in order to obtain warranty service. The
names and addresses of authorized Infiniti
retailers are listed in telephone directories.

AND RECORDS
As a condition of this warranty, you are

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 quality 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 Goodyear
or Dunlop 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”), 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 disturbance complaints that are worn beyond the first two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32”) tread
depth or tires submitted for ride disturbance
due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.
•• Goodyear & Dunlop do not warrant or give
credit 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).

presentation for adjustment or, if purchase
date cannot be verified, manufactured more
than four years prior to presentation for
adjustment.
•• Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
•• 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.
•• Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use, incidental or consequential damages.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
No Representative or Dealer has authority
to make any representation, promise, or
agreement on behalf of Goodyear or Dunlop
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.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights
and you may also have other rights that vary
from state to state or province to province.

claim form supplied by an authorized
Goodyear or Dunlop service facility. The form
must be filled out completely and signed,

SAFETY WARNINGS
Property damage, serious injury or death 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 Rubber Manufacturer’s Association
(RMA) established repair procedures at
www.rma.org and/or go to www.goodyear.
com for information on proper repair
procedures.
••EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY
DUE TO IMPROPER MOUNTING.
Only specially-trained persons should mount
tires. When mounting tires, use safety cage
and clip-on extension air hose to inflate.
••FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON
APPROVED RIMS.
••FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL
ASSEMBLIES COMPLETELY BEFORE
DEMOUNTING.
TIRE SPINNING. On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice,
etc., do not spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55
kph), as indicated on the speedometer.
••EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.
This can also result in tire disintegration or
axle failure.
WARNING: Vehicle handling, traction, ride
comfort and other performance parameters
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 vehicle
placard, (2) The tires have sufficient inflation
pressure to carry the load and (3) There is
proper clearance with no interference points
between the tire and vehicle. The consumer
must be aware to always drive safely and obey
all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or

RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires
are not warranted by Goodyear and Dunlop
for any reason. Goodyear and Dunlop speed
ratings and U.S. Department of Transportation
test compliance certifications are voided for
retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE
SUSPENSION, 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
recommendations or at maximum intervals of
6,000 miles/10,000 km.

information
You must go to an authorized Goodyear or
Dunlop outlet for replacement tires and all
warranty service.
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 conditions vary widely. The
serviceability of a tire over time is a function
of the storage and service conditions (inflation
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.
