WARNING:

Vehicle handling, traction, ride comfort and other

performance parameters may be significantly affected by a

change in tire size or type. Before replacing tires, always consult and
follow the vehicle owner’s manual because some vehicle manufacturers
prohibit changing tire size. When selecting tires that are different from
the original equipment size make certain: (1) The tires have adequate
load-carrying capacity based on the vehicle placard, (2) The tires have
sufficient inflation pressure to carry the load and (3) There is proper
clearance with no interference points between the tire and vehicle. The
consumer must be aware to always drive safely and obey all traffic
laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or aggressive lane changes. Failure to
follow any of these warnings may result in loss of control of the
vehicle, leading to an accident and serious injury or death.

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.

RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:

The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a high-performance 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.
