting and balanc-
ing are included.
Any Goodyear temporary spare tire that does not deliver
satisfactory highway service due to a workmanship or
material related condition during the first 50% of usable
tread depth (1/32 of an inch) will be replaced with a
comparable new Goodyear temporary spare tire without
charge. Mounting is included. After the first 50% of usable
treadwear, you pay only an adjustment charge for the
treadwear received, plus any mounting charge.
COVERAGE (PRORATED ADJUSTMENT)Tires not eligible for no charge adjustment that do not
deliver satisfactory service due to a workmanship or mate-
rial related condition will be replaced with comparable new
Goodyear tires on a pro rata basis. The replacement price
will be calculated by multiplying the current Goodyear
“predetermined price for adjustment” or current advertised
price at adjustment location (whichever is lower) by the
percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off
at the time of the adjustment. You pay for mounting,
balancing, and an amount equal to the full current Federal
Excise Tax applicable to the comparable new replacement
tire.
The “predetermined price for adjustment,” available at all
Goodyear Auto Service Centers and participating dealers,
fairly represents the actual regular retail selling price of the
comparable tire at the time of adjustment. If a “predeter-
mined price for adjustment” is not available, adjustment will
be based on the price at which you are entitled to buy at the
time of adjustment.
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and this
warranty ends when the treadwear indicators become
visible, regardless of age or mileage. DEFINITION OF COMPARABLE TIRE
A “comparable” new Goodyear tire may either be the same
line of tire or, in the event the disabled tire is out of
production, the same basic construction and quality with
different sidewall or tread configuration.
If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the
difference in price will be additional.
Any tire replacement under this warranty will be covered by
the Goodyear warranty in effect at time of replacement.
ADJUSTMENT POLICY LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United States
and Canada.
No representative or dealer has authority to make any
representation, promise, or agreement on behalf of
Goodyear, except as stated herein.
The following are not covered by this policy:
• Goodyear does not warrant and will not give credit in
any adjustment transaction for any kind of material
added to the tire after leaving a Goodyear factory, nor
will it adjust any tire which has failed as a result of
adding any such material. (Example: Tire fillers,
sealants, or balancing substances.)

WHO IS COVEREDThe owner of a Michelin Passenger or Light Truck tire
which bears the Michelin name and complete DOT identi-
fication number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Michelin Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in normal
service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted
and in accordance with the maintenance recommenda-
tions and safety warnings contained in the owner’s manual
and in the Important Tire Safety Information Section of this
booklet, are covered by this warranty against defects in
workmanship and material for the life of the original usable
tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase, whichever
comes first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied,
are terminated. The usable tread is the original tread down
to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is docu-
mented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If
no proof of purchase, coverage will be based on date of
manufacture.WHAT IS NOT COVEREDTires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture, whether repairable or not);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or
improper repair;
• Underinflation, overinflation, improper maintenance or other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a compa-
rable new Michelin tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25%
or less, whichever is most beneficial to the user) and within
12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting and balanc-
ing of tires is included. The cost of any other service
charges or applicable taxes are payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread has
been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most benefi-
cial to the user) or after 12 months from date of purchase,
the user must pay the cost of a comparable new Michelin
passenger or light truck replacement tire on a pro-rata
basis. The dealer shall determine the charge by multiply-
ing the percentage of the original usable tread worn by
the current actual selling price at the adjustment location
or the price on the current Michelin Base Price List,
whichever is lower. This List is based on a predetermined
price intended to fairly represent the actual selling price
of the tire. The cost of mounting, balancing and any other
service charges or applicable taxes are payable by the
user.
