WHO IS COVEREDThe owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light Truck tire
which bears the BFGoodrich name and complete DOT
identifi cation number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
BFGoodrich Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in normal
service on the vehicle on which they were originally fi tted
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 fi rst. 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 COVEREDTires 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;
• Underinfl ation, overinfl ation, improper maintenance or
other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel
misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
• Accident, fi re, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.
BFGOODRICH TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
(Continued on page 16)WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DOPASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a comparable
new BFGoodrich 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 benefi cial 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
and 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 benefi cial
to the user) or after 12 months from date of purchase, the
user must pay the cost of a comparable new BFGoodrich
passenger or light truck replacement tire on a pro rata basis.
The dealer 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 BFGoodrich Brand 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
and applicable taxes are payable by the user.

HIGHWAY AUTO AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE
REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
(EXCLUDES GOODYEAR
UNISTEEL
® RADIAL LIGHT TRUCK TIRES)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?You are eligible for the benefi ts of this Limited Warranty
if you meet all the following criteria:
• You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of
new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto or light truck
tires supplied as Original Equipment on your vehicle.
• Your tires bear Department of Transportation prescribed
tire identifi cation numbers.
• Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which
they were originally installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer or Goodyear’s recommendations.
• Your tires were purchased on or after January 01,
2004.
Light truck tires are defi ned as all tires identifi ed with the
“LT” designation in the sidewall stamping plus the 8-19.5
and 8R19.5 sizes which do not carry the “LT” designa-
tion.WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG?FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway radial auto or radial
light truck tire, covered by this policy, removed from service
due to a covered warranty condition during the fi rst 2/32” of
usable treadwear or twelve months from date of purchase,
whichever comes fi rst, will be replaced with a comparable
new Goodyear or Dunlop tire at no charge, including mount-
ing and balancing. (Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine age.)
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
ALL OTHER HIGHWAY AUTO OR LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto or light truck
tire, other than radial auto, radial light truck tires, removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition during
the fi rst 1/32” of usable treadwear will be replaced with
a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tire at no charge,
including mounting and balancing.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Goodyear or Dunlop temporary spare tire removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition during
the fi rst 50% of usable treadwear (1/32”) will be replaced
with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop temporary
spare tire at no charge, including mounting.
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement that are removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition will be
replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tire
on a prorated basis for up to six (6) years from the date of
original new tire purchase or when the treadwear indicators
become visible (worn to 2/32”) , whichever occurs fi rst.
(Without proof of purchase the date of manufacture will
be used to determine age.)HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES BE
CALCULATED?Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the
tire’s advertised retail selling price at the time of adjust-
ment by the percentage of usable original tread that has
been worn off. You pay for mounting and balancing, and
an amount equal to the current Federal Excise Tax (F.E.T.
– U.S. only) and any other applicable taxes.EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32” of us-
able treadwear and is worn to 4/32” usable tread remaining,
you have used 50%, and therefore must pay 50% of the
advertised retail selling price of the comparable tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount equal to the full cur-
rent Federal Excise Tax (U.S. only) or any other applicable
taxes for the comparable new replacement tire at the time
of adjustment. If the price of the new comparable tire is
$80, the cost to you would be $40 plus F.E.T. (U.S. only)
plus any other applicable taxes.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop tire will be the
same brand tire and may either be the same line of tire or,
in the event that the tire is not available, the same brand
tire with the same basic construction and quality with a
different sidewall or tread confi guration. If a higher priced
tire is accepted as replacement, the difference in price will
be at an additional charge to you.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty
will be covered by the Goodyear or Dunlop warranty in
effect at the time of replacement.ADDITIONAL PROVISIONSA tire has delivered its full original tread life and the cov-
erage of this limited warranty ends when the treadwear
indicators become visible (worn to 2/32”) , or six (6) years
from the date of new tire purchase, whichever occurs fi rst.
(Without proof of purchase the date of manufacture will
be used to determine age.)LIMITATIONSThis limited warranty is applicable only in the United States
and Canada.(Continued on page 20)

