TIRE REPLACEMENT AND
ADJUSTMENT POLICY (EXCLUDES
GOODYEAR UNISTEELRADIAL LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the benefits 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 pre-
scribed tire identification numbers.
Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on
which they were originally installed according to the
vehicle manufacturer or Goodyear’s recommenda-
tions.
Your tires were purchased on or after March 1,
2009.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires identified with the
“LT” designation in the sidewall stamping plus the
8-19.5 and 8R19.5 sizes which do not carry the “LT”
designation.
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 first 2/32” of usable treadwear or twelve months
from date of purchase, whichever comes first, will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire at no charge, including mounting and balancing.
(Without proof of purchase the date of manufacture will
be used to determine eligibility.)
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 condi-
tion during the first 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 first 50% of usable treadwear (1/32”) will be re-
placed 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 tread-
wear indicators become visible (worn to 2/32”) , which-
ever occurs first. (Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)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 hasbeen worn off. You pay for mounting and balancing, and
an amount equal to the current Federal Excise Tax (F.E.T.
– U.S. only) any other applicable taxes and government-
mandated charges.
EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32” of
usable 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 compa-
rable tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount equal to the full
current Federal Excise Tax (U.S. only) or any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated charges
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 and government-
mandated charges.
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 configuration. If a
higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the dif-
ference 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.

Goodyear & Dunlop do not warrant or give credit in
any adjustment transaction for any kind of material
added to a tire (e.g., tire fillers, sealants, balancing
substances) after the tire leaves a factory producing
Goodyear or Dunlop tires, nor will it adjust any tire
that has failed as a result of adding such material.
Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condi-
tion of the vehicle, improper inflation, overloading,
high speed spin-up, misapplication, misuse, negli-
gence, racing, use of tire chains, improper mounting

tures, cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.) .
Any tire that, after leaving a factory producing Good-
year or Dunlop tires, has been intentionally altered to
change its appearance (e.g., white inlay on a black
tire or regrooved) .
Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased
more than four (4) years prior to presentation for
adjustment or, if purchase date cannot be verified,
manufactured more than four years prior to presen-
tation for adjustment.
Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.Temporary spare tires used on vehicles used in

for any tread life warranty consideration.
WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
No Representative or Dealer has authority to make any
representation, promise, or agreement on behalf of
Goodyear or Dunlop except as stated herein.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
service or otherwise become unserviceable due to con-
ditions beyond the control of the manufacturer. Under
no circumstances is this warranty a representation that
a tire failure cannot occur.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you
may also have other rights that vary from state to state or
province to province. DISCLAIMER: THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF, AND
GOODYEAR HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMI-
TATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NO OTHER WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF
ANY KIND IS MADE BY GOODYEAR OR SHALL BE
IMPLIED BY LAW.
LIMITATION OF DAMAGES: IN NO EVENT AND UN-
DER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL GOODYEAR BE

Always maintain inflation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as
shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle certifica-
tion label or in the vehicle owner’s manual:
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may
result in severe cracking, component separation or
“blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows exces-
sive sidewall flexing and increases rolling resistance,
resulting in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire durability and maximize
tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation also
increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE OR
TIRES
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the
load limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on
your tires and other critical vehicle components. Over-
loading a vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may cause tire failure. Overload-
ing your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation orblowout.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and
remember 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 fit P-Metric tires to
light trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES
EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck
in snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces gen-
erated 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 rock-
ing 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 ma-
chine 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 suscep-
tible 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.
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 pres-
sure spares and should never be used with any other
type tire.

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.FOR SERVICE ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION,

GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
This Limited Warranty and Adjustment (the “Policy”) is
issued by Continental Tire North America, Inc. (the
“Company”) and is applicable for Continental and
General-brand original equipment tires and is a promise
of replacement under certain specified conditions. This
Policy applies to tires in normal service displaying ad-
justable conditions (see Section 4) and does not re-
quire 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 Con-
tinental or 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
Continental or General brand tire according to
(A)and
(B) below.

