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
Goodyear 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 vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring
system, all tire service work other than routine inflation maintenance
and external 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
extension air hose must be used if more than 40 psi (270 kPa) is need
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 supplied with a properly operating
low tire pressure-monitoring system. If applied to a vehicle without a
properly operating low tire pressure-monitoring system, the tires may
fail when operated in an underinflated condition, resulting 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.