all traffi c 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 GUIDEThe 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 infl ation, even treadwear, and the presence of
any damage.DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRESProper infl ation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain
proper infl ation pressure, frequently (at least monthly)
check tires (when they are cool) with an accurate tire
pressure gauge.*
For example, it is diffi cult to tell just by looking at radial
tires whether they are underinfl ated.
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is diffi cult to notice when a tire has gone
fl at or nearly fl at since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change signifi cantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinfl ation
always requires expert inspection to determine
the source of leakage and tire removal to deter-
mine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to
reinfl ate a tire that has been run severely underinfl ated.Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts,
curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fi tment
causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2)
bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to insuf-
fi cient lubrication or improper adjustment, (3) leaking
valve core or rubber valve components. These should
be replaced when problems are detected and whenever
tires are replaced.
Always maintain infl ation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as
shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle certifi cation
label or in the vehicle owner’s manual:
Underinfl ation is the leading cause of tire failure and
may result in severe cracking, component separation or
“blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive
sidewall fl exing and increases rolling resistance, result-
ing in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper
infl ation pressure is the single most important thing you
can do to ensure tire durability and maximum tread life.
Overinfl ation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinfl ation also
increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLECheck your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the load
limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on your tires
and other critical vehicle components. Overloading a vehicle
can cause poor handling, increased fuel consumption and
may cause tire failure.
Never fi t your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and re-
member that optimum rim width is important for proper tire
load distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of
P-Metric tires is reduced by 10% when used on a light
truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fi t P-Metric tires to light
trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELYAvoid 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 WEARAlways 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 DAMAGEFrequent (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 qualifi ed persons
should repair tires.

24GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
AND ADJUSTMENT POLICYThis Limited Warranty and Adjustment (the “Policy”)
is issued by Continental Tire North America, Inc. (the
“Company”) and is applicable for General-brand original
equipment tires and is a promise of replacement under
certain specifi ed conditions. This Policy applies to tires in
normal service displaying adjustable conditions (see Section
4) and does not require the existence of a workmanship or
material related condition in order to qualify for adjustment.
THIS POLICY IS NOT A WARRANTY THAT YOUR TIRE
WILL NOT FAIL OR BECOME UNSERVICEABLE IF
NEGLECTED OR MISTREATED.1. ELIGIBILITY
a. This Policy applies to the owner of Passenger
Car, Light Truck and Serva-Spare tires bearing
the General brand name and serial numbers, and
operated in normal service.
b. Eligible tires must be the original equipment tires,
used on the vehicle on which they were originally
installed by the vehicle manufacturer.
c. Tires branded “used” are not eligible under this
Policy.
2. WHAT IS THE ADJUSTMENT POLICY
AND FOR HOW LONG?Limited warranty coverage is for a maximum period of 72
months from the date of purchase*, determined by the
new vehicle registration date or new vehicle sales invoice
showing date of purchase.
If an eligible Passenger or Light Truck or Serva-Spare tire,
used in normal service, becomes unserviceable from a
condition other than those listed under Section 4, during
or after the time or treadwear periods shown below, it will
be replaced with a comparable** new General brand tire
according to (A) and (B)below.
(A) Free Replacement Policy:
Time* Treadwear
Passenger Tire First 12 Months or First 2/32nds,
(whichever comes fi rst) .
Mounting & balancing included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes.
Light Truck Tire First 12 Months or First 3/32nds,
(whichever comes fi rst) .
Mounting & balancing included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes. (Excluding F.E.T.)
Serva-Spare No Time Limit First 1/32nd
Tires Mounting & balancing included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes.
(B) Pro Rata Replacement Policy:
Passenger/Light Truck Tires
After the "Free Replacement Policy" expires (set forth in
section 2A) , and the tire is still within 72 months from
the date of purchase*, you will pay, on a pro rata basis,
for a comparable** new General brand replacement tire.
A tire is eligible for an adjustment on a pro rata basis
until the tread is worn down to the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) . The tire tread is worn out at this point and this Policy ends regardless of
time period. Owner pays all applicable taxes (including
F.E.T.) , mounting and balancing charges.
Serva-Spare Tires
After the “Free Replacement Policy” expires (set forth
in section 2A) , no adjustment will be made.
* At the time of claim, you need to present your new vehicle
registration or new vehicle sales invoice showing date of
purchase. If satisfactory proof-of-purchase date is not
provided, the D.O.T. certifi cation date of manufacture (tire
serial number) will be used.
** A “comparable” new General brand tire may be either the
same tire line or the same basic construction but with a
different sidewall or tread confi guration. If a higher-priced
tire is accepted as replacement, the owner will pay the
difference in price. Any tire replaced under this Policy will
be covered by the current General Tire Limited Warranty
and Adjustment Policy
3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS
CALCULATEDThe replacement tire price will be determined by multiplying
the percentage of the usable tread worn by the Dealers
Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time
of the adjustment or the General brand current published
Adjustment Base Price, whichever is lower. The usable
tread is the original tread down to the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) . The Ajustment
Base Price is intended to fairly represent a Dealer's Selling
Price for the same or comparable tire.

