INFINITI Q50 2014 Warranty Information Booklet

DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE OR TIRES
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to determine the
load limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on
your tires and other critical vehicle components. Over-
loading a vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may causetire failure. Overload-
ing your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation orblowout.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown 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.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck
in snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces gener-
ated by a free-spinningtire/wheel assembly may cause
sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage
and/or serious personal injury to you or a bystander.
Never exceed 35 mph/55 km/h, as indicated on your
speedometer. Use a gentle backward and forward rock-
ing motion to free your vehicle for continued driving.
Never stand near or behind a tire spinning at high
speeds. For example, while attempting to push a vehicle
that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin balance ma-
chine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEAR
Always remove tires from service when they reach two
thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32) remaining tread depth.
All new tires have treadwear indicators which appear as
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they wear to
the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32) level. Many wet
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly
bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more suscep-
tible to penetrations.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for
signs of damage and their general condition is impor-
tant for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire
Dealer inspect them. Impacts, penetrations, cracks,
knots, bulges or air loss always require tire removal and
expert inspection. Never perform a temporary repair or
use an inner tube as a substitute for a proper repair.
Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR NOTE:
Goodyear and Dunlop do not warrant any inspection or
repair process. The repairis entirely the responsibility of
the repairer and should be made in accordance with
established Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
procedures.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built,
and tested to the high engineering standards set by
North America’s leading car manufacturers and to
Goodyear and Dunlop’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 the 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
your 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 soit’s easier to handle. It also helps re-
duce the total car weight which contributes to fuel
economy.
The wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary)
Spare are specifically designed for use with high pres-
sure spares and should never be used with any other
type tire.

DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or Death may result from explosion of
tire/ rim assembly due to improper mounting proce-
dures. 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 sur-
faces. 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.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND
TYPES ON THE SAME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear and Dun-
lop recommend fitment of four (4) tires of the same type
and size unless otherwise specified by the vehicle
manufacturer.
WARNING: Before you replace your tires, always consult
the vehicle Owner’s Manual and follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s replacement tire recommendations. Ve-
hicle handling may be significantly affected by a change
in tire size or type. When selecting tires that are different
than the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load carrying capacity and inflation pressure is se-
lected. Never exceed the maximum load capacity and
inflation pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Al-
ways drive safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sud-
den, sharp turns or lane changes. Failure to follow thiswarning may result in loss of control of the vehicle,
leading to an accident and serious injury or death.
When replacing tires, you must maintain the outside
diameter and load carrying capacity of the Original
Equipment tire. Inflation pressure may need to be ad-
justed to avoid overloading the tire. Consult the Tire &
Rim Association Load and Inflation Tables, ETRTO or
JATMA standards for correct load and inflation informa-
tion.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT HAVE
LESS LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY THAN AS
REQUIRED BY THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger
vans, require Load Range 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 passenger tires and P-Metric passenger tires are
interchangeable as long as they have the same section
width, same aspect ratio, same rim diameter. Caution:
Never substitute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire for an Extra
Load (XL) tire. If the vehicle was originallyequipped
with “Extra Load” (XL) tires, replace those tires with
similar sized XL tires.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the
deepest tread depth 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 snow 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 ve-
hicle, they should be installed with like pairs on the
same axle. The speed capability of the vehicle will be-
come limited to that of the lowest speed rated tires.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always con-
sult Dealer for optimum rim width and carefully checkvehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Goodyear and Dunlop for any reason. Good-
year and Dunlop speed ratings and U.S. Department of
Transportation test compliance certifications are voided
for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLESUSPENSION, WHEEL
ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE AND ROTATE YOUR
TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/
overinflation, wheel imbalance and misalignment can
cause vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires
according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.

TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands
of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires
must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that
may result in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of
any specific tire in chronological time since service con-
ditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time
is a function of the storage and service conditions (in-
flation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely
solely on the appearance of the tire, but should be
aware of any change in dynamic performance such as
increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be a
sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have
tires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and
treadwear.FOR SERVICE ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION, FIRST

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Bro-
chure applies only to the Original Equipment tires sup-
plied with your vehicle. In order for Goodyear Run-Flat
(Extended Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOnFlat [ROF])
or Dunlop Run-Flat (Dunlop Self- Supporting Technology
[DSST]) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Limited Warranty, Goodyear or Dunlop Run-
Flat tires must use specific parts, such as a low tire
pressure monitoring system authorized by the Original
Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a high-
performance tire with a remarkable feature: It can oper-
ate for limited distances with very low or even no infla-
tion pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations). This is an important benefit, espe-
cially if inflation loss occurs at a location where imme-
diately stopping your vehicle could be hazardous.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
(Continued on next page)
30GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

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 exceed 50 mph (80 kph).
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe han-
dling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure,
your vehicle’s handling capability is reduced, particu-
larly 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). Tohelp prolong the life of
a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive at
a speed as far below 50 mph (80 kph) 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 vehi-
cle’s tire pressure monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation maintenance and ex-
ternal inspections must be performed by service per-
sonnel at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires your-
self; 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 exten-
sion air hose must be used if more than 40 psi (270kPa)
is needed 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 sys-
tem. 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.
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY31

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Owner’s Manual and
Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle.
In order for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Tech-
nology (EMT) and RunOnFlat (ROF)) tires to obtain the
performance criteria stated within this Limited War-
ranty, Goodyear Run-Flat tires must use specific parts,
such as a low tire pressure monitoring system autho-
rized by the Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire
with a remarkable feature: It can operate for limited
distances, with very low or even no inflation pressure
(refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limita-
tions). This is an important benefit, especially if inflation
loss occurs at a locationwhere immediately stopping
your vehicle could be hazardous. Because these tires
ride well even without air pressure, your vehicle must be
equipped with a system to alert you when a tire has low
or no air pressure.
MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion 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 as much as possible. Do not ex-
ceed 50 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 Run-Flat tire canbe 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 oper-
ating 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 an alert from the tire pressure-
monitoring system, contact your Goodyear Run-Flat ser-
vice facility. Trained service personnel will inspect your
tires to determine if they are in need of repair or replace-
ment.To locate your nearest authorized Goodyear Run-Flat
service facility, call 1-800-RUN-FLAT, (1-800-786-3528).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Goodyear
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 infla-
tion maintenance and external inspections must be
performed by service personnel at a Goodyear Run-
Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount Run-Flat tires
yourself; serious injury or death could result. Only
specially trained persons should mount, dismount
and repair Run-Flat tires.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
While most tire maintenance must be performed by a
Goodyear Run-Flat service facility as noted above, there
are a few basic tire care items you can and should
regularly perform yourself. These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure. It
reduces tire load capacity and allows excessive sidewall
flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire durability and maxi-
mize tread life.
(Continued on next page)
32GOODYEAR RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

