Other Warranties
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTY
GIVEN BY PIRELLI. PIRELLI DOES NOT MAKE ANY OTHER
EXPRESS WARRANTY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE APPLICABLE DURATION OF
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. PIRELLI DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANY
OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING AUTHORIZED PIRELLI DEALERS
OR VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS, OR VEHICLE DEALERS, TO
CHANGE THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR CREATE ANY OTHER
OBLIGATION IN CONNECTION WITH PIRELLI TIRES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
What Is the Standard Limited Warranty Coverage?
If an eligible Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship
or material defects within the first year from the date of purchase
or within the first 2/32” of the original usable tread , whichever
occurs first, the tire will be replaced with an identical or comparable
Pirelli tire at no charge to the owner, including mounting and balancing
(subject to applicable limitations). Miscellaneous fees and taxes are
not covered under this Limited Warranty.
If a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or material
defects (other than ride-related complaints and Road Hazard) following
the initial warranty period above, the owner must pay the pro-rata
cost for a comparable Pirelli Replacement Tire. Owner is responsible
for mounting and balancing charges. An authorized Pirelli dealer will
determine the pro-rata cost by multiplying the percentage of
the original usable tread that has been worn by the current dealer
selling price.
When the treadwear indicators become visible (2/32” tread depth
remaining), regardless of age or mileage, the tire is considered to be \
100% worn and will not be covered by this Limited Warranty.

Treadwear Coverage for Select Replacement
Tire Lines Only
This Limited Warranty also warrants Treadwear Coverage to the
original purchaser of select Replacement Tires purchased through
an authorized Pirelli dealer. Treadwear Coverage will extend for the
vehicle odometer miles described below, from the point of original retail
purchase (the “Treadwear Coverage”). This Treadwear Coverage does
not apply to Original Equipment Tires.
Driving habits, road conditions, vehicle platform and vehicle and
tire maintenance are all factors that contribute to tire wear. If your
PIRELLI
190
Replacement Tires do not reach the miles listed in the Treadwear
Coverage table below but otherwise meet with all other Treadwear
Coverage Conditions set forth in this Limited Warranty, your tires will
be replaced as follows: the owner must pay the pro-rata cost for a
comparable Pirelli Replacement Tire. An authorized Pirelli dealer will
determine the pro-rata cost by multiplying the current dealer selling
price by the percentage of the warranted mileage used by the owner.
Treadwear Coverage Conditions
• You must be the original purchaser of the Replacement
Tires and have a copy of the original invoice showing the
application mileage.
•
You must be the owner of the vehicle on which the Replacement
Tires were originally installed.
•
The tires must be from one of the Replacement Tire lines listed in
the table below titled “Treadwear Coverage”.
•
You must have had the Replacement Tires rotated at least every
5,000 to 7,000 miles.
•
Your servicing tire dealer must be an authorized Pirelli dealer and
must have completed the Tire Rotation Record.
•
The tires must be worn evenly across the tread, down to the
treadwear indicator (2/32” of tread depth) at which time they are
considered to be 100% worn out. There cannot be more than a
2/32” tread depth difference across the tire.
•
Passenger and P-Metric Light Truck tires are not covered for
mileage when used on commercial vehicles or in commercial
applications.
•
For vehicles equipped with different Replacement Tire sizes front
and rear, the Treadwear Coverage for the rear tires will be 50% of
the mileage coverage stated below.

limited low inflation operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure.
As a result, in addition to the standard warranty coverage, Pirelli
provides road hazard coverage on both Pirelli Original Equipment Tires
PIRELLI
192
and Replacement Tires manufactured with Pirelli Run Flat or
PNCS technology.
If a Run Flat or PNCS tire becomes unserviceable due to road hazard
damage within the first year from the date of purchase, or within the
first 2/32” of the original usable tread, whichever occurs first, the Pirelli
tire will be replaced with an identical or comparable tire at no charge \
for the tire to the owner, including mounting and balancing (subject to
applicable limitations).

first 2/32” of useable tread, whichever comes first. These include,

and/or braking, road irregularities, etc.

Owner’s Responsibilities
The owner is responsible for proper tire care and maintenance.
Maintain the recommended tire pressure by checking the tire pressure
monthly and before long trips with an accurate pressure gauge. Using
vehicle manufacturer suggestions based on load will improve tire life
and your satisfaction with the tires.
PIRELLI

CAUTION :
Please be aware that it is important before fitting the suggested tires,
to ensure that the fitting is allowed by the technical specifications of
the vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and relevant laws/regulations.
Pirelli does not express any view as to the compatibility of the wheel/
tire combination with the technical specifications for the chassis
and vehicle.
TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRYING
CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS HAVE A LOAD
INDEX AND SPEED RATING THAT EQUALS OR EXCEEDS THAT
OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES OF THE VEHICLE. FOR
ADDITIONAL TIRE CARE RECOMMENDATIONS, PLEASE REFER
TO THE “TIRE CARE AND SERVICE” SECTION BELOW.
How to Initiate a Claim Under This Limited Warranty
To initiate a warranty claim, the Pirelli tire(s) must be returned to an
