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
t h
at any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of manufacture, including spare
tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple precaution even if such tires appear
serviceable and even if they have not reached the legal wear limit. For tires that were on
an original 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.
C o
nsumers should locate the Department of Transportation (DOT) code on the tire which
begins with DOT and ends with the week and year of manufacture. For example, a DOT
code ending with “2204” indicates a tire made in the 22nd week (May) of 2004.

FOR STEEL BELTED RADIAL TIRES MANUFACTURED BY NEXEN TIRE
ABOUT NEXEN TOTAL COVERAGE WARRANTY
This limited warranty only applies to the original purchaser of new replacement tires sold
by NEXEN TIRE USA (as below Nexen Tire), and has been used on the same vehicle that
it was originally installed on.
This warranty applies to tires purchased after February 1, 2016. Tires purchased before
Feb
ruary 1, 2016 are subject to the previous published warranty.
The Nexen Total Coverage Warranty offers the consumer the following benefits:
Coverage for Defects in Workmanship and Materials
• Mileage Tread Wear Limited Warranty*
• Ro
ad Hazard Replacement Program*
• Ro
adside Assistance – Flat Tire Change or Tow Service
* M
ost, but not all Nexen Tire patterns come with a Mileage Tread Wear Warranty and/or
Ro a
d Hazard Replacement. Check each pattern for coverage.
For purposes of this warranty, the term “usable tread life” will be determined as having
at
least 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining evenly across the tire. If less than
2/ 3
2 of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remains at any point on the face of the tire, the tire
wi l
l be considered past its usable tread life and subject to any and all conditions stated
below.
WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS
All Nexen Tires are warranted against defects in workmanship and material and will be
replaced 100% free of charge for the initial warranty period which is the first 2/32 of an
inch (1.6 mm) of original usable tread life, or within 12 months from the period of
pu r
chase, whichever comes first.
After the 100% replacement term expires and the tire is still within 72 months from date
of
manufacture, the amount of credit will be determined 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.

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).
U n
der all circumstances, the cost of mounting, balancing and any other service charges
including applicable taxes are required to be paid by the consumer.

t
he tires at recommended intervals.

consumer against non-repairable damage caused by puncture, snag, cut, bruise or
impact break. Typical road hazards are nails, glass, potholes and other debris. Covered
tires will be eligible for a free replacement for the first 3/32 of an inch of original tread
depth, or for a period of two years from the date of purchase; whichever comes first. If
the DOT number on the tire is greater than two years from the adjustment date, an
invoice showing date of purchase is necessary. The cost of mounting, balancing and any
other service charges including applicable taxes are required to be paid by the consumer.

, warrants to the original purchaser that all Pirelli brand or PTI private brand Original
Equipment and Replacement Passenger and Light Truck radial tires with a complete DOT
identification number and branded Pirelli or a PTI private brand, which are supplied by
PTI, either directly or through an authorized Pirelli Dealer, and which are mounted on
passenger cars, vans and light trucks within the US and Canada will be free from defects
in workmanship and materials. The Pirelli Original Equipment & Replacement Limited
Warranty is subject to periodic revision: see the Warranty section at www.ca.pirelli.com
for the latest version.
Original Equipment and Replacement Tires
Original Equipment Tires are defined as tires supplied as original equipment by the
ve h
icle manufacturer on new vehicles. Original Equipment tires are backed by
Workmanship and Materials coverage. The PTI Limited Tread wear warranty does not
apply to Original Equipment tires.
Replacement Tires are defined as tires mounted to your vehicle after the Original
Eq u
ipment tires have been removed. Replacement Tires are backed by both
Workmanship and Materials and PTI Limited Tread wear coverage as defined in this
document.
Tire Registration
Please request your dealer register your replacement tires, provide you with a
registration card, or go to www.ca.pirelli.com to register your tires on line. In case of a tire
recall, we can reach you only if we have your name and address. You must register your
t ir
es to be on our list.
What Is The Adjustment Policy And For How Long?
If a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or material anomalies during
the initial warranty period, which is one year from the date of original retail purchase of
the vehicle or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt required) or within the
first 2/32 of an inch of the original usable tread, whichever occurs first, the tire will be
replaced with the same or comparable tire at no charge to the owner. To receive
consideration for warranty coverage, tires must be returned to a PTI authorized dealer.
Tire Inspection Personnel designated by PTI make the final determination regarding
qualification for Workmanship and Materials and Limited Tread wear coverage on tires
submitted to Pirelli via an authorized Pirelli dealer. If the tire is presented for ride related
anomalies the warranty period is one year from the date of original retail purchase of the
vehicle or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt required) or within the first

for any associated service charges, including costs associated with mounting and
balancing in both the aforementioned cases.
After the initial warranty period, if a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to
w o
rkmanship or material anomalies the owner must pay the cost for a comparable new
Pirelli brand or PTI private brand replacement tire on a pro-rata basis. The authorized
Pirelli Dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the percentage of the original usable
tread worn by the current dealer selling price. The owner must pay for any associated
service charges, including costs associated with mounting and balancing of the tire.
A tire has delivered its original usable tread life and is considered 100% worn when the
t r
ead wear indicators (2/32 of an inch tread remaining) become visible regardless of age
or mileage.
