•TIRE SPINNING. On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice, etc.,
do not spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h), as indicated on the
sp

eedometer.
• EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.
This can also result in tire disin-
tegration or axle failure.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and performance
f r

om 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,
sa
fety 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.*
WARNING!
Vehicle handling, traction, ride comfort and other performance
pa
rameters 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
v
ehicle placard,
2. The tires have sufficient inflation pressure to carry the load and
3
. There is proper clearance with no interference points between
t
he tire and vehicle.
The consumer must be aware to always drive safely and obey all
tr
affic 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.

GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES
126
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
ex
pert 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. 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
t h

e vehicle manufacturer as shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle
certification label or in the vehicle Owner’s Manual:
Under inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in
se
vere 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.
Over inflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate ride and
ge
nerate unwanted vibration. Over inflation also increases the
chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to determine the load limits.
Ov
erloading your vehicle places stress on your tires and other critical
vehicle components. Overloading a vehicle can cause poor handling
or 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
sh
own 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.

GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES
129
When replacing tires, you must maintain the outside diameter and
load-carrying capacity of the Original Equipment tire. Inflation
pressure may need to be adjusted to avoid overloading the tire.
Consult the Tire & Rim Association Load and Inflation Tables,
European Tire and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) or Japan
Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association (JATMA) standards for
correct load and inflation information.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT HAVE LESS
LO
AD-CARRYING CAPACITY THAN REQUIRED BY THE
ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger vans, require Load
Ra
nge 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
pa
ssenger tires and P-Metric passenger tires are interchangeable as
long as they have the same section width, same aspect ratio, same rim
diameter.
WARNING!
Before you replace your tires, always consult the vehicle owner’s
ma
nual and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s replacement tire
recommendations. Vehicle handling may be significantly affected
by a change in tire size or type. When selecting tires that are
different from the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load-carrying capacity and inflation pressure are 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 aggressive 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.

tire that has lost traction to spin beyond its speed capability. This is
also true when balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle
using the vehicle engine to spin the tire/wheel assembly.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. H
owever, at high
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for
example is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid
accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If you see any damage
to a tire or wheel, replace it with the spare at once and visit a
participating Michelin® tire retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each
ty
pe of Michelin® tire will cause the tire to build up excessive heat
which can cause tire damage that could result in sudden tire
destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle when one or
more tires experience a sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated
by
the legal limits and driving conditions.
SPEED RATINGS
Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some Michelin® tires.
Th
e following table shows the maximum speed corresponding to the
symbol.
*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than
14
9 mph (240 km/h). Consult your participating Michelin® tire
re

tailer for maximum speed rating if your vehicle capability exceeds
this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to use on cars with maximum
sp
eed capabilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h).
(W and Y speed ratings are subcategories of Z).
Consult your Michelin® tire retailer for maximum speed capabilities.
Fo
r PAX® System Tires consult an authorized PAX® System Tire
Retailer. Although a tire may be speed-rated, we do not endorse the
operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed
ratings are based on laboratory tests which relate to performance on
the road, but are not applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded,
worn out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired or retreaded.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
re
duce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
• Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation
o
r over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended
by vehicle manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular inter -
v
als.
• Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
t
he sidewall of the tire.
• Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
p
otholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
• Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
w
hen 2/32" of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
• Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
s
eparations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to
dismount a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and
contact a local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
• Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the
m
aximum speed justified by driving conditions.
• To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire rota -
t
ion at regular intervals is required.

8. Tire Replacement
The tires fitted to your vehicle as original equipment were tested and
ap
proved by the vehicle manufacturer and the tire manufacturer and
take into account all aspects of the vehicle’s operation. Changes in the
tire size, type or construction should not be made without seeking
advice from the vehicle or tire manufacturer or an authorized Pirelli
dealer since unapproved tires on your vehicle could adversely affect
steering, handling, braking and traction. The tire information (tire
size, load index and speed symbol) as found on the vehicle placard or
in the owner’s manual should always be followed when replacing
tires.
It is strongly recommended that Pirelli tires be mounted in sets of four
w i

th the same tread type. Pirelli tires should not be mixed with other
tire brands. It is necessary to follow this procedure because different
tire constructions have different handling characteristics. Tires on the
same axle must be the same manufacturer, brand, tire size, load index,
speed rating and Pirelli part number.

