User Guide

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.
NOTE: Goodyear-manufactured and/or marketed European-Metric
and P-Metric passenger tires are interchangeable as long as they
have the same section width, same aspect ratio and same rim
diameter. Caution: Never substitute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire
for an "Extra Load" (XL) or "Reinforced" tire. If the vehicle was
originally equipped with “Extra Load” (XL) or "Reinforced" tires,
replace those tires with
similar-sized "Extra Load" (XL) or "Reinforced" tires.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the deepest tread
depth on the 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 winter 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.
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. 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.

HOW TO READ A TIRE D.O.T. SERIAL NUMBER

on the lower sidewall of each tire to show that the tire meets or
exceeds the Department of Transportation safety standards.
