Always maintain inflation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as
shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle certifica-
tion 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 “blow-
out.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive side-
wall 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. Over-
loading a vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may cause tire failure. Overload-
ing your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation orblowout.
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.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES
EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck
in snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces gen-
erated 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 rock-
ing 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 ma-
chine 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 suscep-
tible 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 informa-
tion 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.
(Continued on next page)
28GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

Page 33 of 72

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 pres-
sure 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 Dun-
lop 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 con-
sult the vehicle Owner’s Manual and follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s replacement tire recommendations. Ve-hicle 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.
When replacing tires, you must maintain the outside
diameter and load carrying capacity of the Original
Equipment tire. Inflation pressure may need to be ad-
justed to avoid overloading the tire. Consult the Tire &
Rim Association Load and Inflation Tables, ETRTO or
JATMA standards for correct load and inflation informa-
tion.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT
HAVE LESS LOAD CARRYING
CAPACITY THAN AS REQUIRED BY
THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger
vans, require Load Range E tires as designated by the
vehicle manufacturer. Fitment of a tire, such as a Load
Range D, with less carrying capacity is not allowed.
In other cases, tires of the same size may carry different
load indexes in the service description. You must make
certain the replacement tires fitted to the vehicle have a
load carrying capacity equal to or greater than what the
Original Equipment manufacturer specifies.NOTE:
Goodyear manufactured and/or marketed
European-Metric passenger tires and P-Metric
passenger tires are interchangeable as long as
they have the same section width, same aspect
ratio, same rim diameter. Caution: Never substi-
tute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire for an Extra Load
(XL) tire. If the vehicle was originally equipped
with “Extra Load” (XL) tires, replace those tires
with similar sized XL tires.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the
deepest tread depth on the 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 of four. It is not
recommended to fit tires with different speed ratings. If
tires with different speed ratings are installed on a
vehicle, they should be installed with like pairs on the
same axle. The speed capability of the vehicle will
become limited to that of the lowest speed rated tires.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always con-
sult Dealer for optimum rim width and carefully checkvehicle/tire clearances.

RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Goodyear and Dunlop for any reason. Good-
year 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 recommenda-
tions or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.

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 con-
ditions 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Bro-
chure applies only to the Original Equipment tires sup-
plied 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 pressuremonitoring 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 oper-
ate for limited distances with very low or even no infla-
tion pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations) . This is an important benefit, espe-
cially if inflation loss occurs at a location where imme-
diately stopping your vehicle could be hazardous.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERTRefer 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 exceed 50 mph (80 kph) .
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe han-
dling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure,
your vehicle’s handling capability is reduced, particu-
larly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM ALERTThe 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 kph) 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 Good-
year 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 vehi-
cle’s tire pressure monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation maintenance and exter-
nal inspections must be performed by service personnel
at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility. 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 ex-
tension air hose must be used if more than 40 psi
(270kPa) 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 oper-
ating low tire pressure-monitoring system, the tires may
fail when operated in an underinflated condition, result-
ing 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.

TIRES INCLUDING TEMPORARY TIRES
LIMITED WARRANTY FOR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
PASSENGER CAR & LIGHT TRUCK TIRES INCLUD-
ING TEMPORARY TIRES.
1. WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG.
Hankook warrants that a tire manufactured by Hankook
and equipped originally on the vehicle is free from
defects in materials or workmanship in normal use for
the life of the original usable tread. The life of the original
usable tread ends when the tire tread has been worn
down with only 1.6mm (2/32nds inch) remaining, at
which point the tire is considered to be fully worn out.
●PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES
(A) Free replacement
If Hankook Radial Passenger & Light Truck
Tires fail as a result of defect in material
and/or workmanship within the first 25% of
treadwear, the tire will be replaced with a
new, comparable Hankook Tire at no charge
including mounting and balancing charges.●PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK

(B) Pro rata replacement
Tires not qualifying for free replacement will
be allowed a credit toward purchase of a
new, comparable Hankook Tire based upon
the amount of tread actually worn. The cost
of mounting, balancing and any other service
charges or applicable taxes shall be paid by
the user. Otherwise adjustment for compen-
sation will be made on a prorata basis calcu-
lated by multiplying the actual current dealer
selling price by the percentage of remaining
usable tread depth.
●HANKOOK TEMPORARY TIRE
(A)A Temporary tire weighs less and provides
more trunk storage space than a conven-
tional tire. To conserve tire tread life, tempo-
rary tire should be returned to the trunk as
soon as it is convenient to have your stan-
dard tire repaired or replaced.
(B)If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a result of
defect in materials and/or workmanship dur-
ing the first 50% of usable treadwear, the

WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY
●TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may
cause tire beads to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim, causing personal
injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber
Manufacturers Association installation and safety
procedure for mounting and inflating tires. Tire and
rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and
beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended
pressure to seat beads on rim. Use remote control
inflation equipment and inflation cage.
NOTE:
Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads. Mount
radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel
manufacturer as suitable for radial tire. Only spe-
cially trained persons shall mount tires.
●AIR PRESSURE
Check the pressure in your tires, including your
spare, at least monthly, and always before and during
extended driving. Check tires cold (at least 3 hours
after the vehicle has been stopped and before it is
driven more than 1.6 kilometers or 1 mile) . Do not
reduce pressure when tires are hot, use an accurate
air pressure gauge to check pressure and maintain it
at the level recommended on the vehicle tire placard
or in the Owner’s Manual. Underinflation produces
extreme flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the
point that premature tire failure may occur. Overin-
flation can cause the tires to be more susceptible to
impact damage. Cold tire pressures, however,
should never be higher than the limit molded on the
sidewall.
●LOAD LIMITS
Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto
the sidewall of your tires or the maximum vehicle load
limit as shown on the vehicle tire placard, whichever
is less. Overloading builds up excessive heat in the
tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
●HAZARDS
Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks,
curbs, metal, glass, etc.) which may possibly cause
internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has
suffered internal damage (which may not be exter-
nally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. De-
termination of suspected internal damage requires
demounting the tire from its rim and examination by
trained tire personnel.
(Continued on next page)
HANKOOK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY37

Page 42 of 72

●WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced
by trained personnel when 2/32nds inch (1.6mm) of
tread depth remain, as indicated by treadwear indi-
cators molded into the tread grooves. Use of worn-
out tires (less than 2/32nds of an inch remaining
tread depth) increases the probability of tire failure.
In most states, it is illegal to drive with less than
2/32nds of an inch of remaining tread depth.
●SPEED LIMITS
Operating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed
limits or the maximum speeds justified by driving
conditions can be dangerous. Excessive speed cre-
ates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire
failure.
●SPEED-RATED TIRES
Speed-rated tires are identified by letters S, T, H, V,
W, or Z as either part of the size designation (e.g.,
HR) , or part of the service description adjacent to the
size designation (e.g., 94H) and indicates the maxi-
mum speed capability of the tire when properly
loaded and inflated. However, even when properly
loaded and inflated, driving for prolonged periods at
high speeds can cause tire damage and possible tire
failure which could lead to an accident. Original
equipment speed-rated tires must be replaced with
tires of the same or higher speed rating if the speed
capability of the vehicle is to be maintained. Consult
your Hankook dealer for the tires best suited to your
vehicle driving habit. Repairing of speed-rated tires
must be done in accordance with RMA repair pro-
cedures and is limited to one 1/4diameter repair in
the tread area.
●TIRE ROTATION
Rotate your tires for longer tire life. Front and rear
tires perform different jobs and can wear differently.
Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for mileage
recommendations and rotation patterns.
●ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TEM-
PORARY TIRE
A. Air pressure.
Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after
installation and inflate to 60 psi. The tire pressure
should be checked monthly and maintained at
60 psi while the tire is stored or in service.
B. Vehicle restriction.
The temporary spare tire was specifically designed
for your car and should not be used on any other
vehicle.
C. Other restrictions.
The temporary spare tire should not be used with
other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers, or trim rings be used with the tempo-
rary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage
to these items or other vehicle components may
occur.

LIMITED WARRANTY
FOR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PASSENGER & LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES INCLUDING TEMPORARY TIRES
1. WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG.
Kumho warrants that a tire manufactured by Kumho
and/or equipped orginally on the vehicle is free from
defects in materials and/or workmanship in normal use
for the life of the original usable tread. The life of the
original usable tread ends when the tire tread has been
worn down with only 1.6mm (2/32nds inch) remaining,
at which point the tire is considered to be fully worn out.
●PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
(A) Free replacement
If Kumho Radial Passenger & Light Truck
Tires fail as a result of defect in material
and/or workmanship within the first 2/32” of
the original tread depth, the tire will be re-
placed with a new, comparable Kumho Tire
at no charge including mounting and balanc-
ing charges.●PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
(B) Pro-rata replacement
Tires not qualifying for free replacement will
be allowed a credit toward purchase of a
new, comparable Kumho Tire based upon
the amount of tread actually worn. The cost
of mounting, balancing and any other service
charges or applicable taxes shall be paid by
the user.
Otherwise adjustment for compensation will
be made on a pro-rata basis calculated by
multiplying the actual current dealer selling
price by the percentage of remaining usable
tread depth.
●KUMHO TEMPORARY TIRE
(A)A Temporary Tire weighs less and provides
more trunk storage space than a conven-
tional tire. To conserve tire tread life, tempo-
rary tire should be returned to the trunk as
soon as it is convenient to have your stan-
dard tire repaired or replaced.
(B)If Kumho Temporary Tire fails as a result of
defect in materials and workmanship during
the first 50% of usable treadwear, the tire
will be replaced with a new, comparable tire
at no charge including mounting and balanc-
ing charges. No adjustment will be made for
tires that are worn more than 50%.

scuffs, carcass bruised or impact breaks.

hicles.
