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 tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage
and/or serious personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/55 kph, as indicated on your speedometer. Use a gentle backward
and forward rocking motion to free your vehicle for continued driving.
Never stand near or behind a tire spinning at high speeds. For example,
while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck or when an on-the-car
spin balance machine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEAR
Always remove tires from service when they reach two thirty-seconds
of an inch (2/32") remaining tread depth. All new tires have treadwear
indicators which appear as smooth banks in the tread grooves when
they wear to the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") level. Many wet
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly bald tires.
Excessively worn tires are also more susceptible to penetrations.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for signs of
damage and their general condition is important for safety. If you
have any questions, have your tire Dealer inspect them. Impacts,
penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges or air loss always require tire
removal and expert inspection. Never perform a temporary repair
or use an innertube as a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified
persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR
NOTE: Goodyear does not warrant any inspection or repair process. The
repair is entirely the responsibility of the repairer and should be made
in accordance with established Rubber Manufacturers Association
(RMA) procedures.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury 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 recommends fitment of
four (4) tires of the same type and size unless otherwise specified by the
vehicle manufacturer.
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 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 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 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.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted
by Goodyear for any reason. Goodyear 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.

CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed to take up a minimum
of storage space and, at the same time, fulfi ll the function of a
spare tire when needed. The spare is kept in its storage space, fully
infl ated at 60 psi. To be sure it is always ready for use, the air pres-
sure should be checked on a regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in combination
with the original tires on your vehicle but, should never be used on
a vehicle with which it is not compatible, nor should more than one
such tire ever be placed on any vehicle at a given time. To conserve
tire tread life, return the spare to the storage area as soon as it is
convenient to have the standard tire repaired or replaced.
The wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary) Spare are
specifi cally designed for use with high pressure spares and should
never be used with any other type tire.
HOW TO READ A TIRE D.O.T. SERIAL NUMBER
D.O.T. stands for Department of Transportation and is on the lower
sidewall of each tire to show that the tire meets or exceeds the
Department of Transportation safety standards.

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.
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 tread wear.
