disturbance due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.
Goodyear does 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

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
No Representative or Dealer has authority to make any
representation, promise or agreement on behalf of
Goodyear, 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 circumstances is
this warranty a representation that a tire failure cannot
occur. 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
LIABLE TO THE BUYER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPE-
CIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST
PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOOD-
WILL OR REPUTATION, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAM-
AGE, COST (INCLUDING FOR REPLACEMENT
TRANSPORTATION) , EXPENSE OR LOSS OF ANY
KIND. SOME STATES AND PROVINCES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCI-
DENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT AP-
PLY TO YOU.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you
may also have other rights that vary from state to state or
province to province.(Continued on next page)

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
Page 34 of 82
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.

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
equipped with run-flat tires, the following ap-
plies:

“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 WARRANTED
Tires that have become unserviceable for reasons
other than the following will be replaced in accor-
dance with this warranty.
Road hazard injuries or damages caused to the tire
by obstacles and debris on the highway such as
cuts, punctures (whether repairable or not) ,
Improper repairs or repairs that have failed.Under or overinflation, or other abuses.Incorrect mounting of the tire, or tire/wheel imbal-
ance
Mechanical irregularities in the vehicle such as
wheel misalignment, worn or faulty parts.
Accident, corrosion, vandalism, fire or damage
caused by nature.
Tires used on vehicles in racing or special applica-
tions.
Non-speed-rated temporary spare tires used over
50MPH (80Km/h) .
Tires worn out (2/32 inch (1.6mm) or less of tread
remaining) .
Tires that have been retreaded.Tires transferred from the vehicle on which they were
originally equipped.
If a warrantable condition is found, tires will be replaced
as follows:
(a) Passenger Car and Light Truck Tires (Other than Temporary Spare Tires)
When a tire becomes unserviceable during
the first 25% of original usable tread depth
or 12 months from date of vehicle purchase,
whichever is to the customer’s benefit, it will
be replaced with a comparable new YOKO-
HAMA tire free of charge. During this period,
tires will be mounted and balanced without
charge. Other service charges such as tire
rotation, alignment or applicable taxes are
payable by the customer.
When a tire has worn past the above speci-
fied pay for the cost of a new comparable
YOKOHAMA passenger car or light truck tire
on a pro-rated basis. The dealer shall deter-
mine this cost by multiplying the percentage
of usable tread worn by the current retail
selling price of that tire at the time of war-
ranty replacement. The costs of mounting,
balancing and any other service charges or
applicable taxes are payable by the
customer.
The tire is covered by this warranty for the
life of the original usable tread (the original
tread depth down to the level of tread wear
indicators molded at 2/32 inch or 1.6 mm) or
for 48 months from the date of vehicle
purchase, whichever comes first.
(Continued on next page)

Page 38 of 82
(b) Temporary Spare TiresWhen the original tread of a YOKOHAMA
Temporary Spare tire used in temporary
highway service on the vehicle in which it
was originally equipped, is worn not more
than 1/32 inch or 0.8mm, the tire will be re-
placed with a new YOKOHAMA Temporary
Spare tire free of charge, without charge for
mounting and balancing the new tire. Addi-
tional service charges are payable by the
customer.
Temporary Spare tires worn in excess of
1/32 inch or 0.8 mm but less than 2/32 inch
or 1.6 mm will be replaced and the customer
charged 50% of the current retail selling
price of the tire. The costs of mounting, bal-
ancing and any other service costs of
mounting, balancing and any other service. * At the time of claim, you need to present
your new vehicle registration or new ve-
hicle sales invoice showing date of
purchase. If satisfactory proof-of-
purchase date is not provided, the
D.O.T. certification date of manufacture
(tire serial number) will be used.
** A “comparable” new Continental or General brand tire may be either the
same tire line or the same basic con-
struction but with a different sidewall or
tread configuration. 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 cov-
ered by the current Continental/ General
Tire Limited Warranty and Adjustment
Policy
3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS
CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined by multi-
plying the percentage of the usable tread worn by the
Dealers Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at
the time of the adjustment or the Continental/General
brand current published Adjustment Base Price, which-
ever is lower. The usable tread is the original tread down
to the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining) . The Adjustment Base Price is intended to
fairly represent a Dealer’s Selling Price for the same or
comparable tire.
4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE
ADJUSTMENT POLICY
a.The following conditions are not covered:
Road Hazard: Cuts, snags, punctures, bruises or
impact breaks and any damage caused by puncture
or tire repair.
Ride/Vibration: After “Free Replacement Policy” (set
forth in section 2A) expires.
Tire Damage or Failure Resulting From Improper
Operation or Maintenance: Load, speed, and infla-
tion practices causing excessive operational tem-
peratures to exceed the tire capabilities.
Tire damage (including irregular treadwear) or failure
resulting from: improper mounting or demounting,
damaged rim, wheel alignment, tire trueing, chain
damage, brakes or any similar mechanical problem,
extreme temperature exposure, misuse, negligence,
and abusive driving such as tire spinning, racing or
accident damage.
Tire failure resulting from intentional alterations: such
as adding a white inlay on a blackwall or sealant
materials.

WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY
●TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may
cause tire beads to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim, causing personal
injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber
Manufacturers Association installation and safety
procedure for mounting and inflating tires. Tire and
rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and
beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended
pressure to seat beads on rim. Use remote control
inflation equipment and inflation cage.
NOTE:
Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads. Mount
radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel
manufacturer as suitable for radial tire. Only spe-
cially trained persons shall mount tires.
●AIR PRESSURECheck the pressure in your tires, including your spare,
at least monthly, and always before and during ex-
tended driving. Check tires cold (at least 3 hours after
the vehicle has been stopped and before it is driven
more than 1.6 kilometers or 1 mile) . Do not reduce
pressure when tires are hot, use an accurate air pres-
sure gauge to check pressure and maintain it at the
level recommended on the vehicle tire placard or in the
Owner’s Manual. Underinflation produces extreme
flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Overinflation can
cause the tires to be more susceptible to impact dam-
age. Cold tire pressures, however, should never be
higher than the limit molded on the sidewall.
●LOAD LIMITS
Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto
the sidewall of your tires or the maximum vehicle load
limit as shown on the vehicle tire placard, whichever
is less. Overloading builds up excessive heat in the
tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
●HAZARDS
Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks,
curbs, metal, glass, etc.) which may possibly cause
internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has
suffered internal damage (which may not be exter-
nally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. De-
termination of suspected internal damage requires
demounting the tire from its rim and examination by
trained tire personnel.
(Continued on next page)
HANKOOK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 37
Page 43 of 82
●WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced
by trained personnel when 2/32nds inch (1.6mm) of
tread depth remain, as indicated by treadwear indi-
cators molded into the tread grooves. Use of worn-
out tires (less than 2/32nds of an inch remaining
tread depth) increases the probability of tire failure.
In most states, it is illegal to drive with less than
2/32nds of an inch of remaining tread depth.
●SPEED LIMITS
Operating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed
limits or the maximum speeds justified by driving
conditions can be dangerous. Excessive speed cre-
ates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire
failure.
●SPEED-RATED TIRES
Speed-rated tires are identified by letters S, T, H, V,
W, or Z as either part of the size designation (e.g.,
HR) , or part of the service description adjacent to the
size designation (e.g., 94H) and indicates the maxi-
mum speed capability of the tire when properly
loaded and inflated. However, even when properly
loaded and inflated, driving for prolonged periods at
high speeds can cause tire damage and possible tire
failure which could lead to an accident. Original
equipment speed-rated tires must be replaced with
tires of the same or higher speed rating if the speed
capability of the vehicle is to be maintained. Consult
your Hankook dealer for the tires best suited to your
vehicle driving habit. Repairing of speed-rated tires
must be done in accordance with RMA repair pro-
cedures and is limited to one 1/4 diameter repair in
the tread area.
●TIRE ROTATION
Rotate your tires for longer tire life. Front and rear
tires perform different jobs and can wear differently.

WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY
●TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may
cause tire beads to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim, causing personal
injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber
Manufacturers Association installation and safety
procedure for mounting and inflating tires. Tire and
rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and
beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended
pressure to seat beads on rim. Use remote control
inflation equipment and inflation cage.
NOTE:
Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads. Mount
radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel
manufacturer as suitable for radial tire. Only spe-
cially trained persons shall mount tires.
●AIR PRESSURECheck the pressure in your tires, including your spare,
at least monthly, and always before and during ex-
tended driving, when tires cold (at least 3 hours after
the vehicle has been stopped and before it is driven
more than 1 mile / 1.6 kilometers) . Do not reduce
pressure when tires are hot, use an accurate air pres-
sure gauge to check pressure and maintain it at the
level recommended on the vehicle tire placard or in the
Owner’s Manual. Underinflation produces extreme
flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Overinflation can
cause the tires ‘to be more susceptible to impact
damage. Cold tire pressures,” however, should never
be higher than the limit molded on the sidewall.
●LOAD LIMITS
Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto
the sidewall of your tires or the maximum vehicle load
limit as shown on the vehicle tire placard, whichever
is less. Overloading builds up excessive heat in the
tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
●HAZARDS
Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks,
curbs, metal, glass, etc.) which may possibly cause
internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has
suffered internal damage (which may not be exter-
nally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. De-
termination of suspected internal damage requires
demounting the tire from its rim and examination by
trained tire personnel.
●WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced
by trained personnel when 2/32nds inch (1.6mm) of
remaining tread depth, as indicated by treadwear
indicators molded into the tread grooves. Use of
worn-out tires (less than 2/32nds of an inch remain-
ing tread depth) increases the probability of tire
failure. In most states, it is illegal to drive with less
than 2/32nds of an inch of remaining tread depth.
●SPEED LIMITS
Operating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed
limits or the maximum speeds justified by driving
conditions can be dangerous. Excessive speed cre-
ates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire
failure.
