WHO IS COVERED
The original owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light
Truck tire which bears the BFGoodrich name and com-
plete DOT identification 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 origi-
nally fitted and in accordance 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, are covered by this
limited 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 first. At
that time, all warranties, express or implied, are termi-
nated. 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 docu-
mented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice.
If no proof of purchase is available, the date of manu-
facture, as molded on the sidewall, will be used. Re-
placement will be made in accordance with the terms
and conditions described underWhat BFGoodrich
Will Do.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, or puncture, whether repairable or not);
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance,
or improper repair;
Misapplication, underinflation, overinflation, im-
proper maintenance, racing or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechani-
cal irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalign-
ment (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire) resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
Ozone or weather cracking;Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake-
lock;
The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other
than air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (e.g. waterbase
sealers or balancing substances) .
WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this limited 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 beneficial 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
beneficial 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 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’s or Goodyear’s recommenda-
tions.
Your tires were purchased on or after March 1,
2014.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires identified with the
“LT” designation in the sidewall stamping.
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 tread or twelve months from
date of purchase, whichever comes first, will be re- placed with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tire
at no charge, including mounting and balancing. (With-
out 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 or radial light truck tires,
removed from service due to a covered warranty condi-
tion during the first 1/32
of usable tread will be re-
placed 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 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 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
$130.00, the cost to you would be $65.00 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 be either 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 similar
performance attributes with a different sidewall or tread
configuration. If a higher priced tire is accepted as
replacement, the difference in price will be at an addi-
tional charge to you. Any replacement tire provided
pursuant to this warranty will be covered by the warranty
in effect at the time of replacement.

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 Manufacturers Association (RMA) es-
tablished 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.
FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON AP-
PROVED RIMS.
FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL AS-
SEMBLIES COMPLETELY BEFORE DE-
MOUNTING.
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 af-
fected 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 differ-
ent 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 aggressive 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 GUIDE
The 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) in-
spection for proper inflation, even treadwear and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. Check inflation
pressures at least once a month and before long trips.
Use an accurate tire pressure gauge. Always check
pressures when the tires are cold (when the vehicle has
been driven less than one mile) . If you must check
inflation when the tires are hot, add 4 psi (27 kPa) to the
recommended cold inflation pressure. It is difficult to tell
just by looking at radial tires whether they are underin-
flated.*
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is difficult to notice when a tire has gone
flat or nearly flat since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change significantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation
always requires expert inspection to determine
the source of leakage and tire removal to deter-
mine repairability.
To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to
reinflate a tire that has been run severely underinflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts,
(Continued on next page)
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 27

curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fit-
ment causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seat-
ing, (2) bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to
insufficient lubrication or improper adjustment. Leaking
valve core or rubber valve components should be re-
placed when problems are detected and whenever tires
are replaced.
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
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 or increased
fuel consumption and may cause tire failure. Overload-
ing your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation or “blowout.”
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard andremember that optimum rim width is important for
proper tire load distribution and function. The maximum
load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of P-Metric &
European Metric tires is reduced by 10% when used on
a light truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric or
European 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 dam-
age and/or serious personal injury to you or a bystander.
Never exceed 35 mph/55 kph, 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 does 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 informa-
tion 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’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
(Continued on next page)
28
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

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.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR
OWN TIRES
Serious injury or death may result from explosion of
tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting proce-
dures. 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 recom-
mends 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 con-
sult the vehicle owner’s manual and follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s replacement tire recommendations. Ve-
hicle handling may be significantly affected by a change
in tire size or type. When selecting tires that are different
from the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load-carrying capacity and inflation pressure are se-
lected. Never exceed the maximum load capacity and
inflation pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Al-
ways drive safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sudden,
sharp turns or aggressive lane changes. Failure to fol-
low this warning may result in loss of control of the
vehicle, leading to an accident and serious injury or
death.
When replacing tires, you must maintain the outside
diameter and load-carrying capacity of the Original
Equipment tire. Inflation pressure may need to be ad-
justed to avoid overloading the tire. Consult the Tire &
Rim Association Load and Inflation Tables, ETRTO or
JATMA standards for correct load and inflation informa-
tion.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT
HAVE LESS LOAD CARRYING
CAPACITY THAN AS REQUIRED BY
THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger
vans, require Load Range E tires as designated by the
vehicle manufacturer. Fitment of a tire, such as a Load
Range D, with less carrying capacity is not allowed.
NOTE: Goodyear-manufactured and/or marketed
European-Metric and P-Metric passenger tires are in-
terchangeable as long as they have the same section
width, same aspect ratio and same rim diameter.Cau-
tion: Never substitute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire
for an Extra Load (XL) orReinforced tire. If the
vehicle was originally equipped with “Extra
Load” (XL) or Reinforcedtires, replace those
tires with similar sized Extra Load(XL) orRe-
inforced tires.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the
deepest tread depth on the 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 winter tires or all-season tires to
performance vehicles, always fit in sets of four. It is not
recommended to fit tires with different speed ratings. If
tires with different speed ratings are installed on a
vehicle, they should be installed with like pairs on the
same axle. The speed capability of the vehicle will
become limited to that of the lowest speed rated tires.

Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability.When changing tire sizes, always con-
sult Dealer for optimum rim width and carefully checkvehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Goodyear for any reason. Speed ratings and
U.S. Department of Transportation test compliance cer-
tifications 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 recommenda-
tions or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.

HOW TO READ A TIRE D.O.T. SERIAL
NUMBER
D.O.T. stands for Department of Transportation and the
number is on the lower sidewall of each tire to show that
the tire meets or exceeds the Department of Transpor-
tation safety standards.
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 havetires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and
treadwear.
Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual (or your
vehicle) to determine if it is equipped with run-
flat (extended mobility) tires. If your vehicle is
