REPLACEMENT PRICE
Radial passenger and light truck tires adjusted
under this Limited Warranty will be replaced
free of charge during the first 25% of tread
wear or within 12 months from the date of
purchase (proof of purchase date required;
without proof of purchase date, then within
12 months from the date of tire manufacture),
whichever occurs first. During the free
replacement period, mounting and balancing
are included free of charge.
To determine the replacement price after the
free tire replacement period, the percent of
used tread wear is multiplied by the current
selling price for the replacement tire(s). The

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

31
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES
EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your
vehicle is stuck in snow, ice, mud or sand. The
centrifugal forces generated by a free-spinning
tire/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 rocking 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 machine 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
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 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 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.

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.

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 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 or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be
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 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 vehicle’s tire pressure
monitoring system, all tire service work other
than routine inflation maintenance and
external inspections must be performed by
service personnel at a Goodyear or Dunlop
Run-Flat service facility. Do not attempt to
mount or demount Run-Flat tires yourself;
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 extension
air hose must be used if more than 40 psi
(270kPa) is need 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 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.OPERATIONAL MONITORING The information contained in this Limited
Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
