PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement
that are removed from service due to a
covered warranty condition will be
replaced with a comparable new
Goodyear or Dunlop tire on a prorated
basis for up to six (6) years from the date
of original new tire purchase or when the
treadwear indicators become visible
(worn to 2/32” [1.6 mm]), whichever
occurs first. (Without proof of purchase
the date of manufacture will be used to
determine eligibility.)
HOW WILL PRORATED
CHARGES BE CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by
multiplying the tire’s advertised retail
selling price at the time of adjustment by
the percentage of usable original tread
that has been worn off. You pay for
mounting and balancing, and an amount
equal to the current Federal Excise Tax
(F.E.T. – U.S. only) and any other
applicable taxes and government
mandated charges.
EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an
original 8/32” (6.4 mm) of usable
treadwear and is worn to 4/32” (3.2 mm)
of usable tread remaining, you have used
50% and therefore must pay 50% of the
advertised retail selling price of the
comparable tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount
equal to the full current Federal Excise
Tax (U.S. only) or any other applicable
taxes and government-mandated
charges for the comparable new
replacement tire at the time of
adjustment. If the price of the new
comparable tire is $130.00, the cost to
you would be $65.00 plus F.E.T. (U.S.
only) plus any other applicable taxes and
government-mandated charges.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE
TIRE?
A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire will be the same brand tire and may
either be the same line of tire or, in the
event that the tire is not available, the
same brand tire with the same basic
construction and similar performance
attributes with a different sidewall or
tread configuration. If a higher priced tire
is accepted as replacement, the
difference in price will be at an additional
charge to you. Any replacement tire
provided pursuant to this warranty will be
covered by the warranty in effect at the
time of replacement.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread
life and the coverage of this limited
warranty ends when the treadwear
indicators become visible (worn to 2/32”
[1.6 mm]), or six (6) years from the date
of new tire purchase, whichever occurs
first. (Without proof of purchase the date
of manufacture will be used to determine
eligibility.)
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in
the United States and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THIS WARRANTY?
This limited warranty does not cover the
following:
• Tires submitted for ride disturbancecomplaints that are worn beyond the
first 2/32” (1.6 mm) tread depth or
tires submitted for ride disturbance
due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.

• Goodyear does not warrant or givecredit in any adjustment transaction
for any kind of material added to a tire
(e.g., tire fillers, sealants, balancing
substances) after the tire leaves a
factory producing Goodyear or Dunlop
tires, nor will it adjust any tire that has
failed as a result of adding such
material.
• Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condition of the vehicle,
improper inflation, overloading, high
speed spin-up, misapplication,
misuse, negligence, racing, use of tire
chains, improper mounting or
demounting, improper repair, wreck,
collision or fire.
• Road hazards (includes, but not limited to, punctures, cuts, snags,
impact breaks, etc.).
• Any tire that, after leaving a factory producing Goodyear or Dunlop tires,
has been intentionally altered to
change its appearance (e.g., white
inlay on a black tire or regrooved).
• Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased more than four (4) years
prior to presentation for adjustment
or, if purchase date cannot be verified,
manufactured more than four years
prior to presentation for adjustment.
• Temporary spare tires used on vehicles used in racing and on
passenger cars in special applications
such as police pursuit service.
• Goodyear Unisteel Commercial Radial Light Truck Tires.
• Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
• Tires supplied as Original Equipment are not eligible for any tread life
warranty consideration. • Cosmetic weather checking.
• Low tire pressure-monitoring system –
refer to vehicle manufacturer’s
warranty.
• Ultra high-performance summer tires are not recommended for winter use,
and tread or shoulder cracking on
those tires resulting from winter use
will not be covered under our warranty.
WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL
RIGHTS?
No Representative or Dealer has authority
to make any representation, promise or
agreement on behalf of Goodyear, except
as stated herein. Any tire, no matter how
well constructed, may fail in service or
otherwise become unserviceable due to
conditions beyond the control of the
manufacturer. Under no circumstances is
this warranty a representation that a tire
failure cannot occur.

may result from:
•TIRE FAILURE DUE TO
UNDERINFLATION/
OVERLOADING/
MISAPPLICATION. Follow the
vehicle owner’s manual or tire placard
in vehicle.
• TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT
DAMAGE/IMPROPER
MAINTENANCE. Tires should be
inspected regularly by a qualified
technician for signs of damage, such
as punctures or impacts.
• TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER
REPAIRS. See U.S. Tire Manufacturers
Association (USTMA) established
repair procedures at www.ustires.org
and/or go to www.goodyear.com for
information on proper repair
procedures.

Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Alert
Refer 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 exceed50 mph (80 km/h).
• Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe handling
maneuvers.
• Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires
have lost air pressure, your
vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe
maneuvers.
To Prolong Tire Life During A
System Alert
The 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 km/h) 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 Goodyear 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 vehicle’s tire pressure
monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation
maintenance and external
inspections must be performed by
service personnel at a Goodyear or
Dunlop Run-Flat service facility.
WARNING!
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
extension air hose must be used if
more than 40 psi (270 kPa) 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 operating low
tire pressure-monitoring system,
the tires may fail when operated in
an underinflated condition,
resulting 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.

TEMPORARY TIRE)
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 2/32”
(1.6 mm) remaining, at which point the
tire is considered to be fully worn out.
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES
A. Free replacementIf Hankook Radial Passenger &
Light Truck Tires fail as a result of

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 of Applicable taxes shall be
paid by the user. Otherwise
adjustment for compensation will be
made on a prorated basis calculated
by multiplying the actual 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 conventional tire. To conserve
tire tread life, temporary tire should
be returned to the trunk as soon as it
is convenient to have your standard
tire repaired or replaced.
B.If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a
result of defect in materials and/or
workmanship during the first 50% of
usable treadwear, the tire will be
replaced with a new, comparable tire
at no charge including mounting
charge. No adjustment will be made
for tires that are worn more than
50%.