When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is homogeneously fitted
(f
our tires of the same tire size), fit the new tires on the rear axle. This
applies to all vehicles regardless of their drive axle. (Front or Rear Drive).

On all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles the tires must always
be
replaced in sets of four.
When replacing tires on light truck vehicles, you should always follow
th
e vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Passenger and light
truck tires are not interchangeable, due to differences in their
pressures and load carrying capacity.
P-Metric and Euro-metric Interchangeability: Euro-metric (Example:
22
5/45R17) tires have a load index which is equal to or greater than
that of the same size P-metric (Example: P225/45R17) tire. Therefore,
they have the same or higher load carrying capacity at the maximum
rated inflation pressure. Always check with your tire dealer or Pirelli
Tire Consumer Affairs to be sure of the exact interchangeability to
maintain proper vehicle dynamics.
Please be aware that it is important that, before fitting the suggested
ti
res, the fitment is allowed by the technical specifications of the
vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and the relevant homologations.
Pirelli Tire does not express any view as to the compatibility of the
wheel/tire combination with the technical specifications for the
chassis and vehicle.

PIRELLI TIRES
208
TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD
CARRYING CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS
HAVE A LOAD INDEX AND SPEED SYMBOL EQUAL TO OR
GREATER THAN THOSE FITTED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
When making plus size fitments, you should consult with the dealer
re
garding any suspension or braking system modifications which
may be recommended for the vehicle.
9. Tire Inspection
As a minimum, tires (including the spare tire) should be examined
an
d air pressure checked monthly and always prior to long trips. They
should also be examined if you strike any unusual object on the road.
Tires showing bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations or uneven wear must
be dismounted and examined by an authorized Pirelli tire dealer and
replaced if necessary. Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in the
tread grooves, which show up when the tread has worn to 2/32”
remaining. At this point, your tires must be replaced because they are
illegal and dangerous.
The mere passage of time (age) does not cause tires to deteriorate, but
ra
ther exposure to outside forces. Such outside forces can include, but
are not limited to: road hazards, punctures, improper repairs,
misalignment, under inflated operation, over inflated operation,
excessive heat caused by over deflected operation, excessive exposure
to ozone, improper storage conditions, etc. Tire companies can only
have an impact on a few of these exposures. Tire companies add
antiozinants and anti-oxidants (anti-degradation compounds) to
minimize degradation. Pirelli believes that since there is no way to
accurately predict what outside forces a tire will be exposed to there is
no scientifically supportable age limit that can be set for tires.
To avoid cosmetic damage, use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls
a n

d rinse off with low-pressure tap water. Never apply cleaners or
dressings to enhance sidewall appearance to avoid removal of
antioxidants, which are intended to prevent ozone degradation. The
removal of anti-oxidants may degrade the rubber and can lead to
sidewall cracking. Use of high-pressure sprayers may cause sidewall
damage.
WARNING!
Driving on a damaged tire is dangerous, as the tire can suddenly
fa
il, which can lead to an accident and serious personal injury or
death.

TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY
228
Toyo Tires speed-rated passenger car tires may be repaired and
returned to service under the following conditions:
• Proper repair materials and procedures have been used.
•

The damage or puncture is not larger than 1/4” (6.4
mm) in diam-
eter.
• The repair will be the first repair performed on that tire. (Only one
r
epair per tire is permitted in order to maintain a limited speed
rating.)
• The tire must have more than 2/32” (1.6
mm) of tread remaining.
Toyo Tires speed-rated passenger tires that have been properly
re
paired qualify for reduced speed ratings as follows:
The maximum speed of a vehicle is limited by the lowest-speed- rated
ti
re on the car.
PROPER SELECTION OF TIRES
When tires need to be replaced, do not guess what tire is right for your
v e

hicle. First look at the vehicle Owner’s Manual or the Tire
Information Placard. They tell you the size of the tires that were on the
vehicle as original equipment.
Replacement tires for any vehicle must be of a size, load range, and
lo
ad capacity (by inflation) that is capable of supporting the same load
as the vehicle’s Original Equipment (OE) installed tires. Avoid
installing used tires on a vehicle. There is no way to determine what
road hazards or abuse a previously owned tire may have incurred.

CAUTION!
A tire’s speed rating is void if the tire has been retreaded,
da
maged, abused, or otherwise altered from its original condition.
Thereafter, it should be treated as a non-speed-rated tire. In
addition, retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not
warranted by Toyo Tires for any reason. Toyo Tires speed ratings
are voided for retreaded tires.
