that passenger car and light truck tires, including spare tires be
inspected regularly by a qualified tire specialist, such as a Michelin
tire retailer, who will assess the tire’s suitability for continued service.
Tires which have been in use for 5 years or more should continue to
be inspected by a specialist at least annually. Consumers are strongly
encouraged to be aware not only of their tires’ visual condition and
inflation pressure but also of any change in dynamic performance such
as increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be an indication \
that the tires need to be removed from service to prevent tire failure. \
It
is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based on their
calendar age alone. However, the older a tire, the greater the chance
that it will need to be replaced due to the service-related evolution or
other conditions found upon inspection or detected during use. While
most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is
recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date
of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as
a precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they
have not reached the legal wear limit. For tires that were on an origina\
l
equipment vehicle (i.e., acquired by the consumer on a new vehicle),
follow the vehicle manufacturer’s tire replacement recommendations,
when specified (but not to exceed 10 years). The date when a tire
was manufactured is located on the sidewall of each tire. Consumers
should locate the Department of Transportation or “DOT” code on the
tire. The code begins with “DOT” and ends with the week and year of
manufacture. For example, a DOT code ending with “2214” indicates a
tire made in the 22nd week of 2014.

Failure to meet conditions of this Limited Warranty, not limited to:•
Any tire that is not an Eligible Tire.
•
Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records are not
available or verifiable.
•
Any tire not presented and available for Nitto’s inspection.
•
Any tire worn beyond the treadwear indicators (less than 2/32” of

Uniformity issues after the first 25% of treadwear.
Nothing in this Limited Warranty is intended to be a representation that
tire failures cannot occur.
WHAT NITTO WILL DO
For every Eligible Tire, Nitto will do the following:
Regular OE Tires 1.
If less than 25% Worn: Nitto will replace, free of charge, any
Eligible Tire when the original usable tread is worn by 25% or
less, and within 5 years from the date you purchased the vehicle
new. If you cannot provide a copy of the new vehicle registration
or vehicle purchase receipt, the manufacture date of the tire, as
indicated by the tire DOT code, will be used instead to determine
if a tire is within the warranty period. Tire mounting and balancing
costs are covered by Nitto. You are responsible for taxes and
all other costs, fees and expenses.
2.
If more than 25% Worn: Nitto will replace any Eligible Tire when
the original usable tread is worn by more than 25%, and within 5
years from the date you purchased the vehicle new. If you cannot
provide a copy of the new vehicle registration or vehicle purchase
receipt, the manufacture date of the tire, as indicated by the tire
DOT code, will be used instead to determine if a tire is within the
warranty period. You are responsible for the pro-rated cost of
a replacement tire, mounting and balancing costs, taxes and
all other costs, fees and expenses.

NITTO TIRE
149
The original usable tread is determined by measuring the depth on
the tread of an identical model of a new Nitto brand tire to the top of \
the treadwear indicator bars (note: the original usable tread depth will
vary by tire model).
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows:
[(Original usable tread worn) ÷ (Original usable tread)]
x (Actual current dealer selling price).
A comparable Nitto brand tire is the same tire, or a tire of the
same basic construction and quality, as the original tire, as determined
by Nitto.
HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM
To make a claim under this Limited Warranty, you must: 1.
Present your vehicle with the subject tire(s), to an authorized
Nitto dealer.
2.
Complete and sign the Nitto Limited Warranty Claim form
provided by the dealer.
3.
Keep a copy of the Claim form for your records, and leave the
subject tire with the dealer.
Your claim will be administered in accordance with the limited warranty
that was in effect when you purchased the vehicle new.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
NITTO DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL
AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (e.g., loss of time, loss of
use of vehicle, towing charges, road services, cost of rental car,
inconveniences, etc.).

Tire Safety and Maintenance Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY AND TIRE USAGE INFORMATION FOR
NITTO NT05R TIRES ON THE DODGE CHALLENGER SRT DEMON
Your drag radial tires are designed for racing conditions and are not
like ordinary passenger car tires. Follow the instructions on this page \
to promote tire safety and to better understand your drag radial tires’
characteristics. To the extent any information on this page differs from
the general tire care information elsewhere in this manual, follow the
instructions on this page for your tires.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPETITION TIRES
The drag radial tires installed on this vehicle are designed for
competition use, and feature a race compound, limited tread grooves,
and shallow tread depth, to provide maximum dry traction. Therefore,
these tires are not recommended for use in wet weather conditions
where there is risk of hydroplaning and loss of vehicle control.
