OWNER’S MANUAL
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL WARNING
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 Dunlop®Self-Supporting Technology
(DSST®) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Owner’s Manual and Limited Warranty, DSST
tires must be used with parts authorized by your Origi-
nal Equipment Vehicle Manufacturer, such as wheels
and tire pressure monitoring systems.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Dunlop DSST 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 limitations). This is an
important benefit, especially if inflation loss occurs at a
location where immediately stopping your vehicle could
be hazardous.
Because these tires ride well even without air pressure,
your vehicle is 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 monitoring 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 DSST tire can be driven at low or zero air pressure
(refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for the limita-
tions). However, the tire may have to be replaced if
driven under such applications. 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 obtain-
ing 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 authorized Dunlop
DSST service facility. Trained service personnel will in-
spect your tires to determine if they are in need of repair
or replacement.
To locate your nearest authorized Dunlop DSST service
facility, call 1-800-786-3528.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Dunlop
DSST 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 inspection must be per-
formed by service personnel at an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount extended mo-
bility tires yourself; serious injury or death could
result. Only specially trained persons should mount,
dismount and repair DSST tires.
While most tire maintenance must be performed by an
authorized Dunlop DSST service facility, as noted
above, there are a few basictire care items you can and
should 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 performance and maxi-
mize tread life.
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.

DUNLOP RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY39

Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual or the tire 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 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, torn
or missing chunks of rubber 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 Dunlop speed-rated high performance
tire, the Dunlop DSST tire may be repaired to correct a
nail-hole puncture in the tread, but proper materials and
procedures must be used. Contact an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility for information on proper re-
pairs.
WARNING
Serious injury or death may result from:
●Tire failure due to underinflation or overloading.
Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual or the tire
placard on the driver’s door edge for your vehi-
cle’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 (270kPa)
may be required to seat beads. A safety cage and
clip-on extension air hose must be used if more
than 40 psi (270kPa) is needed to seat beads.
WARNING
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud and ice,
never spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55km/h) as
indicated on the speedometer. Severe damage –
including tire disintegration and axle failure – may
result from excessive wheel spinning, and could
cause serious personal injury.
WARNINGDunlop DSST tires are designed for use only on certain
original equipment wheels supplied with a properly
operating low tire inflation pressure monitoring
system. If applied to a vehicle other than a so-
equipped vehicle, the tires may fail when operated in
an underinflated condition, which could result in loss
of vehicle control and possible serious injury or death.
Application of these tires to a vehicle not equipped
with specified original equipment wheels and an op-
erational low tire inflation pressure monitoring system
constitutes improper and unsafe use of this product.

WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRESA tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a compa-
rable 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.
