This limited warranty does not cover the following:Tires submitted for ride disturbance complaints that
are worn beyond the first two thirty-seconds of an
inch (2/32”) tread depth or 6 months from date of
new vehicle purchase, whichever occurs first, or
tires submitted for ride disturbance due to damaged
wheels or any vehicle condition.
Goodyear & Dunlop do not warrant or give credit in
any adjustment transaction for any kind of material
added to a tire (e.g., tire fillers, sealants, balancing

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 Manufacturer’s 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.
When mounting tires, use safety cage and clip-on
extension air hose to inflate.
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 different
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 clear-
ance 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 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. To maintain
proper inflation pressure, frequently (at least monthly)
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 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,
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, (3) leak-
ing valve core or rubber valve components. These
should be replaced when problems are detected and
whenever tires are replaced.

DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR
OWN TIRES
Serious injury or Death may result from explosion of tire/
rim assembly due to improper mounting procedures.
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 and Dun-
lop recommend 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
than the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load carrying capacity and inflation pressure is selected.
Never exceed the maximum load capacity and inflationpressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Always drive
safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp
turns or lane changes. Failure to follow 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.
In other cases, tires of the same size may carry different
load indexes in the service description. You must make
certain the replacement tires fitted to the vehicle have a
load carrying capacity equal to or greater than what the
Original Equipment manufacturer specifies.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES
Fit newest tires on 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 snow tires or all-season tires to perfor-
mance 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. It
is also recommended that the lower speed rated tires
be placed on the front axle regardless of which axle is
driven to help prevent potential oversteer.
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 and Dunlop for any reason. Good-
year and Dunlop speed ratings and U.S. Department of
Transportation test compliance certifications 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.
