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

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 terminated. 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, coverage will be based on date of
manufacture.WHAT IS NOT COVEREDTires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture, whether repairable or not);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or
improper repair;
• Underinflation, overinflation, improper maintenance or other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a compa-
rable new Michelin 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 balanc-
ing of tires is included. The cost of any other service
charges or applicable taxes are payable by the user.

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTY
Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand pas-
senger tires and light truck tires mounted on vehicles as
original equipment for adjustable conditions as follows:
1. What is covered by the warranty:
Toyo brand passenger and light truck tires are war-
ranted for adjustable conditions other than those listed
under “What Is Not Covered” for the new original
usable tread down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nd"
tread remaining) or for 60 months from the date of
manufacture, whichever comes first. The DOT serial
number on the sidewall of the tire will be used to
determine date of manufacture. This time limit does not
apply to Toyo temporary spare tires. Presence of a
manufacturing anomaly is not necessarily required to
qualify for adjustment. (A) When less than 25% of the original usable tread of
a radial tire, or less than 50% of the original usable
tread of a temporary spare tire has been worn, the
tire will be replaced with a new Toyo tire free of
charge, including mounting and balancing. (Adjust-
ments for ride disturbances or vibration, which can-
not be corrected by balancing are only adjustable in
the first 25% of usable tread.) Service charges or
any applicable taxes are payable by you.
(B) When more than 25% of the original usable tread
of a radial tire, or more than 50% of the original
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been
worn the user must pay for the cost of a replace-
ment tire based on the amount of tread used. This is calculated by dividing the number of 32nds of an
inch used by the original usable tread depth and
multiplying by the actual current dealer selling
price. Service charges or any applicable taxes are
payable by you.
2. What is not covered by the warranty: (A) Mileage is not warranted.
(B) Damage due to road hazards whether repairable or not (such as cuts, snags, bruises, impact or punc-
tures, improper tire chains) .
(C) Irregular tread wear or rapid tread wear due to failure to rotate the tires at recommended intervals,
or from vehicle misalignment.
(D) Damage resulting from improper repair materials or procedures.
(E) Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incorrect wheel size, or failure to balance
the tires.
(F) Damage or uneven tread wear from incorrect infla- tion, overloading, fire, theft, defective mechanical
conditions such as brakes, shocks, rims, wreck or
collision, and willful damage or abuse.
(G) Damage, corrosion, or rubber deterioration due to the use of oil-based chemicals, water-based seal-
ers, balancing substances, or flammable gases.
(H) Ride, balance, or vibration complaints after the first 25% of tread wear.
(I) Minor surface blemishes due to weathering and normal wear and tear which do not affect the
serviceability of the tire. (J) Any tire which has been run to destruction while flat.
(K) Tires used in commercial service.
(L) Claims after 5 years from the date the tire was
manufactured.
(M) Tires on vehicles normally operated outside the United States.
(N) Claims made by anyone other than the original retail purchaser of the vehicle.
(O) Tires with the D.O.T. identification number removed or rendered illegible, or branded "used".
(P) Any claim where the tire is not presented and available for Toyo's inspection.
(Q) Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records are not available or verifiable.
(R) Any tires worn beyond the wear bars (less than 2/ 32" remaining tread) .
(S) Temporary spare tires used at speeds over 50 miles per hour.
(T) Dealer service charges are not covered for routine or required maintenance of the tires such as align-
ments or rotation.
CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:
(1) Tires must be rotated every 7,500 miles or sooner if upon inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is begin-
ning to appear. Keep a record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recommended air

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION!
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, can fail as a result
of punctures, impact damage, improper inflation or other
conditions resulting from use. Tire failures may create a risk
of property damage or personal injury. To reduce the risk
of tire failure, we strongly recommend the following:
WARNING!
SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT FROM:
1. Tire failure due to underinflation, vehicle overload- ing, or use in excess of legal speeds – follow
owner’s manual or tire information placard in your
vehicle.
2. Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting – only specially trained persons should
mount tires.
Refer to Important Tire Safety Information and instruc-
tions contained in this booklet, the tire placard in the
vehicle or the Owner’s Manual.

pressure in the tires according to Nissan’s recom-
mendation.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s alignment in accordance with Nissan’s specifications.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be exceeded.
(5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not be exceeded.
TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY
In the event that you make a claim under the terms of the
warranty, you must:
(1) Present your tires, and your vehicle to an authorized
Toyo Dealer. (Call consumer relations at
(800) 442-8696 or check dealer locator at http://
www.toyo.com for the nearest dealer location.)
(2) Complete and sign the Toyo Standard Claim form provided by the dealer and leave the tire with the dealer
for warranty processing.
NOTE: For your convenience, your nearest authorized Nissan Dealership will also assist you with your tire
service requirements or in obtaining tire warranty
service from the tire manufacturer.
The consumer is entitled to an adjustment in accordance
with the warranty that was in effect when the tire was
installed on the vehicle as original equipment. The adjust-
ment policy provides for replacement with a comparable
new Toyo tire if a Toyo tire becomes unserviceable due to
an adjustable condition verified by Toyo’s inspection of the
tire. Free replacement or a pro-rated charge depends on the remaining usable tread when the tire is presented for
adjustment.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
This warranty is limited to the 50 United States, and the
District of Columbia. All implied warranties, including
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular pur-
pose are expressly limited to the duration of this warranty.
All obligations or liabilities for incidental or consequential
damages are hereby excluded (such as loss of time, loss of
use of vehicle, towing charges or road service or inconve-
nience) . Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limita-
tions or exclusions may not apply to you. No Toyo em-
ployee,
representative or dealer has the authority to make
or imply any representation, promise or agreement which in
any way varies the terms of this warranty. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
Important: In accordance with Federal Law, this warranty
has been designated as a “Limited Warranty”.
Nothing in this warranty is intended to be a
representation that tire failures cannot occur.

