Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has extended the warranty of four premium Dunlop brand commercial truck tire casings from four years to six years, a first for the Dunlop brand, the tire maker said.
The casings include the Dunlop SP193 FM, SP384 FM, SP456 FM and SP464 in sizes 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 285/75R24.5 and 295/75R22.5. Three of the tires – the SP193 FM, SP384 FM and SP456 FM – are on the U.S. EPA’s SmartWay list of verified technologies.
The warranty extension from four years to six years “is an important breakthrough for the Dunlop brand and Dunlop dealers,” according to Larry Tucker, segment marketing manager. “The enhanced warranty gives Dunlop dealers a major competitive advantage when selling these four casings and promoting the Dunlop brand overall. It’s a premium warranty that complements the premium technology found in Dunlop truck tires.”
In addition, if retreaded by a Goodyear Authorized Retreader, the casings will be warranted for covered conditions for an unlimited number of retreads for a period of six years from the date of the casing Department of Transportation serial number or proof of purchase, if available, the company added.
