SAFETY INFORMATION
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
use as a result of punctures, impact damage, im-
proper inflation, overloading, or other conditions
resulting from use or misuse. Tire failure may create
a risk of serious personal injury or property damage.
To reduce risk of tire failure, we strongly recom-
mend you read and follow all safety information
contained in the Important Tire Safety Information
section contained in this booklet, the tire placard in
the vehicle or the Owner’s Manual.

B. You must pay for taxes and any additional servicesyou order at the time of adjustment plus any addi-
tional service that may be unique to your application,
e.g. Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
C. You must submit your claim on an approved claim form supplied by an authorized Goodyear or Dunlop
service facility. The form must be filled out com-
pletely and signed, where you the owner or your
authorized agent presented the tire for adjustment.
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
ASSEMBLIES COMPLETELY BEFORE
DEMOUNTING.
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 differ-
ent 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 clearance 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. Check inflation
pressures at least once a month and before long trips.
Use an accurate tire pressure gauge. Always check
pressures when the tires are cold (when the vehicle has
been driven less than one mile) . If you must check
inflation when the tires are hot, add 4 psi (27 kPa) to the
recommended cold inflation pressure. It is difficult to tell
just by looking at radial tires whether they are underin-
flated.*
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 should be
replaced when problems are detected and whenever
tires are replaced.

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.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an alert,
follow these safety precautions to prevent a loss of
vehicle control that could result in serious personal
injury or death:
●Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 kph) .
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe han-
dling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure,
your vehicle’s handling capability is reduced, particu-
larly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A
SYSTEM ALERT
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be driven at
low or zero air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for these limitations) . To help prolong the life of
a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive at a
speed as far below 50 mph (80 kph) as possible. Also,
drive the shortest distance possible before obtaining
tire service. Taking these precautions will increase the
chance that your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after operating under low-inflation
conditions, contact your Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat
service facility. Trained service personnel will inspect
your tires to determine if they are in need of repair or
replacement. To locate the nearest authorized Good-
year or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800-
GOODYEAR (1-800-466-3932) .
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Run-Flat tires,
the wheels on which they are mounted and your vehi-
cle’s tire pressure monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation maintenance and exter-
nal inspections must be performed by service personnel
at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility. Do not
attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires yourself;
serious injury or death could result. Only specially
trained persons should mount, demount and repair Run-
Flat tires, and more than 40 psi (270 kPa) may be
required to seat beads. A safety cage and clip-on ex-
tension air hose must be used if more than 40 psi
(270kPa) is needed to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop speed-rated, high-
performance tire, the Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire
may be repaired to correct a puncture in the tread, but
PROPER MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES MUST BE
USED. Contact a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service
facility for information on proper repairs. For the location
of the nearest facility, call 1-800-GOODYEAR (1-800-
466-3932) .
WARNING
Goodyear and Dunlop Run-Flat tires are designed for
use only on certain original equipment wheels s upplied
with a properly operating low tire pressure-monitoring
system. If applied to a vehicle without a properly oper-
ating low tire pressure-monitoring system, the tires may
fail when operated in an underinflated condition, result-
ing in loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury
or death. Application of these tires to a vehicle not
equipped with specified operational low tire pressure-
monitoring system constitutes improper and unsafe use
of this product.
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 31

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.

WHO IS COVERED
The owner of a Michelin Passenger or Light Truck tire
which bears the Michelin name and complete DOT
identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Michelin Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in nor-
mal service on the vehicle on which they were originally
fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recom-
mendations and safety warnings contained in the Own-
er’s Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Information
Section of this booklet, are covered by this limited
warranty against defects in 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 documented by
new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof
of purchase, coverage will be based on date of manu-
facture. Replacement will be made in accordance with
the terms and conditions described underWhat Mi-
chelin Will Do.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, or puncture, whether repairable or not);
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance,
or improper repair;
Misapplication, underinflation, overinflation, im-
proper maintenance, racing, or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechani-
cal irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalign-
ment (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire) resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
Ozone or weather cracking;Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake-
lock;
The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other

MICHELIN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTY
Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand
passenger tires, light truck tires and “T” Type temporary
spare tires mounted on vehicles as original equipment
for adjustable conditions as follows:
Important:In accordance with Federal Law, this war-
ranty has been designated as a “Limited Warranty.”
Nothing in this limited warranty is intended to be a
representation that tire failures cannot occur:
WHAT IS COVERED BY THE LIMITED
WARRANTY
Toyo brand passenger tires, light truck tires and full size
spare tires are warranted for adjustable conditions for
the new, original usable tread until worn down to the
tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining) or for 60 months from the date of purchase
(as verified by a copy of the original new vehicle pur-
chase invoice) , whichever comes first. In the event the
original new vehicle purchase invoice is unavailable, the
DOT serial number will be used to determine eligibility.
See “What Is Not Covered” listed below. Presence of a
manufacturing anomaly is not necessarily required to
qualify for adjustment. (1) When 25% or less of the original usable tread
of a radial tire has been worn, the tire will be
replaced with a comparable new Toyo tire free
of charge, including mounting and balancing.
The original usable tread is the original tread
down to the level of the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) . Ad-
justments for ride disturbances or vibration,
which cannot be corrected by balancing, are
only adjustable in the first 25% of usable tread
(a set of four tires will not be accepted for ride
disturbance) . Service charges or any applicable
taxes are payable by you.
(2) When more than 25% of the original usable tread of a radial tire has been worn, the user
must pay for the cost of a comparable new
Toyo replacement tire based on the amount of
tread used. This is calculated by dividing the
number of 32nds of an inch used by the origi-
nal usable tread depth and multiplying by the
actual current dealer selling price. The original
usable tread is the original tread down to the
level of the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of
an inch of tread remaining) . Service charges or
any applicable taxes are payable by you. (3) The tires must be used in normal highway ser-
vice on the vehicle they were originally installed,
used in non-commercial service and in accor-
dance with the maintenance recommendations
and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
“T” TYPE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
If an examination by Toyo shows that the “T” Type
temporary spare tire does not conform to this limited
warranty, it will be replaced with a comparable new Toyo
tire by an authorized Toyo dealer as follows:
(1) When 50% or less of the original usable tread has been worn, the tire will be replaced with a
comparable new Toyo tire free of charge.
Mounting and balancing, service charges or
any applicable taxes are payable by you.
(2) When more than 50% of the original usable tread has been worn, you must pay for the cost
of a comparable new Toyo replacement tire
based on the amount of tread used. Mounting
and balancing, service charges or any appli-
cable taxes are payable by you.
(Continued on next page)
TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 43

(3) Limited warranty duration is the life of the origi-nal usable tread (down to 2/32nds of an inch of
tread remaining) or for 60 months from the date
of purchase (as verified by a copy of the origi-
nal new vehicle purchase invoice) , whichever
comes first. In the event the original new ve-
hicle purchase invoice is unavailable, the DOT
serial number will be used to determine
eligibility.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE SAFETY
INFORMATION
The spare tire your car is equipped with may be of a
different size and construction from the other tires on
your vehicle. When using any temporary type spare tire,
be sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. FAILURE TO OBSERVE RECOMMENDED PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD LEAD TO ERRATIC VEHICLE BE-
HAVIOR AND/OR TIRE DAMAGE POSSIBLY
RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
(1) A “T” Type temporary spare tire is designed for temporary use only. It must not be used as a
standard tire continuously. The temporary
spare tire should be returned to the trunk as
soon as it is convenient to have your standard
tire repaired or replaced.
(2) “T” Type temporary spare tires should NOT BE used for speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour.
(3) NEVER use chains on “T” Type temporary spare tires because it could cause damage to
your vehicle. (4) When you replace the temporary spare tire,
replace it only with the same type of tire.
(5) Check inflation pressure before use. Failure to have proper inflation pressure when using your
spare tire can result in serious personal injury
or death. Maintain inflation pressure of 35 psi
for the temporary full size spare and 60 psi for
the “T” Type, high pressure, temporary spare
tire. When inflating or adding air to a “T” Type
temporary spare tire, be very careful since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure much
more rapidly than a normal full size tire.
(6) Placing (mounting) your temporary use tire on a wheel which is not specifically designed for
use with the temporary use tire or placing an-
other type tire on your temporary use wheel
can be dangerous. Your vehicle’s handling
characteristics can be seriously affected. You
could have an accident resulting in serious
personal injury or death. Consult your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for proper use of your “tem-
porary use” spare tire.
(7) The “T” Type high pressure temporary spare tire should not be used with any other wheel
nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used on the high pres-
sure spare tire wheel. (8) Do not operate your vehicle with more than
one temporary spare in use (this does not ap-
ply to a full size spare) and only at limited
speeds and distances as indicated on the
sidewall of the tire.
(9) The “T” Type temporary spare tire may lower ground clearance when used. Avoid driving
over large obstacles and other road hazards.
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual for other
special clearance precautions when using the
“T” Type temporary spare tire provided in your
vehicle.
(10) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
