This Limited Warranty and Adjustment (the “Policy”) is is-
sued by Continental Tire North America, Inc. (the “Com-
pany”) and is applicable for Continental/General-brand
original equipment tires and is a promise of replacement
under certain specified conditions. This Policy applies to
tires in normal service displaying adjustable conditions (see

TIRE WILL NOT FAIL OR BECOME UNSERVICEABLE IF NE-
GLECTED OR MISTREATED.

installed by the vehicle manufacturer.

invoice showing date of purchase. If an eligible Pas
senger or Light Truck or Serva-Spare
tire, used in normal service, becomes unserviceable
from a condition other than those listed under Section
