28 GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY pressure 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 adjusted to avoid overloading the tire. Consult the Tire & Rim Association Load and Inflation Tables, ETRTO or JATMA standards for correct load and inflation information. Never mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fitting snow 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. 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 consult Dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire clearances. 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 Dunlop 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 consult the vehicle owner's manual and follow the vehicle manufacturer's replacement tire recommendations. Vehicle 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 inflation 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. RETREADED TIRES Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted by Goodyear and Dunlop for any reason. Goodyear 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 recommendations or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