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTY
Toyo 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 war-
ranty 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
WARRANTY
Toyo 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 (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining) or for 60 months from the date of purchase
(as verified by a copy of the original new vehicle pur-
chase invoice) , whichever comes first. 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 necessarily 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) . Ad-
justments for ride disturbances or vibration,
which cannot be corrected by balancing, are
only adjustable in the first 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 32nds of an inch used by the origi-
nal 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 ser-
vice on the vehicle they were originally installed,
used in non-commercial service and in accor-
dance with the maintenance recommendations
and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
“T” TYPE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
If an examination by Toyo shows that the “T” Type
temporary 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 appli-
cable taxes are payable by you.
(Continued on next page)
TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 35
Page 40 of 61
(3) Limited warranty duration is the life of the origi-nal usable tread (down to 2/32nds of an inch of
tread remaining) or for 60 months from the date
of purchase (as verified by a copy of the origi-
nal new vehicle purchase invoice) , whichever
comes first. In the event the original new ve-
hicle purchase invoice is unavailable, the DOT
serial number will be used to determine
eligibility.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE SAFETY
INFORMATION
The 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 follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. FAILURE TO OBSERVE RECOMMENDED PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD LEAD TO ERRATIC VEHICLE
BEHAVIOR AND/OR TIRE DAMAGE POSSIBLY RE-
SULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
(1) A “T” Type temporary spare tire is designed for temporary 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.
(5) Check inflation pressure before use. Failure to have proper inflation pressure when using your
spare tire can result in serious personal injury
or death. Maintain inflation pressure of 35 psi
for the temporary full size spare and 60 psi for
the “T” Type, high pressure, temporary spare
tire. When inflating or adding air to a “T” Type
temporary spare tire, be very careful since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure much
more rapidly than a normal full size tire.
(6) Placing (mounting) your temporary use tire on a wheel which is not specifically designed for
use with the temporary use tire or placing an-
other type tire on your temporary use wheel
can be dangerous. Your vehicle’s handling
characteristics can be seriously affected. You
could have an accident resulting in serious
personal injury or death. Consult your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for proper use of your “tem-
porary use” spare tire.
(7) The “T” Type high pressure temporary spare tire should not be used with any other wheel
nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used on the high pres-
sure spare tire wheel. (8) Do not operate your vehicle with more than
one temporary spare in use (this does not ap-
ply to a full size spare) and only at limited
speeds and distances as indicated on the
sidewall of the tire.
(9) The “T” Type temporary spare tire may lower ground clearance when used. Avoid driving
over large obstacles and other road hazards.
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual for other
special clearance precautions when using the
“T” Type temporary spare tire provided in your
vehicle.
(10) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY
(1)Mileage is not warranted.
(2) Damage due to road hazards, whether repair- able or not (such as cut, snag, bruise, impact
break, bulge, puncture, improper use of tire
chains, stone drill, chip, scale) . These types of
damages or air loss always require tire re-
moval and inspection by a qualified tire
professional.
(3) Irregular tread wear or rapid tread wear due to failure to rotate the tires at recommended in-
tervals or from vehicle misalignment.
(4) Damage resulting from improper repair materi- als or procedures such as rope type plugs.
Toyo does not warrant any inspection or repair
process. The repair is entirely the responsibil-
ity of the repairer and should be made in ac-
cordance with procedures as specified by the
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) .
(5) Damage from incorrect mounting or dismount- ing of the tire, incorrect wheel size, water or
other material trapped inside the tire during
mounting or failure to balance the tires. (6) Damage or uneven tread wear from incorrect
inflation, overloading, fire, theft, defective me-
chanical conditions such as brakes, shocks,
rims, wreck or collision, misuse,
misapplication, negligence, willful damage or
abuse, vandalism, tire alteration, tire spinning,
racing or competition purposes.
(7) Damage, corrosion or rubber deterioration due to the use of oil-based chemicals, water-
based sealers, balancing substances, or flam-
mable gases.
(8) Uniformity problems such as ride, balance and vibration complaints after the first 25% of
tread wear.
(9) Replacement of four (4) or more tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted for ride dis-
turbance complaints i.e. vibration, out of
round, out of balance, pulling, noise, due to

CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:(1) It is recommended tires be rotated every 3,500 miles or less for high performance (low
profile) tires or every 7,500 miles or less for
standard passenger and light truck tires. More
frequent rotation may be necessary if, upon
inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is
beginning to appear. As a general rule, front
and rear tire tread depth differential should be
kept to 2/32nds of an inch or less. Keep a
record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recom- mended air pressure in the tires according to
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
Check inflation pressures on all your tires, in-
cluding the spare tire, when tires are cold, at
least once a month before driving. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most
important thing you can do to ensure optimum
tread life and tire durability. To avoid injury,
NEVER reinflate a tire that has been run se-
verely underinflated.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s alignment in accordance with vehicle manu-
facturer’s specifications.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be exceeded. (5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not
be exceeded.
(6) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY
In the event that you make a claim under the terms of the
warranty, we ask the consumer to:
(1) Present your tires and your vehicle to an au- thorized Toyo dealer. Call consumer relations
at (800) 442- 8696 (Pacific Time) or (888)
444-8696 (Eastern Time) for assistance locat-
ing the nearest Toyo tire dealer or visit our
web site at www.toyo.com for our dealer
locator.
(2) Complete and sign the Toyo Limited Warranty Claim form provided by the dealer and leave
the tire with the dealer for warranty
processing.
NOTE: Check with your vehicle dealership. They may
also assist you with your tire service requirements or in
obtaining tire warranty service from the tire manufac-
turer.
The consumer is entitled to an adjustment in accor-
dance with the warranty that was in effect when the tire
was installed on the vehicle as original equipment. The
adjustment policy provides for replacement with a com-
parable new Toyo tire if a Toyo tire becomes unservice- able due to an adjustable condition verified by Toyo’s
inspection of the tire. Free replacement or a pro rata
charge depends on the remaining usable tread when
tire is presented for adjustment.
