HANKOOK TIRE

Limited Warranty
For Original Equipment Passenger Car & Light
Truck Tires Including Temporary Tires
What Is Covered and for How Long
Hankook warrants that a tire manufactured by Hankook and
equipped originally on the vehicle is free from defects in materials or \
workmanship in normal use for the life of the original usable tread. The
life of the original usable tread ends when the tire tread has been worn\
down with only 1.6mm (2/32nds inch) remaining, at which point the tire
is considered to be fully worn out.
Passenger Car and Light Truck Tiresa.
Free replacement
If Hankook Radial Passenger & Light Truck Tires fail as a result of
defect in material and/or workmanship within the first 25% of tread
wear, the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable Hankook
Tire at no charge including mounting and balancing charges.
b.
Pro rata replacement
Tires not qualifying for free replacement will be allowed a credit
toward purchase of a new, comparable Hankook Tire based
upon the amount of tread actually worn. The cost of mounting,
balancing and any other service charges or applicable taxes shall
be paid by the user. Otherwise adjustment for compensation will
be made on a prorata basis calculated by multiplying the actual
current dealer selling price by the percentage of remaining usable
tread depth.
Hankook Temporary Tire a.
A Temporary tire weighs less and provides more trunk storage
space than a conventional tire. To conserve tire tread life,
temporary tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as it is
convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
b.
If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a result of defect in materials
and/or workmanship during the first 50% of usable tread wear,
the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable tire at no charge

including mounting charge. No adjustment will be made for tires
that are worn more than 50%.
