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 recommends 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
from the Original Equipment size, see a professional installer in order to
make certain that proper clearance, load-carrying capacity and inflation
pressure are 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 aggressive 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 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.
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.

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 treadwear.
Check your vehicle's owner's manual (or your vehicle) to determine if
it is equipped with run-flat (extended mobility) tires. If your vehicle is
equipped with run-flat tires, the following applies:
RUN-FLAT TECHNOLOGY EXTENDED MOBILITY TECHNOLOGY
(EMT

(ROF)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
In order for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Technology [EMT],
RunOnFlat [ROF]) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated within
this Limited Warranty, Goodyear tires must use specific parts, such as a
low tire pressure-monitoring system authorized by the Original Equipment
vehicle manufacturer.
Vehicles that are equipped Original Equipment with Goodyear Run-Flat
tires must be fitted with wheels, tires and tire pressure-monitoring
systems as specified by your vehicle manufacturer. For proper wheel, tire
and TPMS fitment, please refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire with a remarkable
feature: It can operate for limited distances (driven 50 miles [80 km]
maximum at speeds up to 50 mph [80 kph]) with very low or even no
inflation pressure. This is an important benefit, especially if inflation
loss occurs at a location where immediately stopping your vehicle could
be hazardous.
Because these tires ride well even without air pressure, your vehicle
must be equipped with a system to alert you when a tire has low or no
air pressure.
TIRE PRESSURE-MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more information on what to do if
the tire pressure warning system activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an alert, follow these safety
precautions to prevent a loss of vehicle control that could result in serious
personal injury or death:
• Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 kph).
• Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe handling maneuvers.
• Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure, your vehicle’s
handling capability is reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM ALERT
The Goodyear Run-Flat tires can be driven up to 50 miles (80 km) at
sustained speeds of up to 50 mph (80 kph) at low or zero air pressure.
However, the tire may have to be replaced if driven to these limits. 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 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 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
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 (270kPa) is needed to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear speed-rated, high-performance tire, the Goodyear
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
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 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.
