(Proof of Purchase and Purchase Date are required) ,
whichever occurs fi rst.
During the free replacement period, mounting and balancing
are included free of charge.
After the free replacement period, to determine the

multiplied by the owner-user’s regular buying price. Taxes,
mounting, balancing, and other service charges will be
added to the adjustment replacement price.
IN CANADA, the tire will be adjusted at dealerships
(subject always to dealer discretion) at a predetermined
“Adjustment Price”.

personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/60 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 speed as, 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.
SIDEWALL TREATMENTSDunlop sidewalls are specially compounded to resist ozone
cracking or weather-cracking.
Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping
or lettering, and rinse off with plain water. Instruct service
per-sonnel and customers never to apply any other material
to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade rubber
and remove inherent ozone resistance.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent 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 innertube as a substitute for a
proper repair. Only qualifi ed persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIRNOTE: Dunlop 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.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT
YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury may result from explosion of tire/rim
assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow
tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter
to rim 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, Dunlop recommends
fi tment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless
otherwise specifi ed by the vehicle manufacturer.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES:
Fit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radials must
be fi tted to the same vehicle, fi t radials on rear axle. Never
mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fi tting
snow tires or all-season tires to performance vehicles,
always fi t in sets for four. Do not fi t tires with different
speed ratings.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always consult
dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire
clearances.
RETREADED TIRESRetreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted
by Dunlop for any reason. Dunlop speed ratings and U.S.
Department of Transportation test compliance certifi cations
are voided for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinfl ation/over-
infl ation, wheel imbalance, and misalignment can cause
vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires according
to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations or at
maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
LIGHTWEIGHT TEMPORARY
SPARE TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight
temporary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
• Check the infl ation pressure before using and at least
weekly. Maintain cold tire pressure in accordance with
that molded on the tire sidewall or found in your vehicle
owner’s manual. When infl ating or adding air to light-
weight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave
valve core in place and add infl ation air in short bursts.
Check the pressure often with an in-line or hand gauge
until the specifi ed pressure is reached.
• The lightweight temporary spare tire may lower ground
clear-ance when used. Reduce speed and avoid driving
over large obstacles or through chuckholes and other
road hazards.
• Check your car owner’s manual for other special
clearance precautions when using the lightweight