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.
Consult your Vehicle Owner’s Manual, vehicle certifica-
tion label or the tire information placard on the driver’s
door edge for the recommended inflation pressure for
your tires.
TREADWEAR INSPECTION
Inspect your tires regularly (for example, each time in-
flation is checked) for sufficient depth in the tread
grooves. This can be done visually very quickly because
your tires feature treadwear indicators (raised areas in
the bottoms of the grooves) at several locations around
the tire. When the tread material has worn down to
these indicators, 2/32nds of an inch of tread groove
depth remains and the tire must be replaced. Any signs
of uneven or irregular wear may indicate the need for a
vehicle alignment or other vehicle suspension service.
TIRE/WHEEL DAMAGE INSPECTION
Inspect your tires for signs of damage to the tread or
sidewalls. Foreign objects embedded in the tread or
torn or missing chunks ofrubber in the tread or sidewall
may indicate a potential problem.
At the same time, examine your wheels for signs of
damage or abuse. A bent, dented or cracked wheel
should be replaced and the tire mounted on it should be
inspected thoroughly for damage.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear speed-rated, high-
performance tire, the Goodyear Run-Flat tire may be
repaired to correct a puncture in the tread, but PROPER
MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES MUST BE USED. Contact
a Goodyear Run-Flat service facility for information on
proper repairs. For the location of the nearest facility,
call 1-800 RUN-FLAT (1-800- 786-3528).
WARNING
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
●Tire failure due to underinflation or overloading.
Consult your Vehicle Owner’s Manual, tire infor-
mation placard, or vehicle certification label for
your vehicle’s tire inflation and load
specifications.
●Tire failure caused by excessive operation at low
or zero inflation pressure.
●Explosion of the tire/rim assembly due to im-
proper mounting. Only specially trained persons
should mount tires. 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 needed to seat beads. .
WARNING
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud and ice,
never spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as
indicated on the speedometer. Severe damage –
including tire disintegration and axle failure – may
result from excessive wheel spinning, causing seri-
ous personal injury.
Goodyear 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.
LIMITED WARRANTY
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 agent of the owner of
new Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Technol-
ogy (EMT™) or RunOnFlat™ (ROF) tires and
●Your tires bear Department of Transportation pre-
scribed tire identification numbers and
(Continued on next page)
GOODYEAR RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY33

●Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on
which they were originally installed according to the
vehicle manufacturer or Goodyear recommendations
and
●Your tires were purchased on or after March 1, 2009.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear Run-Flat tire removed from service
due to a covered warranty condition or rendered not
repairable due to a road hazard injury during the first
2/32” treadwear or 12 months from date of purchase,
whichever occurs first, will be replaced at no charge.
Mounting and balancing are included. Repairable punc-
tures will also be repaired at no charge during this
period. (Without proof of purchase, date of manufacture
will be used to determine eligibility.)
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
A tire not eligible for no-charge replacement that is
removed from service due to a covered warranty condi-
tion or rendered not repairable due to a road hazard
injury will be replaced on a prorated basis.
HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES BE
CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the
tire’s advertised Retailer selling price at the time of
adjustment by the percentage of usable original tread
that has been worn off. You pay for mounting, balancing
and any other applicable taxes and government-
mandated charges.EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32of
usable tread wear and is worn to 4/32usable tread
remaining, you have used 50% and therefore must pay
50% of the current advertised selling price of the re-
placement tire. If the price of the new replacement tire is
$160, the cost to you would be $80 plus any additional
charges, such as mounting, balancing and any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated charges.
OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
A. You must present the tire to be adjusted to an autho-
rized Goodyear Run-Flat service facility (call 1-800-
786-3528 for locations). Tires replaced on an adjust-
ment basisbecome the property of The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company or Goodyear Canada Inc.
B. You must pay for taxes and any additional services
you order at the time of adjustment.
No claim will be recognized unless submitted on a
Goodyear claim form supplied by an authorized Good-
year Run-Flat service Facility. The form must be com-
pletely filled out, signed by you and where you, the
owner or your authorized agent, presented the tire for
adjustment.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and the
coverage of this warranty ends when the tread wear
indicators becomevisible (wornto 2/32”), orsix (6)
years from the date of original tire manufacture or new
tire purchase date. (Without proof of purchase, date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)To maintain the maximum speed capability and perfor-
mance of your vehicle, any Goodyear Run-Flat tire
should be replaced with another Goodyear Run-Flat tire
of identical size and speed rating. 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 lowest speed rated tires. It is also recommended
that the lower speed rated tires be placed on the front
axle regardless of which axle is driven to help prevent
potential oversteer.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty
will be covered by the Goodyear warranty applicable to
that tire in effect at the time of replacement.
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United
States and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?
In addition, this limited warranty does not cover the
following:
●Tires submitted for ride disturbance that are worn
beyond the first one thirty-second of an inch (1/32”)
tread depth or beyond six (6) months from the date of
purchase, whichever occurs first, or tires submitted
for ride disturbance due to damages wheels or any
vehicle condition.
●Tires not serviceable because of deterioration result-
ing from operation at low or zero inflation pressure.
(Continued on next page)
34GOODYEAR RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

