ELIGIBILITYYou are eligible for the benefits of this policy if you are theowner or authorized agent of the owner of new Goodyearhighway auto and light truck tires bearing Department ofTransportation prescribed tire identification numbers, andif your tires have been used only on the vehicle on whichthey were originally installed according to the vehiclemanufacturer’s recommendations.

COVERAGE (REPLACEMENT FREE)Any new Goodyear highway radial auto tire or radial lighttruck tire, except Unisteel radial light truck tires, covered bythis policy, that does not deliver satisfactory highwayservice due to a workmanship or material related condition(see Adjustment Policy Limitations) during the first 25% ofusable treadwear, or twelve months from date of purchase,whichever comes first, will be replaced with a comparablenew Goodyear tire without charge. Mounting and balanc-ing are included.

Any Goodyear temporary spare tire that does not deliversatisfactory highway service due to a workmanship ormaterial related condition during the first 50% of usabletread depth (1/32 of an inch) will be replaced with acomparable new Goodyear temporary spare tire withoutcharge. Mounting is included. After the first 50% of usabletreadwear, you pay only an adjustment charge for thetreadwear received, plus any mounting charge.

COVERAGE (PRORATED ADJUSTMENT)Tires not eligible for no charge adjustment that do notdeliver satisfactory service due to a workmanship or mate-rial related condition will be replaced with comparable newGoodyear tires on a pro rata basis. The replacement pricewill be calculated by multiplying the current Goodyear“predetermined price for adjustment” or current advertisedprice at adjustment location (whichever is lower) by thepercentage of usable original tread that has been worn offat the time of the adjustment. You pay for mounting,balancing, and an amount equal to the full current FederalExcise Tax applicable to the comparable new replacementtire.

The “predetermined price for adjustment,” available at allGoodyear Auto Service Centers and participating dealers,fairly represents the actual regular retail selling price of thecomparable tire at the time of adjustment. If a “predeter-mined price for adjustment” is not available, adjustment willbe based on the price at which you are entitled to buy at thetime of adjustment.

A tire has delivered its full original tread life and thiswarranty ends when the treadwear indicators becomevisible, regardless of age or mileage.

DEFINITION OF COMPARABLE TIREA “comparable” new Goodyear tire may either be the sameline of tire or, in the event the disabled tire is out ofproduction, the same basic construction and quality withdifferent sidewall or tread configuration.

If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, thedifference in price will be additional.

Any tire replacement under this warranty will be covered bythe Goodyear warranty in effect at time of replacement.

ADJUSTMENT POLICY LIMITATIONSThis limited warranty is applicable only in the United Statesand Canada.

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTIES

33Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due toimproper maintenance or service factors. This could createa risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury.Disregarding any of the safety precautions and instructionscontained in this manual may result in tire failure or explo-sion causing serious personal injury or death. For yoursafety, comply with the following:

TIRE INFLATIONKeep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on thetire data placard. (See your OWNER’S MANUAL forlocation.) These inflation pressures must be maintained asa minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pres-sure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.

CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES,INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, ATLEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING.Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in impropervehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tirewear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle control andserious personal injury. Therefore, inflation pressuresshould be checked at least once a month and always priorto long distance trips.

Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The tiresare cold when your vehicle has been driven less than a mileat moderate speed after being stopped for three or morehours.

CHECKING PRESSURE WHENTIRES ARE HOTIf you must add air when your tires are hot, add four poundsper square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recommendedcold air pressure. Recheck the inflation pressure when thetire is cold.

For Example Only:

Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psiIf recommended pressure is: 30psiDesired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi

Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by thenext day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire will beunderinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pres-sures. Never allow children to air up tires.

DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THECORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressurewill be provided by your tire dealer, if not, refer to thevehicle decal.

Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the sidewallsand builds up heat which may result in sudden tire destruc-tion and serious personal injury. Overinflation can causethe tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.

LOAD LIMITSDO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVER-LOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS. Never load your tiresbeyond the load carrying limits molded into the sidewall ofthe tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on thevehicle tire data placard, whichever is less. Overloading

causes heat to build up which can lead to sudden tirefailure and serious personal injury.

SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATEDTIRESHIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS. Neveroperate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or themaximum speeds justified by the driving conditions. Exces-sive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a tireleading to possible failure and serious personal injury.

Correct inflation pressure is especially important.However, at high speeds, even with the correct inflationpressure, a road hazard, for example, is more difficult toavoid and if contact is made, there is a greater chance ofcausing tire damage than at the lower speed. Moreover,driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available toavoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If yousee any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with your sparetire and see your tire dealer at once.

Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can besafely driven at the maximum speed for which the tireis rated. In addition, some damages or improper repairsmay cause a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating.Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating will causethe tire to build up excessive heat which can cause tiredamage that could result in sudden tire destructionand rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle withsudden air loss can lead to an accident. In any case,you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicatedby the legal limits and driving conditions.

*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speedcapacity of greater than 149 mph (240 km/h). Con-sult your tire manufacturer for maximum speed ratings ifyour vehicle capability exceeds this speed.

**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed for use on carswith maximum speed capabilities in excess of 149mph (240 km/h). Consult your tire manufacturer formaximum speed capabilities.†Although a tire may be speed rated, we do not endorse theoperation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner.

Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests which relateto performance on the road, but are not applicable if tiresare underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged, al-tered, improperly repaired, or retreaded. Furthermore, tirespeed ratings do not imply that vehicles can be safelydriven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated,particularly under adverse road and weather conditions orif the vehicle has unusual characteristics. Most highwaypassenger tires that do not have a speed symbol in thesidewall have a maximum speed rating of 105 mph. Lighttruck highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on thesidewall of the tire have a maximum speed of 87 mph.Some light truck tires may have higher maximum speeds;consult your tire dealer. The speed and other ratings ofretreaded tires are assigned by the retreader and voids theoriginal manufacturer’s ratings.

IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the speed capability ofthe vehicle, replacement tires must have speed ratingsequal to or higher than those fitted as original equipment(as indicated on the vehicle placard or owners manual). Iftires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the speed capabil-ity of the vehicle will be lowered to the maximum speedcapability of the replacement tire as indicated on the abovetable.Remember...High speed driving can be dangerous andmay be damaging to your tires.And...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflationpressure is especially important.

Contact the manufacturer of your tires for their positionand assistance on the repair of speed-rated tires. Whenyou are replacing tires that have a speed rating, you mustreplace with tires of the same or higher speed rating if thespeed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.

VISUAL INSPECTIONINSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON ADAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL. Check your tires fre-quently for scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags,cracks, penetrations or excessive localized wear fromhard braking. Also check for abnormal tire wear, par-ticularly on the edges of the tire tread which may becaused by misalignment or underinflation. Impacts candamage the inner portion of the tire without beingvisible on the outside. If damage can be seen on thetires or wheels, or if you suspect that possible impactdamage may have occurred, replace with spare at onceand have your tire store or dealer inspect your tiresimmediately. Use of a damaged tire could result in tiredestruction. When inspecting your tires, including thespare, check your air pressures. If your pressure checkindicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of twopounds or more, look for signs of penetrations, valveleakage, or wheel damage that may account for the airloss.

All tires will wear out faster when subjected to highspeeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, suddenstops, frequent driving on roads which are in poorcondition, and off-road use. Roads with holes androcks or other objects can damage tires and causemisalignment of your vehicle. When you drive on suchroads, drive on them carefully and slowly, and beforedriving again at normal or highway speeds, examineyour tires for any damage, such as cuts, bulges, pen-etrations, unusual wear patterns, etc.




35TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS): Tirescontain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the groovesof the tire tread which show up when only2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is remaining.At this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tiresworn beyond this stage are dangerous.

HAZARDSObjects in the road that threaten a tire should be safelyavoided. These objects are potholes, glass, metal, rocks,wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact shouldprompt a thorough tire inspection.You may not always recall hitting an object that candamage or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicleexperiences any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance ornoise and/or you suspect that possible damage to the tiresor vehicle has occurred. DO NOT JAM OR LOCKYOUR BRAKES! Rather reduce your speed and drivewith caution until you can safely pull off the road.Stop and inspect the tires. If the tire is underinflatedor damaged, deflate, remove the tire and rimassembly and replace it with your spare. If youcannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed tothe nearest vehicle or tire dealer to have the vehicleinspected.

