date of purchase (proof of purchase required), or (iii)
before 6 years from the date of manufacture (whichever

purchase (Proof of Purchase and Purchase Date are
required), whichever occurs first.
During the free replacement period, mounting and balanc-
ing are included free of charge.
After the free replacement period, to determine the re-
placement price, the percent of used treadwear is multi-
plied by the owner-user’s regular buying price. Taxes,
mounting, balancing, and other service charges will be
added to the adjustment replacement price.
IN CANADA, the tire will be adjusted at dealerships
(subject always to dealer discretion) at a predetermined
“Adjustment Price”.

tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious
personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/60 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 speed as, for example, while attempt-
ing 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.
SIDEWALL TREATMENTSDunlop sidewalls are specially compounded to resist ozone
cracking or weather-cracking.
Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping
or lettering, and rinse off with plain water. Instruct service
per-sonnel and customers never to apply any other mate-
rial to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade
rubber and remove inherent ozone resistance.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent 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 innertube as a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIRNOTE
: Dunlop does not warrant any inspection or repair
process. The repair is entirely the responsibility of the
repairer and should be made in accordance with estab-
lished Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) proce-
dures.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT
YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury may result from explosion of tire/rim assem-
bly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow tire
manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to rim
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, Dunlop recommends
fitment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless
otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES:
Fit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radials must
be fitted to the same vehicle, fit radials on rear axle. Never
mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fitting
snow tires or all-season tires to performance vehicles,
always fit in sets for four. Do not fit tires with different speed ratings.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always consult
dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/
tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRESRetreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Dunlop for any reason. Dunlop speed ratings and
U.S. Department of Transportation test compliance certi-
fications are voided for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/
over-inflation, wheel imbalance, and misalignment can
cause vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires
according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
LIGHTWEIGHT TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight tempo-
rary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
• Check the inflation pressure before using and at least weekly. Maintain cold tire pressure in accordance with
that molded on the tire sidewall or found in your vehicle
owner’s manual. When inflating or adding air to light-
weight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave
