or consequential damages such as loss of
the use of the vehicle, inconvenience or
commercial loss.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS
WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential
damages or limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to

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.
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
(Continued on next page)

Certain tire manufacturers speed ratings are
voided if the tire is repaired.
Although a tire was properly repaired, internal
structural damage resulting from the puncture
may have occurred.
Sometime later the damage may cause the tire
to be removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which
exceeds 1/4 inch (6mm), the tire must be
replaced. If any tire has sustained a puncture,
have the tire inspected internally by a tire
retailer for possible damage that may have
occurred.
Improper mounting and inflation procedures
can cause an explosion of the tire/rim
assembly. Only specially trained persons should
perform these tasks. Contact your tire store or
retailer for assistance.
CAUTION - Never, under any circumstance,
introduce a flammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND
BALANCING
Wheel alignment and balancing are important
for safety and maximum mileage from your
tires. Check how your tires are wearing at
least once a 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.
HARD BRAKING
You must inspect your tires after any hard
braking circumstances or after tires have slid
on the pavement. This can cause a flat spot in
a section of the tire tread.
TIRE SPINNING
Never spin your tires above a speedometer
reading of 35 mph (55 km/h) if your vehicle
becomes stuck. The centrifugal force
generated by the free spinning tire/wheel
assembly may cause a sudden tire explosion,
resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious
personal injury or death. Never allow anyone
to stand near or behind a tire spinning at high
speed while attempting to push a vehicle that
is stuck. When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other
slippery conditions, do not indulge in excessive
wheel spin. In such conditions, with automatic
transmission vehicles, by accelerating the
engine excessively, it is possible to spin one of
the drive tires beyond its speed capability. This
is also true when balancing a drive tire/wheel
assembly using the engine of the vehicle to
spin the wheel.
TIRE TREAD
Tires must be replaced when the depth of
the tread reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). Tires
are manufactured with tread wear indicators
molded into the tire grooves which indicate
tread wearout. As tires approximate 2/32 inch
(1.6 mm) wearout, the tread gauge becomes
thinner and more vulnerable to the effects
of road hazards. Also, worn tires are more
subject to hydroplaning, which can cause loss
of control. Therefore, visual tire inspection
becomes more crucial as the tires wear out.
WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be
replaced by trained personnel when 2/32nds
of an inch tread depth remains, as indicated
by the tread wear indicators molded into the
tread grooves. In most states, it is illegal to
drive with less than 2/32nds of an inch of
tread remaining.
TIRE MIXING
For best performance select tires similar in
size and load rating to the original equipment
tires. It is recommended that the same size
and type of tire be used on all four wheel
positions. In certain tires, casing ply material
and ply construction may vary as indicated
on the sidewall of the tire. When changing
or replacing tires, it is preferred that all four
tires are the same construction type (i.e., High
Performance, All Season, Mud & Snow) and
construction (Radial or Bias Ply). Before