REPAIRING, MOUNTING ANDDEMOUNTING OF TIRESDo not attempt to repair, mount or demount a tireyourself. Tire changing can be dangerous and must bedone by professionally trained persons using proper toolsand procedures as specified by the Rubber ManufacturersAssociation (RMA). Follow these mounting recom-mendations. Your tires should be mounted on wheels of

correct size and type and which are in good, cleancondition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels maycause tire damage. The inside of the tire must befree from foreign materials. Have your dealer checkthe wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatchedtires and rims can explode during mounting. Also,mismatched tires and rims can result in dangeroustire failure on the road. If a tire is mounted by erroron the wrong-sized rim, do not remount it on theproper rim - scrap it. It may be damaged internally(which is not externally visible) by being danger-ously stretched and could fail on the highway.

Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires aremounted, have new valves of the correct type installed.Tubeless tires must be mounted only on wheels de-signed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels which have safetyhumps or ledges.

Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube orinject sealant as a permanent substitute for a properrepair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.

Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. Thiswill keep valve cores clean and clear and guard againstleakage.

REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIREDEALER AT ONCE. Some tire manufacturers do notwarrant any inspection or repair process. The repair isentirely the responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in thetread of a passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of aninch (6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by followingthe Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) Passengerand Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact the manufac-turer of your tires for its position and assistance as to theacceptable location for a proper repair and the repair of

speed rated tires. Do not use plug repairs. They maycause further damage to the tire. They are notalways air tight and the plug may fail. Do not exceedposted speed limits on any repaired tire. Certain tiremanufacturers speed ratings are voided if the tire isrepaired.

Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structuraldamage resulting from the puncture may have occurred.Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to beremoved from service.

If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4inch (6mm), the tire must be replaced. If any tire hassustained a puncture, have the tire inspected internally bya tire dealer for possible damage that may have occurred.

Improper mounting and inflation procedures can cause anexplosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially trainedpersons should perform these tasks. Contact your tirestore or dealer for assistance.

CAUTION - Never, under any circumstance, intro-duce a flammable substance into a tire.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCINGWheel alignment and balancing are important for safetyand maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your tiresare wearing at least once a month. If your tires are wearingunevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire wearingfaster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessivevibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance.These conditions not only shorten the life of your tires, butadversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehiclewhich could be dangerous. If you detect irregular wear orvibration, have your alignment and balance checked imme-diately. Tires which have been run underinflated will showmore wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread.




36HARD BRAKINGYou must inspect your tires after any hard brakingcircumstances or after tires have slid on the pave-ment. This can cause a flat spot in a section of thetire tread.

TIRE SPINNINGNever spin your tires above a speedometer reading of 35mph (55 km/h) if your vehicle becomes stuck. The centrifu-gal force generated by the free spinning tire/wheel assem-bly may cause a sudden tire explosion, resulting in vehicledamage and/or serious personal injury or death. Neverallow anyone to stand near or behind a tire spinning at highspeed while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck.When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions,do not indulge in excessive wheel spin. In such conditions,with automatic transmission vehicles, by accelerating theengine excessively, it is possible to spin one of the drivetires beyond its speed capability. This is also true whenbalancing a drive tire/wheel assembly using the engine ofthe vehicle to spin the wheel.

TIRE TREADTires must be replaced when the depth of the treadreaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). Tires are manufactured withtread wear indicators molded into the tire grooves whichindicate tread wearout. As tires approximate 2/32 inch (1.6mm) wearout, the tread gauge becomes thinner and morevulnerable to the effects of road hazards. Also, worn tiresare more subject to hydroplaning, which can cause loss ofcontrol. Therefore, visual tire inspection becomes morecrucial as the tires wear out.

