20DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. No
representative or dealer has authority to make any repre-
sentation, promise, or agreement on behalf of Goodyear
Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. (GDTNA), except as
stated herein.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in service
or otherwise become unserviceable due to conditions
beyond the control of the manufacturer. Under no circum-
stances 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 and in
Canada province to province.
HOW DO YOU OBTAIN AN
ADJUSTMENT?
A. You must present the tire to be adjusted to an autho- rized Dunlop service facility. Tires replaced on an
adjustment basis become the property of Goodyear
Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. or Goodyear Canada
Inc.
B. You must pay for taxes and any additional services you order at the time of adjustment.
C. You must submit your claim on a GDTNA claim form supplied by an authorized Dunlop service facility. The
form must be filled out completely and signed by you,
the owner of the tire presented for adjustment, or your
authorized agent.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Dunlop tires is to give them a simple
but frequent inspection 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 per-
formance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain proper
inflation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are
cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge.*
For example, it is difficult to tell just by looking at radial tires
whether they are underinflated.
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 determine
repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to reinflate
a tire that has been run severely underinflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curb-
ing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fitment causes
for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead
tearing caused by a machine tool due to insufficient lubri-
cation 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 inflation pressure at the level rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown
on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual: Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may
result in severe cracking, component separation or “blow-
out.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive sidewall
flexing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in heat
and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper inflation pres-
sure is the single most important thing you can do to ensure
tire durability and maximum treadlife.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation 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 ve-
hicle can cause poor handling, increased fuel consumption
and may cause tire failure.
Never fit 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 percent 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 generated
by a free-spinning tire/wheel assembly may cause sudden

• Irregular wear or tire damage due to: • Road hazards (including punctures, cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.).
• Wreck, collision, or fire.
• Improper inflation, overloading, high speed spinup, mis-application, misuse, negligence, racing, chain
damage or improper mounting or demounting.
• Mechanical condition of the vehicle.
• Ride disturbance after the first 25% of usable treadwear or due to damaged wheels or any ve-
hicle condition.
• Temporary spare tires used on vehicle used in racing and on passenger cars in special applica-
tions, such as police pursuit service.
• Any tire intentionally altered after leaving a Goodyear factory to change its appearance. (Example: White
inlay on a black tire.)
• Tires with weather cracking which were purchased more than four (4) years prior to presentation for
adjustment. If you have no proof of purchase date,
tires manufactured four (4) or more years prior to
presentation are not covered.
• Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the vehicle or consequential damage.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages so the above limita-
tions or exclusion may not apply to you.THE WARRANTORThe warrantor of Goodyear tires is The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company, 1144 E. Market Street, Akron,
Ohio 44316.

SAFETY WARNINGFollow safety precautions and instructions contained
in the Owner’s Manual, tire placard in the vehicle or the
Important Tire Safety Information in this booklet. Disre-
garding tire safety information may result in tire failure
or explosion causing serious personal injury or death.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in service
or otherwise become unserviceable due to conditions
beyond the control of the manufacturer. This warranty is
not intended as a representation that a tire failure cannot
occur.
OWNER’S OBLIGATIONSa. You must present the tire to be adjusted to a Goodyear
Auto Service Center or Goodyear Tire Dealer. (Please
consult your telephone directory for locations.) Tires
replaced on an adjustment basis become the property
of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
b. You must pay for taxes or any additional service you order at the time of adjustment.
c. No claim will be recognized unless submitted on a
Goodyear claim form (supplied by Goodyear dealer or
Auto Service Center) completely filled out and signed
by you, the owner of the tire presented for adjustment,
or your authorized agent.
