Replacement of Tires
• If you make a warranty claim in accordance with this Limited
Warranty, and the Tire* is within the first 25% of original, usable
tread, or the warranty claim is made 12 months from the date of
your purchase of the new Vehicle (whichever comes first), the Tire
will be promptly replaced with a comparable tire, without charge to
you (Free Replacement).
* If your warranty claim is with respect to a temporary spare tire,
the tire must be within the first 1/32nd inch (0.8 mm) of tread
depth, and the warranty claim does not have to be made within 12
months from the date of purchase.
•
During the Free Replacement period, mounting and balancing are
free of charge.
•
After the Free Replacement period and Vehicle Manufacturer’s
warranty period, the credit of the Tire will be calculated on a pro-
rated basis.
•
Remaining usable tread is computed as a percentage of the
original, usable tread. The credit amount will be calculated by
multiplying the Tire’s market retail price at the time of the warranty
claim by the remaining usable tread.
•
Original, usable tread does not include the last 2/32nds inch
(1.6 mm) of tread depth.
•
You are responsible for payment of labor costs of mounting and
balancing and applicable taxes, charges for services that you
request but that are not covered by this Limited Warranty, and any
shipping expenses after the Free Replacement period.
•
A “comparable tire” may either be a new Maxxis brand tire
of the same line as the Tire, or if the Tire is out of production
or unavailable, a new Maxxis brand tire of the same basic
construction and quality, with different sidewall or treadwear
configuration. If the same tire or a comparable new Maxxis tire is
available, and you request a higher-priced tire as a replacement,
the difference in price will be paid by you.

Warranty Claim Procedure
• You must present the Tire to a Vehicle Manufacturer Dealer or a
Maxxis Dealer.
•
You must present proof of the date of your purchase of the Vehicle
(car dealer invoice). If you do not present this proof, the warranty
claim will be considered only if the Tire is within five years of its
date of manufacture.
•
You must present the Tire that is the subject of the warranty
claim and all service and maintenance records required by this
Limited Warranty.
•
If there is no Maxxis Dealer or Vehicle Manufacturer Dealer near
you, call the Maxxis Technology Center at 1-866-509-7067.
Safety Maintenance Information
Improper tire mounting and inflation and overloading may cause
serious injury or property damage. Maxxis recommends that you
read and follow all safety information contained in the tire safety
information section of this booklet, vehicle placard in the Vehicle
and/or the Vehicle Owner’s Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following: •
Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an
accurate tire air pressure gauge. Do not reduce pressure when
tires are hot. Proper inflation is essential. Under inflation produces
flexing of the sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Over inflation can cause the tire
to be more susceptible to impact damage.
•
Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and
maximum inflation pressure are molded into the sidewall of your
tire. Overloading builds up excessive heat and can lead to early
tire failure.
•
Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and
curbs) which may cause internal tire damage. Continued use
of a tire that has suffered internal damage, which may not be
visible externally, can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination
Page 118 of 260

MAXXIS
11 6
of internal damage will require dismounting of the tire and
examination by trained tire personnel.
•
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause the tire
beads to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on
the rim. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads. Do not
exceed the maximum recommended pressure to seat the beads.
Only trained tire personnel should mount tires.
•
Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32nd inch (1.6 mm) of tread
depth) increases the probability of tire failure.
•
Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible
tire failure.
•
Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500
miles (8,000 to 12,000 kilometers).
•
The Maxxis brand temporary spare tire weighs less than a
conventional radial tire. The temporary tire should be used only in
emergencies and returned to the trunk as soon as it is convenient
to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.

contained in this booklet.
What Is Covered and for How Long?
MICHELIN passenger and light truck tires that are used in normal

Workmanship and Materials
If there is a defect in workmanship and materials during the life of the\
original usable tread, or six (6) years from date of purchase (whichever
comes first), your tire may be replaced on a pro rata basis under this
warranty. After six (6) years or the wear of the original usable tread,
whichever occurs first, all warranties, expressed or implied, expire.
The “date of purchase” refers to the date on your sales invoice. I\
f you
cannot find your sales invoice, the date will be calculated based on the
date of manufacture which is molded on the sidewall of your tire.
The “life of the usable tread” refers to the original tread worn d\
own
evenly across the face of the tread to the level of the treadwear
indicators, which is 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
Uneven wear is defined as a tread groove difference of 2/32nds of an
inch or more across the face of the tread on the same tire.
