HIGHWAY AUTO, LIGHT
TRUCK AND SPECIAL
TRAILER TIRE WARRANTY
AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
(EXCLUDES GOODYEAR®
UNISTEEL® RADIAL LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the benefits of this
Limited Warranty if you meet all the
following criteria:
• You are the owner or authorized agentof the owner of new Goodyear or
Dunlop® highway auto or light truck
tires or Goodyear Special Trailer (ST)
tires supplied as Original Equipment
on your vehicle or trailer.
• Your tires bear Department of Transportation prescribed tire
identification numbers.
• Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which they were originally
installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer or Goodyear’s
recommendations.
• Your tires were purchased on or after November 1, 2018.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires
identified with the “LT” designation in
the sidewall stamping. e.g.
LT245/75R16.
Special Trailer tires are defined as all
tires identified with the “ST” designation
in the sidewall stamping, e.g.
ST235/80R16.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR
HOW LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway
radial auto, radial light truck tire or
Goodyear Special Trailer (ST) tire,
covered by this policy, removed from
service due to a covered warranty
condition during the first 2/32" (1.6 mm)
of usable tread or twelve months from
date of purchase, whichever comes first,
will be replaced with a comparable new
Goodyear or Dunlop tire at no charge,
including mounting and balancing.
(Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine
eligibility.)
ALL OTHER HIGHWAY AUTO
OR LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway
auto or light truck tire, other than radial
auto, radial light truck tires, removed from
service due to a covered warranty
condition during the first 1/32” (0.8 mm)
of usable treadwear will be replaced with
a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire at no charge, including mounting and
balancing.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Goodyear or Dunlop temporary spare
tire removed from service due to a
covered warranty condition during the
first 50% of usable treadwear (1/32"
[0.8 mm]) will be replaced with a
comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
temporary spare tire at no charge,
including mounting.

TIRE TREADWEAR
INDICATORS “WEAR BARS”
Most tires contain wear indicators “Wear
Bar” in the grooves of the tire tread which
show up when only 2/32” (1.6 mm) of
tread is remaining. At this stage, your tires
must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this
stage are extremely dangerous.
WARNING!
Tires degrade over time depending
on many factors such as weather,
storage conditions, and conditions
of use (load, speed, inflation
pressure, etc.) the tires experience
throughout their lives. In general,
tires should be replaced after six
years regardless of tread wear.
However, heat caused by hot
climates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the aging
process and may require tires to be
replaced more frequently.
You should replace your spare tire
when you replace the road tires or
after six years due to aging even if it
has not been used.
DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVING
ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE
IS DANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of your tires is
molded on the tire sidewall. Do not
exceed this rating. Follow the loading
instructions of the manufacturer 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 willbuild 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 a 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 recommendations 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.
