NOTE:

** For tires with speed symbols W and Y, ZR may or may not also
ap
pear within the size designation. For tires with a maximum speed
above 186 mph a ZR must appear in the size designation.
DATE OF TIRE MANUFACTURE
The date that a tire was manufactured can be determined by
ex
amining the last four digits of the 12 digit DOT serial code, which is
found on at least one sidewall of a tire. For tires that were produced
after the year 2000, the last four digits of the serial code will identify
the week and the year that the tire was manufactured. If the last four
digits in the DOT serial code were to read “3013” it would mean that
the tire was manufactured the 30th week of 2013. If you are uncertain,
check with a qualified tire service professional to be sure.

MAX LOAD AND INFLATION
The maximum load and inflation pressure are marked on the tire
si
dewall in english and metric units.
PLY COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS
The number of plies and their generic composition of cord materials in
th
e sidewall and tread areas can be found on at least one sidewall of a
tire.
RADIAL MARKING
A radial ply tire will have the word “radial” marked on at least one
si
dewall. An “R” found in the tire size marking also refers to the tire
being a radial ply tire.
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING SYSTEM (UTQG)
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards (UTQG) were created to
he
lp you make an informed decision when purchasing passenger car
tires by providing relative information about a tire’s treadwear,
traction, and temperature characteristics. Here is a breakdown of the
different categories that the UTQG grades:
TREAD WEAR
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate
of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear
one and a half (1½) times as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA
, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specific government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.

•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.

THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built and tested to
th
e high engineering standards set by North America’s leading car
manufacturers and to Goodyear’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
th
e 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
yo

ur 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.
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
pressure spares and should never be used with any other type tire.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim
as
sembly 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.
DO NOT MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND TYPES ON THE
SA
ME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear® recommends fitment
of
four tires of the same type and size unless otherwise specified by the
vehicle manufacturer.

GOODYEAR® DUNLOP® TIRES

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.

FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the deepest tread
de
pth 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 winter 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
lo
west speed rated tires.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can cause
in
stability. When changing tire sizes, always consult dealer for
optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted by
Goodyear® for any reason. Speed ratings and US Department of
Transportation (DOT) test compliance certifications are voided for
retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION, WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND
BA
LANCE AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES

Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/ overinflation,
whe
el imbalance and misalignment can cause vibration or irregular tire
wear. Rotate your tires according to your vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles / 10,000 km.

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 (RMA) 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 manufac -
t
urer as suitable for radial tire.
• O nly specially trained persons shall mount tires.
• AIR PRESSURE
Check the pressure in your tires, including your spare, at least
mo
nthly, and always before and during extended driving. Check
tires cold (at least three hours after the vehicle has been stopped and
before it is driven more than 1 mile or 1.6 kilometers). Do not reduce

HANKOOK TIRES
138
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. Under inflation
produces extreme flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the
point that premature tire failure may occur. Over inflation can cause
the tires to be more susceptible to impact damage. Cold tire pres-
sures, however, should never be higher than the limit molded on the
si
dewall.
• LOAD LIMITS N
ever exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto the sidewall of
yo
ur tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the
vehicle tire placard, whichever is less. Overloading builds up exces-
sive heat in the tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
• HAZARDS A
void running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks, curbs, metal,
gl
ass, etc.) which may possibly cause internal tire damage.
Continued use of a tire that has suffered internal damage (which
may not be externally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure.
Determination of suspected internal damage requires demounting
the tire from its rim and examination by trained tire personnel.
• WORN TIRES N
ever drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained
pe
rsonnel when 2/32 nds inch (1.6 mm) of tread depth remain, as
in

dicated 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 O
perating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed limits or the
ma
ximum speeds justified by driving conditions can be dangerous.
Excessive speed creates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible
tire failure.
• SPEED-RATED TIRES S
peed-rated tires are identified by letters S, T, H, V, W, or Z as either
pa
rt of the size designation (e.g., HR), or part of the service descrip -
tion adjacent to the size designation (e.g., 94H) and indicates the
ma
ximum speed capability of the tire when properly loaded and
