After the 100% replacement term expires and the tire is still within 72
months from date of manufacture, the amount of credit will be deter-
mined by the percentage of original tread depth remaining on the tire.
Under all circumstances, the cost of mounting, balancing and any other
service charges including applicable taxes are required to be paid by the
consumer.
MILEAGE TREAD WEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Most patterns manufactured by NEXEN TIRE are assigned a mileage
warranty that protects the consumer against premature tread wear. If a
tire reaches the end of its “usable tread life” before the stated mileage
warranty, the consumer will be issued a replacement Nexen tire on a pro
rata basis, which means the consumer will be responsible for a percent-
age of the replacement cost. In order to maintain tread wear warranty, all
tires must be rotated at least every 5,000-6,000 miles (8,000-10,000 km).
Under all circumstances, the cost of mounting, balancing and any other
service charges including applicable taxes are required to be paid by the
consumer.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
•Ride complaints after the first 2/32 of tread wear or replacement of 3
or more tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted.
• Road hazard damage such as cuts, snags, punctures or tire repair,
bruises, impact breaks, etc. (Check Road Hazard Replacement Pro-
gram for patterns that are covered against this type of damage).
• Premature or irregular wear due to vehicle mechanical deficiencies or
failure to rotate the tires at recommended intervals.
• Tires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the
United States.
• Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incorrect

mounting or failure to balance the tires.

or in commercial service.
OTHER LIMITATIONS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE

be rotated, the mileage warranty for the rear tires will be half of the
stated mileage warranty.

mined to be September 1st through April 30th of the following year.

eligible for a free replacement for the first 3/32 of original tread depth,
or for a period of two years from the date of purchase; whichever comes
first. If the DOT # on the tire is greater than 2 years from the adjustment

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
•Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation or
over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
• Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
the sidewall of the tire.
• Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
• Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
when 2/32 of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
• Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
separations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount
a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and contact your
local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
• Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum
speed justified by driving conditions.
• To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is required.

What Is The Adjustment Policy And For How Long?
If a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or material
anomalies during the initial warranty period, which is one year from the
date of original retail purchase of the vehicle or purchase of replacement
tires (purchase receipt required) or within the first 2/32” of the original
usable tread, whichever occurs first, the tire will be replaced with the
same or comparable tire at no charge to the owner. To receive consider-
ation for warranty coverage, tires must be returned to a PTI authorized
dealer. Tire Inspection Personnel designated by PTI make the final
determination regarding qualification for Workmanship and Materials
and Limited Tread wear coverage on tires submitted to Pirelli via an
authorized Pirelli dealer. If the tire is presented for ride related anomalies
the warranty period is one year from the date of original retail purchase
of the vehicle or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt required)
or within the first 2/32” of the original usable tread, whichever occurs
first. The owner must pay for any associated service charges, including
costs associated with mounting and balancing in both the aforemen-
tioned cases.
After the initial warranty period, if a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable
due to workmanship or material anomalies the owner must pay the cost
for a comparable new Pirelli brand or PTI private brand replacement tire
on a pro-rata basis. The authorized Pirelli Dealer will determine the cost
by multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn by the
current dealer selling price. The owner must pay for any associated
service charges, including costs associated with mounting and balancing
of the tire.
A tire has delivered its original usable tread life and is considered 100%
worn when the tread wear indicators (2/32” tread remaining) become
visible regardless of age or mileage.