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTYToyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand
passenger tires, light truck tires and “T” Type temporary
spare tires mounted on vehicles as original equipment for
adjustable conditions as follows:
Important: In accordance with Federal Law, this warranty
has been designated as a “Limited Warranty.” Nothing in
this limited warranty is intended to be a representation that
tire failures cannot occur:WHAT IS COVERED BY THE LIMITED
WARRANTYToyo brand passenger tires, light truck tires and full size
spare tires are warranted for adjustable conditions for the
new, original usable tread until worn down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32
nds of an inch of tread remaining) or for 60
months from the date of purchase (as verifi ed by a copy
of the original new vehicle purchase invoice) , whichever
comes fi rst. In the event the original new vehicle purchase
invoice is unavailable, the DOT serial number will be used
to determine eligibility. See “What Is Not Covered” listed
below. Presence of a manufacturing anomaly is not neces-
sarily required to qualify for adjustment.
(1) When 25% or less of the original usable tread of a
radial tire has been worn, the tire will be replaced with
a comparable new Toyo tire free of charge, including
mounting and balancing. The original usable tread is
the original tread down to the level of the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) .
Adjustments for ride disturbances or vibration, which
cannot be corrected by balancing, are only adjustable
in the fi rst 25% of usable tread (a set of four tires will
not be accepted for ride disturbance) . Service charges
or any applicable taxes are payable by you.(2) When more than 25% of the original usable tread
of a radial tire has been worn, the user must pay for
the cost of a comparable new Toyo replacement tire
based on the amount of tread used. This is calculated
by dividing the number of 32
nds of an inch used by
the original usable tread depth and multiplying by
the actual current dealer selling price. The original
usable tread is the original tread down to the level of
the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining) . Service charges or any applicable taxes
are payable by you.
(3) The tires must be used in normal highway service
on the vehicle they were originally installed, used in
non-commercial service 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.
“T” TYPE TEMPORARY SPARE TIREIf an examination by Toyo shows that the “T” Type tempo-
rary spare tire does not conform to this limited warranty,
it will be replaced with a comparable new Toyo tire by an
authorized Toyo dealer as follows:
(1) When 50% or less of the original usable tread has
been worn, the tire will be replaced with a comparable
new Toyo tire free of charge. Mounting and balancing,
service charges or any applicable taxes are payable by
you.
(2) When more than 50% of the original usable tread has
been worn, you must pay for the cost of a comparable
new Toyo replacement tire based on the amount of
tread used. Mounting and balancing, service charges
or any applicable taxes are payable by you.(3) Limited warranty duration is the life of the original usable
tread (down to 2/32
nds of an inch of tread remaining)
or for 60 months from the date of purchase (as verifi ed
by a copy of the original new vehicle purchase invoice) ,
whichever comes fi rst. In the event the original new
vehicle purchase invoice is unavailable, the DOT serial
number will be used to determine eligibility.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE SAFETY
INFORMATIONThe spare tire your car is equipped with may be of a different
size and construction from the other tires on your vehicle.
When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to fol-
low the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. FAILURE TO
OBSERVE RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS COULD
LEAD TO ERRATIC VEHICLE BEHAVIOR AND/OR TIRE
DAMAGE POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
(1) A “T” Type temporary spare tire is designed for tem-
porary use only. It must not be used as a standard
tire continuously. The temporary spare tire should be
returned to the trunk as soon as it is convenient to have
your standard tire repaired or replaced.
(2) “T” Type temporary spare tires should NOT BE used
for speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour.
(3) NEVER use chains on “T” Type temporary spare tires
because it could cause damage to your vehicle.
(4) When you replace the temporary spare tire, replace it
only with the same type of tire.

TRAILER TOWINGIf you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer
for advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure.
Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size
of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the
maximum cold infl ation pressure or the tire load rating be
exceeded. Check the tire decal and your Owner’s Manual
for further recommendations on trailer towing.TIRE ALTERATIONSDo not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations may
prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage, which
can result in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable
due to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition
of balancing or sealant liquids, may be excluded from
warranty coverage. Consult your tire warranty.HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan vehicle is
designed for temporary use only and must not be used
continually as a regular tire. The standard tire should
be repaired and/or replaced as soon as possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire
through impact or cutting, such as potholes, glass,
metal, etc.
3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-
speed-rated temporary spare tires.4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which
can vary depending on road conditions and your
driving habits. The spare tire should be returned to
the trunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired
or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifi cally
designed for your car, it should not be used on any
other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold infl ation pressure monthly and
maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm
2) even when not in
use.
8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used with
any other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers,
or trim rings be used on the high-pressure spare tire
rim which was originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire,
replace it only with the same type spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a temporary
spare tire fi tted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly
when driving on a high-pressure temporary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to
follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual instructions.
TIRE STORAGEAll tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that
there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place
away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes
and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which
tires are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline
or other substances which could deteriorate the rubber.
(Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving
could be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and
Possible Accident:
• Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
• Do not underinfl ate/overinfl ate.
