30 GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of any specific tire in chronological time since service conditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time is a function of the storage and service conditions (inflation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely solely on the appearance of the tire, but should be aware of any change in dynamic performance such as increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be a sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have tires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and treadwear. FOR SERVICE ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION, FIRST CONTACT THE NEAREST GOODYEAR OR DUNLOP RETAILER. For assistance in locating the nearest Goodyear or Dunlop Retailer, look in the Yellow Pages under Tire Dealers - New. Go to www.goodyear.com for U.S. or www. goodyear.ca for Canada. For Dunlop tires, go to www.dunloptires.com for U.S. & Canada. If additional assistance is required, call the Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-321-2136 for U.S. or 1-800-387-3288 for Canada.

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. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION OPERATIONAL MONITORING The information contained in this Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle. In order for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOnFlat [ROF]) or Dunlop Run-Flat (Dunlop Self- Supporting Technology [DSST]) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated within this Limited Warranty, Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tires must use specific parts, such as a low tire pressure monitoring system authorized by the Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SEE THE "BE 1) TIRE SMART/PLAY YOUR PART BROCHURE" PUBLISHED BY THE RUBBER MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (RMA). A COPY OF THIS BROCHURE CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE 2) RMA WEBSITE: www.rma.org/publications/consumer_tire_information You must go to an authorized Goodyear or Dunlop outlet for replacement tires and all warranty service. RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE: The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a highperformance tire with a remarkable feature: It can operate for limited distances with very low or even no inflation pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner's Manual for these limitations). This is an important benefit, especially if inflation loss occurs at a location where immediately stopping your vehicle could be hazardous. (Continued on next page) TIRE SERVICE LIFE Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that may result in removal from service before the tread is worn down to minimum depth.
