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
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.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory
mileage and performance from your Goodyear
or Dunlop tires is to give them a simple but
frequent (at least monthly) inspection for
proper inflation, even treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.

tires. Excessively worn tires are also more
susceptible 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 important for safety. If you have
any questions, have your tire Retailer 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 repair is
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
information 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 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.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR
OWN TIRES
Serious injury or Death may result from
explosion of tire/ rim assembly 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.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT
SIZES AND TYPES ON THE SAME
AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear
and Dunlop 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. Vehicle 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 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 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.

WHO IS COVERED
The original owner of a Michelin Passenger or
Light Truck tire which bears the Michelin name
and complete DOT identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Michelin Passenger and Light Truck tires, used
in normal service on the vehicle on which they
were originally fitted and in accordance with
the maintenance recommendations and safety
warnings contained in the owner’s manual
and in the Important Tire Safety Information
Section of this booklet, are covered by this
warranty against defects in workmanship
and material for the life of the original usable
tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase,
whichever comes first. At that time, all
warranties, express or implied, are terminated.
The usable tread is the original tread down
to the level of the tread wear indicators
- 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is documented by
new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If
no proof of purchase, coverage will be based
on date of manufacture.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture, whether
repairable or not);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or improper repair; • Underinfation, overinflation, improper
maintenance or other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment resulting in uneven or
rapid wear;
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.
WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to
a condition covered by this warranty will be
replaced with a comparable new Michelin
tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn,
(or 25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to
the user) and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. Mounting and balancing of tires is
included. The cost of any other service charges
or applicable taxes are payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of
original tread has been worn (or more than
25%, whichever is most beneficial to the user)
or after 12 months from date of purchase, the
user must pay the cost of a comparable new
Michelin passenger or light truck replacement
tire on a pro-rata basis. The retailer shall
determine the charge by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread
worn by the current actual selling price at
the adjustment location or the price on the
current Michelin Base Price List, whichever is
lower. This List is based on a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the actual
selling price of the tire. The cost of mounting,
balancing and any other service charges or
applicable taxes are payable by the user.
WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO
When making a claim under the terms of this
warranty, the consumer must present the tire
to an authorized Michelin Retailer. To locate
an Authorized Tire Retailer, check the yellow
pages under “Tire Retailers - Retail.”
The vehicle on which the tire was used should
be available for inspection.
It is essential that you read and understand the
safety and maintenance recommendations (see
