Limited Warranty
United States & Canada
Unisteel
® Radial Light Truck Tires Unisteel Radial
Medium Truck Tires
Who Is Eligible for Warranty Coverage?
You are eligible for the benefits of this limited warranty if you meet all
the following criteria:
•
You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of new
Goodyear® Unisteel radial light truck or medium radial truck tires,
including mud and snow and on-/ off-road tires.
•
Your tires bear Department of Transportation (DOT) prescribed tire
identification numbers and are not branded “NA” (Not Adjustable).
•
Your Goodyear truck tires have been used only on the vehicle
on which they were originally installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s or Goodyear’s recommendations.
•
Your tires were purchased on or after June 1, 2018.
What Is Covered and for How Long?
1. Free Tire Replacement – Goodyear truck tires covered by this
warranty that become unserviceable due to a covered warranty
condition during the first 2/32” (inch) treadwear or 12 months from
date of purchase, whichever comes first, will be replaced with a
comparable new Goodyear tire without charge. You pay only for
the mounting and balancing. (Without proof of purchase, date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)
2.
Prorated Tire Replacement – Tires worn beyond the first 2/32”
(inch) treadwear that become unserviceable due to a covered
warranty condition will be replaced on a prorated basis. You are
responsible for mounting, balancing and any additional services
you order at the time of adjustment, as well as any taxes and
government-mandated charges.
3.

Original Tread* – Failure of the DuraSeal Technology to seal a

maximum 1/4” (inch) puncture in the repairable area of the original
tread will qualify for a one-time credit during the life of the original
tread within four (4) years from the date of the casing DOT serial
number or proof of purchase, if available. Sealant credit is based
on local currencies in the country where the adjustment takes
place, $50.00 for both the U.S. and Canada.
4.
TIRES WITH DURASEAL TECHNOLOGY — SEALANT
CREDIT DURING FIRST RETREAD* – Failure of the DuraSeal
Technology to seal a maximum 1/4” (inch) puncture in the
repairable area of the tread will qualify for a one-time credit
through 100% of the first retread up to four (4) years from the date
of the casing DOT serial number or proof of purchase, if available.
Sealant credit is based on local currencies in the country where
the adjustment takes place, $25.00 for both the U.S. and Canada.
All punctures must be repaired at time of retreading for this
Limited Warranty to be honored. If a sealant credit was issued
during the original tread life, no other requests for credit will
be honored.
*All claim forms submitted for sealant credit must be verified by an
authorized Goodyear representative.
How Will The Prorated Charges Be Calculated?
The replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the current
Goodyear advertised selling price, at the adjustment location, by the
percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off at the time
of adjustment. You pay for mounting, balancing, an amount equal to
the full current Federal Excise Tax (FET – U.S. only) and any other
applicable taxes for the comparable new Goodyear replacement tire as
well as any government-mandated charges.
Example:
If your disabled tire had an original 16/32” (inch) of usable tread depth
and is worn to 8/32” (inch) of usable tread remaining, you have used
50% and therefore must pay 50% of the advertised selling price of
a comparable tire, plus an amount equal to the full current Federal
Excise Tax (U.S. only) applicable to the comparable new replacement
Page 92 of 260

tire at the time of adjustment. If the price of the comparable tire is
$400.00, the cost to you would be $200.00 plus Federal Excise Tax
(U.S. only), mounting, balancing, any other applicable taxes and
government- mandated charges.
(Plus FET [U.S. only], other applicable taxes, government- mandated
charges and mounting and balancing.)
What Is a Comparable Tire?
A “comparable” new Goodyear tire may be either the same line of
tire or, in the event that the same tire is not available, a tire of 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 warranty in effect at the time of replacement.
What Is Not Covered Under This Limited Warranty?
• Wear conditions or tire damage due to road hazards (including
punctures, cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.). Wreck, collision, or
fire. Fast wear, irregular wear, heel and toe wear or other wear

misuse, negligence, racing, chain damage, or improper mounting

the sidewall.
•
Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
