2. After the first 2/32of the original usable tread, a credit percentage
will be given toward the purchase price of a comparable new Kumho
or Marshal tire effective at the time of adjustment Applicable taxes on
the new tire and costs of mounting and balancing service are payable
by the owner.
To obtain the credit percentage, please refer to Adjustment Credit
Percentage Table or utilize the following example:
R.T.D.: Remaining Tread Depth
O.T.D.: Original Tread Depth
If R.T.D. = 5 and O.T.D. = 10, the calculation is (5-2:r emaining
useable tread depth) ÷ (10 - 2 : original useable tread depth)= 38%
3. Temporary Spare Tire During the first 1/32 of the original usable tread, Kumho will replace
such temporary tire with a comparable new Kumho temporary tire

Neither Kumho Tire U.S.A., Inc., nor any other tire manufacturer, can
guarantae you’ll receive a certain number of miles from any given tire.
Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions and vehicle mainte-
nance all play a vital role in the tread life of a tire. However, if a tire does
not reach the warranted mileage, and the original owner of the tires has
complied with the terms and conditions of the Limited Tread Wear
Warranty, KUMHO will replace the tires as follows:
1. If tread has worn down to the tread wear indicators (2/32 nds treaddepth) within 72 months from the date of purchase (or manufacturer)
or does not deliver the warranted miles of normal passenger use,
whichever comes first, Kumho Tire U.S.A., Inc. will make an allow-
ance for unused service towards a comparable new tire, pro-rated on
warranted miles.
2. The replacement allowance will be calculated by percentage of the warranted miles not received multiplied to the predetermined adjust-
ment price of the tire at the time and place of the adjustment.
3. For original equipment tires on new vehicles, please reference separate warranty brochure in your vehicle’s glove box.

Improper inflation, improper mounting, uneven wear, overloading or
off-road driving, run flat or racing, accident, fire or chemicals, use on

new tires should be put on the rear. The newer tires, with deeper tread,
may provide better grip and water evacuation in wet driving condi-
tions.

tion on new on rear; two-tire replacements fitments will be accept-

your vehicle owner ’s manual, even though the tire has lost all air! That
means time to exit from the highway and get to a place where the tire can
be inspected, replaced, or possibly returned to service. The distance that
can safely be travelled following an air loss incident will depend upon
the conditions under which the vehicle is operating, the degree of air loss,
the extent of the damage causing the air loss, the ambient temperature,
the load, and the operating speed of the vehicle. The fewer miles you
travel after an air loss incident, the greater the likelihood that the tire can
be re-inflated (or, if punctured, repaired) and returned to service.
Pax System
The MICHELIN® PAX® System is a very sophisticated system that
includes the tire, support ring and gel, pressure sensing device, and
wheel. In the event of a loss of tire air pressure, with this system you can
still carefully maneuver the vehicle at speeds up to 55 miles per hour, for
a distance of up to 125 miles, even though a tire has lost all air! That
means time to get off the highway and get to a place where the tire can
be inspected, replaced, or possibly repaired and returned to service.
That’s peace of mind!