33
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to
improper maintenance or service factors. This could create
a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury.
Disregarding any of the safety precautions and instructions
contained in this manual may result in tire failure or explo-
sion causing serious personal injury or death. For your
safety, comply with the following:
TIRE INFLATIONKeep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on the
tire data placard. (See your OWNER’S MANUAL for
location.) These inflation pressures must be maintained as
a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pres-
sure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper
vehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire
wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle control and
serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation pressures
should be checked at least once a month and always prior
to long distance trips.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The tires
are cold when your vehicle has been driven less than a mile
at moderate speed after being stopped for three or more
hours.
CHECKING PRESSURE WHEN
TIRES ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four pounds
per square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recommended
cold air pressure. Recheck the inflation pressure when the
tire is cold.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psi
If recommended pressure is: 30psi
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by the
next day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire will be
underinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pres-
sures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE
CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.
For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will
be provided by your tire dealer, if not, refer to the vehicle
decal.
Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the sidewalls
and builds up heat which may result in sudden tire destruc-
tion and serious personal injury. Overinflation can cause
the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
LOAD LIMITS
DO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVER-
LOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS. Never load your tires
beyond the load carrying limits molded into the sidewall of
the tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the
vehicle tire data placard, whichever is less. Overloading causes heat to build up which can lead to sudden tire
failure and serious personal injury.
SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED
TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Never
operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or the
maximum speeds justified by the driving conditions. Exces-
sive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a tire
leading to possible failure and serious personal injury.
Correct inflation pressure is especially important.
However, at high speeds, even with the correct inflation
pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater chance of
causing tire damage than at the lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to
avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If you
see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with your spare
tire and see your tire dealer at once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is
rated. In addition, some damages or improper repairs
may cause a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating.
Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating will cause
the tire to build up excessive heat which can cause tire
damage that could result in sudden tire destruction and
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle with sudden air
loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal
limits and driving conditions.

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
(Continued on page 34)

36
HARD BRAKINGYou must inspect your tires after any hard braking circum-
stances or after tires have slid on the pavement. This can
cause a flat spot in a section of the tire tread.
TIRE SPINNINGNever spin your tires above a speedometer reading of 35
mph (55 km/h) if your vehicle becomes stuck. The centrifu-
gal force generated by the free spinning tire/wheel assem-
bly may cause a sudden tire explosion, resulting in vehicle
damage and/or serious personal injury or death. Never
allow anyone to stand near or behind a tire spinning at high
speed while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions,
do not indulge in excessive wheel spin. In such conditions,
with automatic transmission vehicles, by accelerating the
engine excessively, it is possible to spin one of the drive
tires beyond its speed capability. This is also true when
balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly using the engine of
the vehicle to spin the wheel.
TIRE TREADTires must be replaced when the depth of the tread
reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). Tires are manufactured with
tread wear indicators molded into the tire grooves which
indicate tread wearout. As tires approximate 2/32 inch (1.6
mm) wearout, the tread gauge becomes thinner and more
vulnerable to the effects of road hazards. Also, worn tires
are more subject to hydroplaning, which can cause loss of
control. Therefore, visual tire inspection becomes more
crucial as the tires wear out.
WORN TIRESNever drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by
trained personnel when 2/32nds of an inch tread depth
remains, as indicated by the tread wear indicators molded
into the tread grooves. In most states, it is illegal to drive
with less than 2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining.
TIRE MIXINGFor best performance select tires similar in size and load
rating to the original equipment tires. It is recommended
that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel
positions. In certain tires, casing ply material and ply
construction may vary as indicated on the sidewall of the
tire. When changing or replacing tires, it is preferred that
all four tires are the same construction type (i.e., High
Performance, All Season, Mud & Snow) and construction
(Radial or Bias Ply). Before mixing tires of different types on
a vehicle in any configuration, be sure to check the vehicle
owner’s manual for its recommendations.
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer's Association
(RMA) definition of mud and snow tires are marked M/S,
M+S, M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded into
the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recom-
mended for mud and/or snow driving.
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires
equivalent in size and load rating to the original equipment
tires. Always fit performance snow tires in sets of four (4)
for optimum mud & snow traction and maintenance of
vehicle handling characteristics. If you do not, it may
adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. It
is also important to check the vehicle owner’s manual
before mixing or matching tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles
as this may require special precautions. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information
on tire replacement precautions.
TIRE ROTATION
Tires on your Nissan vehicle should be rotated every
7,500 miles or as irregular wear develops. If irregular
wear becomes apparent or if the wear rate on the tires
is perceptibly uneven, the tires should be rotated in
such a way to alleviate the problem. Check your vehicle
for any mechanical problems and correct if necessary.
Any rotation pattern or procedure may be followed
including those indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Some
tires have arrows on the sidewall showing the direction
in which the tire should turn. When rotating this type of
tire, care must be taken to maintain the proper turning
direction as indicated by the arrows.
Some vehicles
have different tire sizes specified for front and rear
axles. Tires on these vehicles should not be rotated
side to side (unless they are directional). Where a
temporary type spare tire is available, it should not be
included in the tire rotation schedule. Such tires are
intended for temporary use only. Whenever only two
tires are replaced, the new tires should be put on the
rear axle of vehicles equipped with the same size tire
on all four wheel positions .
