CHECKING YOUR TIRE’S AIR PRESSURE
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital to help your tires
perform properly and help you get the best gas mileage possible. Tires
can lose up to 7 kPa (1 psi) per month under normal conditions and lose
up to 7 kPa (1 PSI) per every 9°C (16°F) drop in temperature. Here are
some simple steps on how to check the air pressures in your tires:
1. Remove the valve stem cap.
2. Place the end of the tire gauge firmly against the tire’s valve stem.
3. Read the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is currently in
the tire.
4. Increase pressure at this time (if needed) and recheck with your tire
gauge.
5. Replace the valve stem cap.
6. Repeat until all of your tires have been checked and adjusted
accordingly.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a safety system
found in most vehicles manufactured after 2005. There are
pressure sensing transmitters mounted inside of each tire that
sends readings to the central computer (ECU) in your vehicle.
The TPMS system will alert you when one or more of your tires
are underinflated by 25% or more by turning on a warning light on your
vehicle’s dashboard or heads up display (HUD) screen. This means that
one or more of your tires may have a low-pressure condition. Follow the
instructions in your owner ’s manual.

•Repairs:If a tire is returned under complaint and the reason for the
tire’s disablement is in any way associated with a repair, or with the
situation that led to the repair, the manufacturer ’s warranty is
invalidated.
•Mileage:Tread wear out up to a predetermined mileage is not covered
under this policy.
•Improper operation or maintenance:This includes, but is not limited
to, effects caused by:

IN OBSERVANCE OF U.S. FEDERAL LAW, THIS LIMITED WAR-
RANTY AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY HAS BEEN DESIGNATED A
“LIMITED WARRANTY”. CTNA DOES NOT INTEND TO REPRE-
SENT THROUGH THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND ADJUSTMENT
POLICY THAT TIRE FAILURES CAN OR CANNOT HAPPEN.
CTNA’S OBLIGATIONS
Contact the vehicle dealer from where you purchased the vehicle. Your
tires may be covered under the vehicle manufacturer ’s limited warranty.
If not, this CTNA Policy applies and replacement of Eligible Tires can be
made by any vehicle dealer authorized to handle General brand tire
adjustments or a General brand authorized dealer (“Authorized Dealer”).
CTNA will replace the tire pursuant to the terms of this Limited Warranty
and Adjustment Policy. Tires that are replaced under an adjustment basis
under this Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy become the property
of CTNA.
OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
To make an eligible claim under this Limited Warranty and Adjustment
Policy, the owner must present a claim with the tire to an Authorized
Dealer. For the nearest Authorized Dealer, consult the Yellow Pages, the
General brand internet address, or the 800 telephone numbers shown on
the back of this Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy. Owner must
present new vehicle registration form or new vehicle sales invoice
indicating the date of purchase. Owner will be required to sign the CTNA
Limited Warranty Claim Form or dealer replacement sales receipt.
Owner is responsible for paying all applicable taxes set forth under this
Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy. Owner is also responsible for
paying local tire disposal fees and any parts or service regardless of
mileage or months of service. This includes payment for tire rotation,
alignment, towing, road service, valve stems and tire repairs. Owner is
responsible for maintaining proper tire air pressure and for proper
maintenance of the tire.

•EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY DUE TO IMPROPER
MOUNTING.Only specially trained persons should mount tires.
•FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON APPROVED RIMS.
•FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL ASSEMBLIES COM-
PLETELY BEFORE DEMOUNTING.
•TIRE SPINNING.On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice, etc.,
do not spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55 kph), as indicated on the
speedometer.
•EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.This can also result in tire disinte-
gration 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.
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 tread wear 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
GOODYEAR DUNLOP TIRES

•WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained
personnel when 2/32 nds inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth remain, as
indicated by treadwear indicators molded into the tread grooves. Use
of worn-out tires (less than 2/32 nds of an inch remaining tread depth)
increases the probability of tire failure. In most states, it is illegal to
drive with less than 2/32 nds 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 creates 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 maximum
speed capability of the tire when properly loaded and inflated.
However, even when properly loaded and inflated, driving for pro-
longed 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 accor-
dance with RMA repair procedures 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.

Neither Kumho Tire U.S.A., Inc., nor any other tire manufacturer, can
guarantae you’ll receive a certain number of miles from any given tire.
Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions and vehicle mainte-
nance all play a vital role in the tread life of a tire. However, if a tire does
not reach the warranted mileage, and the original owner of the tires has
complied with the terms and conditions of the Limited Tread Wear
Warranty, KUMHO will replace the tires as follows:
1. If tread has worn down to the tread wear indicators (2/32 nds tread
depth) within 72 months from the date of purchase (or manufacturer)
or does not deliver the warranted miles of normal passenger use,
whichever comes first, Kumho Tire U.S.A., Inc. will make an allow-
ance for unused service towards a comparable new tire, pro-rated on
warranted miles.
2. The replacement allowance will be calculated by percentage of the
warranted miles not received multiplied to the predetermined adjust-
ment price of the tire at the time and place of the adjustment.
3. For original equipment tires on new vehicles, please reference separate
warranty brochure in your vehicle’s glove box.
