mileage DODGE DURANGO 2018 Vehicle Warranty

The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall. Do
not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions of the manufac-
turer of your vehicle and this will ensure that your tires are not
overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable
loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may
result in sudden tire destruction.
Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for any axle on your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit any BFGoodrich® tire
retailer for advice concerning the correct size tire and pressures. Tire size
and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or tire
load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and the owner ’s manual
supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further recommenda-
tions on trailer towing.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR
SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES CHECK
HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE EACH
MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These
conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the
handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If
you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance
checked immediately. Tires which have been run underinflated will show
more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread.
TIRE MIXING
BFGoodrich® tires are radial tires and for best performance it is recom-
mended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel
positions. Before mixing tires of different types in any configuration on
any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle manufacturer ’s Owner‘s Manual
for its recommendations.
It is especially important to check the vehicle manufacturer ’s owner ’s
manual when mixing, matching or replacing tires on 4-wheel drive
vehicles, as this may require special precautions.

TIRE ROTATION
For maximum mileage, rotate your tires according to the vehicle
manufacturer ’s recommendations (consult your vehicle owner ’s
manual), or if not provided, rotate every 5,000 miles using a rotation
pattern such as below (see “Radial Tire Rotation” in this manual).

These situations can cause a tire failure, even at a later date, which could
lead to serious personal injury or death. Consult the vehicle tire infor-
mation placard and/or owner ’s manual for the recommended inflation
pressures. In addition to tire damage, improper inflation pressure may
also:
•Adversely affect vehicle ride and handling.
•Reduce tire tread wear.
•Affect fuel economy.
Therefore, follow these important recommendations for tire and vehicle
safety, mileage, and economy:
•Always keep the vehicle manufacturer ’s recommended inflation
pressure in all your tires, including the spare.
•Check their pressure monthly and before long trips or carrying extra
weight.
Your vehicle’s tire information placard and/or owner ’s manual will tell
you the recommended cold inflation pressure for all your tires, including
the spare. Examples of placards are shown in Figures 1 and 2. Your
placard may look differently and have different tire and loading infor-
mation than that shown in either of the figures.You must check the
driver ’s-side door edge or door jamb area for the actual placard that
applies to your vehicle.For questions about locating or understanding
the tire information placard, consult your vehicle owner ’s manual or ask
a qualified tire service professional.

The vehicle or TPMS manufacturer may advise checking the TPMS
regularly to confirm it is in working order. In addition, a new pressure
sensor, certain components, or reprogramming may be necessary when a
tire is serviced. Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual, vehicle manufac-
turer, or a Bridgestone Firestone Run-Flat Certified Retailer for questions
regarding TPMS operation and service.
RUN-FLAT OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE OPERATION
WARNING!
Serious personal injury or death may result from a tire failure or
accident due to improper run-flat or low tire pressure operation.
Read and follow the instructions below, and the other maintenance
and safety recommendations elsewhere in this manual.
General Instructions
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) required in your vehicle
may have different methods of alerting you when your tire has lost
inflation pressure. The international standard for the definition of run-flat
operation is pressure at or below 10 psi (70 kPa); however, some vehicle
manufacturers may have established a different pressure limit. Consult
your vehicle owner ’s manual for the details of your TPMS. Once the
TPMS has indicated that a tire has reduced inflation pressure, the run-flat
mode of operation has commenced. During this phase of operation,
please follow these instructions:
•Reduce speed as much as safely and reasonably possible; do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).The greater the speed, the less distance the
tire can travel.
•Avoid abrupt or aggressive acceleration, braking, or cornering ma-
neuvers as much as safely and reasonably possible.Pot holes and
other road hazards should be avoided. Careful driving limits potential
damage to the tire, wheel, and vehicle.
•Proceed to a safe and convenient location for tire service as soon as
possible.Take note of your mileage; your operation distance is limited.
SeeDistance—How Far You Can Drive,” the next section in this
manual.
BRIDGESTONE® - FIRESTONE®

