H
OW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger And Light Truck Tires Workmanship/Materials
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this
wor
kmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new BFGoodrich® brand tire, free of charge, when 2/32 nds
of an inch (1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less,
whi
chever is more beneficial to you) and within 12 months of the date of
pu
rchase. The cost of mounting and balancing the tire is included. You
pay the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes.
When more than 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of the original tread has
be
en worn (or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to you) or
after 12 months from the date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a
co
mparable new BFGoodrich® brand passenger or light truck
replacement tire on a pro rated basis. The retailer shall determine the
charge by multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread
worn by the current selling price at the adjustment location or the
price on the current BFGoodrich® brand Base Price List, whichever is
lower. This list is based on a predetermined price intended to fairly
represent the actual selling price of the tire.
You pay the cost of mounting, balancing, and or any other service
ch
arges and applicable taxes.

THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built and tested to
th
e high engineering standards set by North America’s leading car
manufacturers and to Goodyear’s own high standards of quality
control. It is designed to take up a minimum of storage space and, at
the same time, fulfill the function of a spare tire when needed. The
spare is kept in its storage space, fully inflated at 60 psi. To be sure it
is always ready for use, the air pressure should be checked on a
regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in combination with
th
e original tires on your vehicle. You can expect a tire tread life of up
to 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers), depending on road conditions and
yo
ur driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, return the spare to the
storage area as soon as it is convenient to have the standard tire
repaired or replaced.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a standard tire
so
it’s easier to handle. It also helps reduce the total car weight, which
contributes to fuel economy. The wheels used with the Convenience
(Temporary) Spare are specifically designed for use with high
pressure spares and should never be used with any other type tire.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim
as
sembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow tire
manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to rim diameter.
Mount light truck radials on rims approved for radial service. Do not
apply bead sealer. This can inhibit bead seating. Lubricate beads and
tire rim (including tube or flap) contact surfaces. Lock assembly on
mounting machine or place in safety cage. STAND BACK and never
exceed 40 psi to seat beads. Never use a volatile substance or a rubber
“donut” (also known as a bead expander or “O-Ring”) to aid bead
seating. Only specially trained persons should mount tires.
DO NOT MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND TYPES ON THE
SA
ME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear® recommends fitment
of
four tires of the same type and size unless otherwise specified by the
vehicle manufacturer.
MICHELIN®

has complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty,
Michelin® will replace the tires as described under “How
Replacement Charges are calculated”.
Temporary Spares
Michelin® temporary spare tires are covered by this warranty for six
ye
ars from the date of purchase or until the first 2/32 nds of an inch
(1.6 mm) of the original tread is worn off. Date of purchase is
do
cumented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no
proof of purchase is available, coverage will be based on date of
manufacture. At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or
p
uncture)
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper
r
epair
• Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation,
o
verinflation or other abuse
• Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in
t
he vehicle such as wheel misalignment, (a measured tread differ -
ence of 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) or more across the tread on the
sa
me tire)
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism
•
Use in commercial applications for tread wear; by this warranty for
s
ix years
• Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake lock
•
The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air,
n
itrogen or carbon dioxide (for example, waterbase sealers or
balancing substances)
• Cosmetic ozone or weather cracking
•
Use of Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires without
a
properly operating low air pressure warning system
NEXEN TIRE
184
After the 100% replacement term expires and the tire is still within
72 months from date of manufacture, the amount of credit will be
de
termined by the percentage of original tread depth remaining on
the tire. Under all circumstances, the cost of mounting, balancing and
any other service charges including applicable taxes are required to be
paid by the consumer.
MILEAGE TREAD WEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Most patterns manufactured by NEXEN TIRE are assigned a mileage
wa
rranty that protects the consumer against premature tread wear.
If a tire reaches the end of its “usable tread life” before the stated
mileage warranty, the consumer will be issued a replacement Nexen
tire on a pro rata basis, which means the consumer will be
responsible for a percentage of the replacement cost. In order to
maintain tread wear warranty, all tires must be rotated at least every
5,000-6,000 miles (8,000-10,000 km). Under all circumstances, the cost
of
mounting, balancing and any other service charges including
applicable taxes are required to be paid by the consumer.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
• Ride complaints after the first 2/32" of tread wear or replacement of
t
hree or more tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted.
• Road hazard damage such as cuts, snags, punctures or tire repair,
b
ruises, impact breaks, etc. Check Road Hazard Replacement
Program for patterns that are covered against this type of damage.
• Premature or irregular wear due to vehicle mechanical deficiencies
o
r failure to rotate the tires at recommended intervals.
• Tires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the
U
nited States.
• Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incor -
r
ect application, water or other material trapped inside the tire
du
ring mounting or failure to balance the tires.
• Damage from over or under inflation, overloading, fire, theft, and
d
efective vehicle mechanical conditions.
• Racing, off road use and misapplications of tire to vehicle.
•
Ozone or weather cracking on tires after 48
months from the date of
ma
nufacture or other abuse, misuse, tire alteration, run flat.
• Any tires worn beyond the wear indicators. Less than 2/32"
r
emaining tread depth.
• Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake lock.

tions of their use and may vary due to driving habits, service prac-
tices, differences in road characteristics, and climate.
• Traction - The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B,
a
nd C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled conditions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
• Temperature - The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
r
epresenting the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tempera -
tures can cause the materials of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
li
fe, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The
grade C corresponds to a level of performance that all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 139. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on
the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
• D OT Quality Grades - All passenger car tires must conform to
f
ederal requirements in addition to these grades. CAUTION!
The traction grade assigned to tires is based on locked braking
( s
traight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering
(turning) traction.
WARNING!
The temperature grade is established for a tire that is properly
in
flated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading either separately or in combination can cause
heat buildup and possible tire failure. This can cause an accident,
which could lead to serious personal injury or death.