●Goodyear does not warrant or give credit in any ad-
justment transaction for any kind of material added
to a tire (e.g., tire fillers, sealants, balancing sub-
stances) after the tire leaves a factory producing
Goodyear tires, nor will it adjust any tire that has
failed as a result of adding such material.
●Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condi-
tion of the vehicle, improper inflation, overloading,
high-speed spin-up, misapplication, misuse, negli-
gence, racing, use of tire chains, improper mounting
or demounting, improper repair, wreck, collision or
fire.
●Any tire that, after leaving a factory producing Good-
year tires, has been intentionally altered to change
its appearance (e.g., white inlay on a black tire or
regrooved).
●Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
●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 (4) years prior to pre-
sentation for adjustment.
●Low tire pressure-monitoring system – refer to manu-
facturer’s warranty.
●Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use, in-

WARNING
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/ OVER-
LOADING/MISAPPLICATION.
Follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire placard in
vehicle.
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE/ IMPROPER

36GOODYEAR RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

ELIGIBILITY
You are eligible for the benefits of this limited warranty if
you are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of
new Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology (DSST) tires.
The tires must bear legible Department of Transporta-
tion prescribed tire identification numbers and have
been used only on the vehicle on which they were origi-
nally installed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s
or Dunlop’s recommendations.
COVERAGE
FREE REPLACEMENT
Any new Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology tire re-
moved from service due to a covered warranty condition
or rendered not repairable due to a road hazard injury
during the first 2/32” treadwear or 12 months from date
of purchase, whichever occurs first, will be replaced at
no charge. Mounting and balancing are included. Re-
pairable punctures will also be repaired at no charge
during this period. (Without proof of purchase, date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
A tire not eligible for no-charge replacement that is
removed from service due to a covered warranty condi-
tion or rendered not repairable due to a road hazard
injury will be replaced on a prorated basis. Replacement
price will be calculated by multiplying the tire’s adver-
tised Retailer selling price at the time of adjustment by
the percentage of usable original tread that has been
worn off. You pay for mounting, balancing and any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated charges,
and the cost of puncture repair, if applicable.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and the
coverage of this warranty ends when the tread wear
indicators become visible, or six (6) years from the date
of original tire manufacture ornew tire purchase date,
whichever occurs first (Without proof of purchase, date
of manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)
To maintain the maximum speed capability and perfor-
mance of your vehicle, any Dunlop® DSST® tire should
be replaced with another Dunlop DSST tire of identical
size and speed rating. If tires with different speed rat-
ings 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 lowest
speed rated tires. It is also recommended that the lower
speed rated tires be placed on the front axle regardless
of which axle is driven to help prevent potential over-
steer.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty
will be covered by the Dunlop warranty applicable to
that tire in effect at the time of replacement.
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United
States and Canada. No Representative, Retailer or Ser-
vicing Facility has authority to make any representation,
promise, or agreement on behalf of Goodyear Dunlop
Tire North America Ltd. (GDTNA), except as stated
herein.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY
In addition, this limited warranty does not cover the
following:
●GDTNA does not warrant or give credit in any adjust-
ment transaction for any kind of material added to a
tire (e.g., tire fillers, sealants, balancing substances)
after the tire leaves a factory producing Dunlop tires,
nor will it adjust any tire that has failed as a result of
adding such material.
●Tires submitted for ride disturbance that are worn
beyond the first (1/32”) tread depth or 6 months
from date of new vehicle purchase.
●Tires not serviceable because of deterioration result-
ing from operation at low or zero inflation pressure.
●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 de-
mounting, improper repair, wreck, collision or fire.
●Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
●Any tire that, after leaving a factory producing Dunlop
tires, has been intentionally altered to change its
appearance (e.g., white inlay on a black tire or re-
grooved).
●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 (4) years prior to pre-
sentation for adjustment.
●Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use, in-
cidental or consequential damages.
