ELIGIBILITY
This Limited Warranty covers BRIDGESTONE
and FIRESTONE brand passenger and light
truck tires, including RFT and temporary
spare tires, originally installed by the vehicle
manufacturer on a new vehicle. You are
covered under the terms of this Limited
Warranty if the tire was produced after July
4, 2004 (DOT serial 2704 or later) and has
been used only on the vehicle on which it was
originally installed in non-commercial service.
WHAT IS WARRANTED AND FOR
HOW LONG
Before wearing down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm)
remaining original tread depth (i.e. worn down
to the top of the built-in indicators in the tread
grooves) and within 6 years from the date of
purchase (proof of purchase date required;
without proof of purchase date, then within 6
years from the date of tire manufacture), for
any reason other than those excluded in the
section entitled “What This Limited Warranty
Does Not Cover,” any eligible tire that
becomes unusable for any reason within the
manufacturer’s control will be replaced with
an equivalent new tire on the basis set forth in
this Limited Warranty.
WHAT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT
COVER
This Limited Warranty does not cover the
following:
1. Tire damage or irregular wear due to:
A. Road hazards, including, without
limitation: Puncture, cut, impact break,
stone drill, bruise, bulge, snag, etc.
B. Improper use or operation, including,
without limitation: Improper inflation
pressure, overloading, tire/wheel
spinning, use of an improper wheel, tire
chain damage, misuse, misapplication,
negligence, tire alteration, or for racing or
competition purposes.
C. Insufficient or improper maintenance,
including, without limitation: Failure
to rotate tires as recommended in this
manual, wheel misalignment, worn
suspension components, improper tire
mounting or demounting, tire/wheel
assembly imbalance, or other vehicle
conditions, defects, or characteristics.
D. Contamination or degradation by
petroleum products or other chemicals,
fire or other externally generated heat, or
water or other material trapped inside the
tire during mounting or inflation.
E. Improper repair. Improper repair voids this
Limited Warranty. F.
For RFT tires only, improper run-flat or
low tire pressure operation, including,
without limitation: Exceeding speed,
distance, or other run-flat/low pressure
operation limitations.
2. Rapid tread wear or wear-out. Original
equipment tires have no mileage warranty.
3. Weather/ozone cracking after 4 years from
date of tire manufacture.
4. Ride disturbance or vibration after 1/32 inch
(0.8 mm) of tread wear use.
5. Tires with sealant, balance, or other filler
material that was not originally applied or
inserted by the tire manufacturer.
6. Tires used in commercial service.
7. Tires purchased and normally used outside
the United States and Canada.
8. The cost of applicable federal, state, and
local taxes.

WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop tire
will be the same brand tire and may either be
the same line of tire or, in the event that the
tire is not available, the same brand tire with
the same basic construction and quality with
a different sidewall or tread configuration. If a
higher priced tire is accepted as replacement,
the difference in price will be at an additional
charge to you.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to
this warranty will be covered by the Goodyear
or Dunlop warranty in effect at the time of
replacement.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life
and the coverage of this limited warranty
ends when the treadwear indicators become
visible (worn to 2/32”), or six (6) years from
the date of new tire purchase, whichever
occurs first. (Without proof of purchase the
date of manufacture will be used to determine
eligibility.)
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the
United States and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS
WARRANTY?
This limited warranty does not cover the
following:
•• Tires submitted for ride disturbance complaints that are worn beyond the first two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32”) tread
depth or tires submitted for ride disturbance
due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.
•• Goodyear & Dunlop do not warrant or give
credit in any adjustment transaction for any
kind of material added to a tire (e.g., tire
fillers, sealants, balancing substances) after
the tire leaves a factory producing Goodyear
or Dunlop tires, nor will it adjust any tire that
has failed as a result of adding such material.
•• Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condition of the vehicle, improper
inflation, overloading, high speed spin-up,
misapplication, misuse, negligence, racing,
use of tire chains, improper mounting or
demounting, improper repair, wreck, collision
or fire.
•• Road hazards (includes, but not limited to, punctures, cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.).
•• Any tire that, after leaving a factory producing Goodyear or Dunlop tires, has
been intentionally altered to change its
appearance (e.g., white inlay on a black tire
or regrooved).
•• Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased more than four (4) years prior to
presentation for adjustment or, if purchase
date cannot be verified, manufactured more
than four years prior to presentation for
adjustment.
•• Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
•• Temporary spare tires used on vehicles used in racing and on passenger cars in special
applications such as police pursuit service.
•• Goodyear Unisteel Commercial Radial Light Truck Tires.
•• Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use, incidental or consequential damages.
•• Tires supplied as Original Equipment are not eligible for any tread life warranty
consideration.
•• Cosmetic weather checking.
•• Lowtire pressure-monitoring system - refer to vehicle manufacturer’s warranty.
WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
No Representative or Dealer has authority
to make any representation, promise, or
agreement on behalf of Goodyear or Dunlop
except as stated herein.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed,
may fail in service or otherwise become
unserviceable due to conditions beyond
the control of the manufacturer. Under no
circumstances is this warranty a representation
that a tire failure cannot occur.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights
and you may also have other rights that vary
from state to state or province to province.

WHO IS COVERED
The original owner of a Michelin Passenger or
Light Truck tire which bears the Michelin name
and complete DOT identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG
Michelin Passenger and Light Truck tires, used
in normal service on the vehicle on which they
were originally fitted and in accordance with
the maintenance recommendations and safety
warnings contained in the Owner’s Manual
and in the Important Tire Safety Information
Section of this booklet, are covered by this
warranty against defects in workmanship
and material for the life of the original usable
tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase,
whichever comes first. At that time, all
warranties, express or implied, are terminated.
The usable tread is the original tread down
to the level of the tread wear indicators
- 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is documented by
new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If
no proof of purchase, coverage will be based
on date of manufacture.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
•• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture, whether
repairable or not);
•• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or improper repair;
•• Underinflation, overinflation, improper maintenance or other abuse;
•• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment resulting in uneven or
rapid wear;
•• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
•• Ozone or weather cracking.
WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES A tire which becomes unserviceable due to
a condition covered by this warranty will be
replaced with a comparable new Michelin
tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn,
(or 25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to
the user) and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. Mounting and balancing of tires is
included. The cost of any other service charges
or applicable taxes are payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of
original tread has been worn (or more than
25%, whichever is most beneficial to the user)
or after 12 months from date of purchase, the
user must pay the cost of a comparable new
Michelin passenger or light truck replacement
tire on a pro-rata basis. The retailer shall
determine the charge by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current actual selling price at
the adjustment location or the price on the
current Michelin Base Price List, whichever is
lower. This List is based on a predetermined
price intended to fairly represent the actual
selling price of the tire. The cost of mounting,
balancing and any other service charges or
applicable taxes are payable by the user.
WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO
When making a claim under the terms of this
warranty, the consumer must present the tire
to an authorized Michelin Retailer. To locate
an Authorized Tire Retailer, check the yellow
pages under “Tire Retailers - Retail.” The vehicle
on which the tire was used should be available
for inspection.
It is essential that you read and understand the
safety and maintenance recommendations (see
Safety Maintenance Information) for your tires.
CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT PROVIDE
COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OF TIME, LOSS
OF USE OF VEHICLE, INCONVENIENCE
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. TIRES
PRESENTED FOR CLAIM REMAIN THE
PROPERTY OF THE CONSUMER AND
