40CONTINENTAL/GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
(B) Pro Rata Replacement Policy:
Passenger/Light Truck Tires
After the "Free Replacement Policy"
expires (set forth in section 2A), and
the tire is still within 72 months from
the date of purchase*, you will pay, on
a pro rata basis, for a comparable**
new Continental or General brand
replacement tire. A tire is eligible for an
adjustment on a pro rata basis until the
tread is worn down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining). The tire tread is worn out at
this point and this Policy ends regardless
of time period. Owner pays all applicable
taxes (including F.E.T.), mounting and
balancing charges.
Serva-Spare Tires
After the “Free Replacement Policy”
expires (set forth in section 2A), no
adjustment will be made.
3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS
CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined
by multiplying the percentage of the usable
tread worn by the Retailers Selling Price
(excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of
the adjustment or the Continental/General
brand current published Adjustment Base Price, whichever is lower. The usable tread
is the original tread down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining). The Adjustment Base Price is
intended to fairly represent a Retailer ’s Selling
Price for the same or comparable tire.
4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE
ADJUSTMENT POLICY
a.
The following conditions are not covered:
Road Hazard: Cuts, snags, punctures, bruises
or impact breaks and any damage caused
by puncture or tire repair. Ride/Vibration:
After “Free Replacement Policy” (set forth in
section 2A) expires.
Tire Damage or Failure Resulting From
Improper Operation or Maintenance: Load,
speed, and inflation practices causing
excessive operational temperatures to
exceed the tire capabilities.
Tire damage (including irregular treadwear)
or failure resulting from: improper mounting
or demounting, damaged rim, wheel
alignment, tire trueing, chain damage, brakes
or any similar mechanical problem, extreme
temperature exposure, misuse, negligence,
and abusive driving such as tire spinning,
racing or accident damage. Tire failure
resulting from intentional alterations: such
as adding a white inlay on a blackwall or
sealant materials. Age Conditions: Weather checking/cracking
coverage is for a maximum period of 48
months from the date of purchase.
b. General Exclusions -
Tire(s) submitted for an adjustment in service
for longer than 72 months from date of
purchase*, are not covered by this policy.
Tire(s) on any vehicle registered and normally
operated outside the United States and
Canada are not covered under this Policy.
For tires on vehicles normally operated
outside the United States and Canada, see
the nearest Continental or General Tire
retailer or distributor for local coverage.
Tire(s) transferred from the vehicle on which
they were originally installed are not covered
under this Policy.
Company does not offer tread wearout
coverage up to a predetermined mileage
under this Policy. Tire(s) used in racing
related activities or competitive events are
not covered by this Policy.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY

* At the time of claim, you need to present your new vehicle registration or new vehicle sales invoice showing date of purchase. If satisfactory proof-of-purchase date is not provided, the D.O.T.
certification date of manufacture (tire serial number) will be used.
** A “comparable” new Continental or General brand tire may be either the same tire line or the same basic construction but with a different sidewall or tread configuration. If a higher-priced tire is accepted
as replacement, the owner will pay the difference in price. Any tire replaced under this Policy will be covered by the current Continental or General Tire Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy

44IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION¹
result in tire destruction. When inspecting
your tires, including the spare, check your air
pressures. If your pressure check indicates
that one of your tires has lost pressure of two
pounds or more, look for signs of penetrations,
valve leakage, or wheel damage that may
account for the air loss.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected
to high speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid
starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads
which are in poor condition, and off-road use.
Roads with holes and rocks or other objects
can damage tires and cause misalignment of
your vehicle. When you drive on such roads,
drive on them carefully and slowly, and before
driving again at normal or highway speeds,
examine your tires for any damage, such
as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual wear
patterns, etc.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS):
Tires contain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear
Bars) in the grooves of the tire tread which
show up when only 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage,
your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond
this stage are dangerous.
HAZARDS
Objects in the road that threaten a tire should
be safely avoided. These objects are potholes,
glass, metal, rocks, wood debris and the
like. Unavoidable contact should prompt a
thorough tire inspection. You may not always recall hitting an object
that can damage or injure your tires. If while
driving your vehicle experiences any unusual
vibrations, ride disturbance or noise and/or you
suspect that possible damage to the tires or
vehicle has occurred, DO NOT JAM OR LOCK
YOUR BRAKES! Rather reduce your speed and
drive with caution until you can safely pull off
the road. Stop and inspect the tires. If the tire
is underinflated or damaged, deflate, remove
the tire and rim assembly and replace it with
your spare. If you cannot detect a cause, have
the vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire
retailer to have the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND
DEMOUNTING OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a
tire yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous
and must be done by professionally trained
persons using proper tools and procedures
as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA). Follow these mounting
recommendations. Your tires should be
mounted on wheels of correct size and type
and which are in good, clean condition. Bent,
chipped or rusted wheels may cause tire
damage. The inside of the tire must be free
from foreign materials. Have your retailer
check the wheels before mounting new tires.
Mismatched tires and rims can explode during
mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can
result in dangerous tire failure on the road. If
a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized
rim, do not remount it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may be damaged internally (which
is not externally visible) by being dangerously
stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires
are mounted, have new valves of the correct
type installed. Tubeless tires must be mounted
only on wheels designed for tubeless tires, i.e.,
wheels which have safety humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an
innertube or inject sealant as a permanent
substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified
persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve
caps. This will keep valve cores clean and clear
and guard against leakage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE
A TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE.
Some tire
manufacturers do not warrant any inspection
or repair process. The repair is entirely the
responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in
the tread of a passenger tire which do not
exceed 1/4 of an inch (6mm) in diameter can
usually be repaired by following the Rubber
Manufacturer’s Association (RMA) Passenger
and Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact
the manufacturer of your tires for its position
and assistance as to the acceptable location
for a proper repair and the repair of speed
rated tires. Do not use plug repairs. They may
cause further damage to the tire. They are not
always air tight and the plug may fail. Do not
exceed posted speed limits on any repaired tire.

7. Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure
monthly and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2)
even when not in use.
8. The high-pressure spare tire should not be
used with any other rim nor should standard
tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on
the high-pressure spare tire rim 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
temporary spare tire fitted.
11. Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-
pressure temporary spare.
NOTE: When using any temporary type spare
tire, be sure to follow the vehicle Owner’s
Manual instructions.
TIRE STORAGE
All tires should be stored in a cool dry place
indoors so that there is no danger of water
collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored
in a cool place away from sources of heat
and ozone such as hot pipes and electric
generators. Be sure that surfaces on which
tires are stored are clean and free from grease,
gasoline or other substances which could
deteriorate the rubber. (Tires exposed to these
materials during storage or driving could be
subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and Possible
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
retailer or your Infiniti retailer.