WORN TIRESNever drive on worn tires. Tires should be replacedby trained personnel when 2/32nds of an inch treaddepth remains, as indicated by the tread wearindicators molded into the tread grooves. In moststates, it is illegal to drive with less than 2/32ndsof an inch of tread remaining.

TIRE MIXINGFor best performance select tires similar in size and loadrating to the original equipment tires. It is recommendedthat the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheelpositions. In certain tires, casing ply material and plyconstruction may vary as indicated on the sidewall of thetire. When changing or replacing tires, it is preferred thatall four tires are the same construction type (i.e., HighPerformance, All Season, Mud & Snow) and construction(Radial or Bias Ply). Before mixing tires of different types ona vehicle in any configuration, be sure to check the vehicleowner’s manual for its recommendations.Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer's Association(RMA) definition of mud and snow tires are marked M/S,M+S, M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded intothe sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recom-mended for mud and/or snow driving.

If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tiresequivalent in size and load rating to the original equipmenttires. Always fit performance snow tires in sets of four (4)for optimum mud & snow traction and maintenance ofvehicle handling characteristics. If you do not, it mayadversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. Itis also important to check the vehicle owner’s manual

before mixing or matching tires on 4-wheel drive vehiclesas this may require special precautions.

Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more informationon tire replacement precautions.

TIRE ROTATIONTires on your Nissan vehicle should be rotatedevery 7,500 miles or as irregular wear develops.If irregular wear becomes apparent or if the wearrate on the tires is perceptibly uneven, the tiresshould be rotated in such a way to alleviate theproblem. Check your vehicle for any mechanicalproblems and correct if necessary. Any rotationpattern or procedure may be followed includingthose indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Sometires have arrows on the sidewall showing thedirection in which the tire should turn. Whenrotating this type of tire, care must be taken tomaintain the proper turning direction as indi-cated by the arrows. Some vehicles have differ-ent tire sizes specified for front and rear axles.Tires on these vehicles should not be rotatedside to side (unless they are directional). Wherea temporary type spare tire is available, it shouldnot be included in the tire rotation schedule.Such tires are intended for temporary use only.Whenever only two tires are replaced, the newtires should be put on the rear axle of vehiclesequipped with the same size tire on all fourwheel positions.




37TRAILER TOWINGIf you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealerfor advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure.Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size ofthe trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must themaximum cold inflation pressure or the tire load rating beexceeded. Check the tire decal and your Owner’s Manualfor further recommendations on trailer towing.

TIRE ALTERATIONSDo not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterationsmay prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage,which can result in an accident. Tires which becomeunserviceable due to alterations such as truing, whitewallinlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, may beexcluded from warranty coverage. Consult your tire war-ranty.

HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARETIRES1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan ve-

hicle is designed for temporary use only and mustnot be used continually as a regular tire. Thestandard tire should be repaired and/or replacedas soon as possible.

2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tirethrough impact or cutting, such as potholes, glass,metal, etc.

3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-speed-rated temporary spare tires.

4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife whichcan vary depending on road conditions and yourdriving habits. The spare tire should be returned to thetrunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired orreplaced.

5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was specificallydesigned for your car, it should not be used on anyother vehicle.

6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare.This could cause damage to your vehicle.

7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly andmaintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2) even when not in use.

8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used withany other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers,or trim rings be used on the high-pressure spare tirerim which was originally installed.

9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire,replace it only with the same type spare tire.

10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a temporaryspare tire fitted.

11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakessuddenly when driving on a high-pressure tempo-rary spare.

Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, besure to follow the vehicle Owner’s Manualinstructions.

TIRE STORAGEAll tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so thatthere is no danger of water collecting inside them.

When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool placeaway from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes andelectric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which tiresare stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline or othersubstances which could deteriorate the rubber. (Tiresexposed to these materials during storage or driving couldbe subject to sudden failure.)

To Avoid Damage to your Tires andPossible Accident:• Check tire pressure at least once a month when

tires are cold and before long trips.• Do not underinflate/overinflate.• Do not overload.• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or

edges of pavement.• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.• If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare

and see the tire manufacturer’s dealer or yourNissan dealership.