•If an unusual vibration or vehicle handling difficulty arises, stop
driving as soon as safely and reasonably possible.The tire may be
about to suddenly fail. Release the accelerator and gradually reduce
speed. The tire will need to be replaced before proceeding.
•If towing a trailer, stop driving as soon as safely and reasonably
possible. In this condition, it is potentially dangerous to operate a
vehicle/trailer combination.If possible, disconnect the trailer and
proceed as noted above. Do not continue to tow any trailer until proper
tire service or replacement has been performed.
•Do not touch a tire recently run-low or run-flat (it may be very hot).
Allow the tire to cool before handling.
DISTANCE—HOW FAR YOU CAN DRIVE
Factors affecting run-flat or low tire pressure operating distance include
vehicle speed, load, and maneuvering; the amount of inflation pressure
loss; the extent of any tire damage; and ambient temperature.
The tire may be marked on the sidewall with run-flat or low tire pressure
operating speed and/or distance limitations, which vary by tire design
and vehicle application (consult your vehicle owner ’s manual). By
international standard, RFT tires have a baseline limitation in run-flat
mode of the following:
Maximum Speed: 50 mph (80 km/h)
Maximum Distance: 50 miles (80 km)
NOTE:
•Maximum distance values are determined under controlled condi-
tions, which may vary in actual use.
•Your mileage capability may be less, or more, depending on your
specific operating conditions.
•If in doubt, do not exceed the 50 mile (80 km) limitation.
•Seek tire service as soon as possible to minimize tire damage.

TEMPORARY SPARE:If a TS Tire becomes unservicable from a
condition other than those listed in Section 3, during the first 1/32nd
(0.8 mm) of treadwear, then it will be replaced with a **comparable
new Continental brand TS tire FREE OF CHARGE, including mount-
ing and balancing. The owner pays all applicable taxes. After thisFree
Replacement Periodfor your TS tire expires, no warranty claim will
be accepted.
After the Free Replacement Period:The tire (except temporary spare
tire) may still be eligible for a pro rata replacement up to 72 months
from date of original purchase until the tread is worn down to the
tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread
remaining.) If an eligible tire becomes unserviceable under the stipu-
lations of this Limited Warranty and Adjustment policy it will be
replaced with a **comparable new Continental brand tire, charging the
owner a pro-rated amount. Owner pays all applicable taxes (including
F.E.T.), mounting and balancing charges.
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiplying the
percentage of the useable tread worn by the Dealers Selling Price
(excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of the adjustment. The
useable tread is the original tread down to the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread remaining.)
** Acomparablenew Continental brand tire may be of either the
same tire line or the same basic construction but with a different
sidewall or tread configuration. If a higher priced tire is selected, the
consumer will pay the difference in price.
3.WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY
THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT COVERED:
•Road Hazard: Any tire with road hazard damage, which includes,
but is not limited to: cuts, snags, punctures, bruises, and impact
breaks.
•Ride/Vibration: Any ride/vibration complaint after the first 2/32nds
(1.6 mm) of an inch of treadwear or 12 months of service, whichever
comes first.
•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: Mileage is not covered under this policy.

Owner is responsible for maintaining proper tire air pressure and for
proper maintenance of the tire.
6.SAFETY WARNING:
Ignoring any of the safety and information contained in this
warranty may result in tire failure, causing serious injury or death.
•Tire failure due to underinflation /overloading.Follow vehicle
owner ’s manual or tire placard in vehicle for proper inflation and
loading.
•Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper tire mounting.Ti re
mounting / demounting can be dangerous. It should be performed
only by a trained tire specialist using proper tools and procedures.
Prior to tire mounting/demounting, the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) wall charts and manuals should be read to obtain
the proper procedures. The failure to follow these procedures may
result in faulty positioning of the tire and/or rim, which may cause
the assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause injury or death.
•Tire failure due to damage.Inspect your tires frequently for scrapes,
bulges, separations, cuts, snags and other damage from road haz-
ards. Damage from impact can occur to the inner portions of your
tire without being visible to the outside. If you suspect a tire has been
damaged from striking anything unusual in the road, you must have
the tire removed from the rim and inspected both inside and out by
a trained tire specialist. Air loss or unusual tire wear can also be
warning signs that a tire may have internal damage. If you notice
these conditions, have your tire inspected by a trained individual.
•Tire failure due to excessive tire spinning.Avoid tire spinning. The
centrifugal force generated by a free-spinning tire/rim assembly
may cause a sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage
and/or serious injury or death. Never exceed 35 mph (55km/h) as
indicated on your speedometer when your vehicle is stuck in snow,
