NEXEN TIRE
TOTAL COVERAGE WARRANTY™
(Effective February 1, 2016)
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.

MILEAGE TREAD WEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Most patterns manufactured by Nexen Tire are assigned a mileage warranty 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).
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.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
• Ride complaints after the first 2/32 of an inch of tread wear or replacement of three or more tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted.
• R oad hazard damage such as cuts, snags, punctures or tire repair, bruises, impact
b
reaks, etc. Check Road Hazard Replacement Program for patterns that are covered
against this type of damage.
• P remature or irregular wear due to vehicle mechanical deficiencies or failure to rotate
t
he tires at recommended intervals.
• T ires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the United States.
•
Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incorrect application,
w
ater or other material trapped inside the tire during mounting or failure to balance
the tires.
• D amage from overinflation or underinflation, overloading, fire, theft, and defective
v
ehicle mechanical conditions.
• R acing, off road use and misapplications of tire to vehicle.
•
Ozone or weather cracking on tires after 48
months from the date of manufacture or
ot
her abuse, misuse, tire alteration, run flat.

OTHER LIMITATIONS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
• Failure to rotate tires as recommended voids the tread wear warranty.
• If tires are different size on front and rear of vehicle, and therefore can’t be rotated,
t
he mileage warranty for the rear tires will be half of the stated mileage warranty.
• W inter tires must be used only in winter months, which are determined to be
S
eptember 1st through April 30th of the following year. Documentation is required
showing date of installation and removal to maintain tread wear warranty.
ROAD HAZARD REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
Most patterns sold by Nexen Tire are covered by a road hazard warranty that protects the
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.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ROAD HAZARD REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

Road Hazard Policy For Run Flat Tires Only
Pirelli Run Flat tires are manufactured with technology that allows limited low-inflation
operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure. Pirelli does not recommend the repair
of run flat tires and as a result, Pirelli provides road hazard coverage on all Pirelli
produced tires that are manufactured with run flat technology. To qualify for Run Flat
Road Hazard coverage, a completed claim form along with the tire exhibiting the road
hazard must be returned to Pirelli through an authorized Pirelli dealer.
If a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or materials anomalies or
ro
ad hazard injury 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 2/32of an inch of the original usable tread, whichever occurs
first, the tire will be replaced with the same or comparable tire at no charge for the tire
to the owner. After the initial warranty period, if a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable
due to workmanship or materials anomalies or road hazard injury, the owner must pay
the cost of 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. This Road Hazard Policy is not a warranty. PTI does
not warranty that a Pirelli tire will not fail due to road hazard and does not authorize any
person, including authorized Pirelli dealers, to make such a warranty.
Pirelli “Seal Inside” Technology
Select Pirelli tires incorporate “Seal Inside” technology, a construction designed to stop
the loss of air from a tire when punctured by an object. Providing the puncture does not
compromise the structural integrity of the tire, a sealing material layer prevents possible
air leakage in the event of a carcass puncture.
The “Seal Inside” technology is not designed or intended to be a permanent repair, and
i s
only meant to allow the consumer to go to a Pirelli dealer for an inspection to determine
if repair or replacement is needed.
Visit www.ca.pirelli.com for more information.
What Is Not Covered By The Warranty?
• Tires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the United States of
America or Canada.
• T ires transferred from the vehicle on which they were originally installed.

identified with a pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on the sidewalls and must
meet specific snow performance test requirements. Pirelli Winter tires do not carry a
mileage warranty.
The information provided above is an overview of tire types. Tread patterns and rubber
c o
mpounds vary among the seasonal tire types and provide varying performance
characteristics and limitations based on your individual needs and vehicle specifications.
Summer performance tires are different than winter and all season types. To determine
which Pirelli lines carry a Limited Treadwear Warranty, please refer to The PTI Treadwear
Mileage Warranty Conditions and Mileage Warranty sections found in this document.
3. Pressure Recommendations
Recommended tire inflation pressures for your vehicle can be found either on your
vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner’s manual. Correct pressures are related to
load, speed and vehicle handling and are vital for even braking, maximum traction and
good tire life. Under no circumstances should your tire’s cold inflation pressure be less
than that indicated on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner’s manual or
higher than the maximum cold inflation pressure molded on to the tire’s sidewall.
Underinflation causes excessive flexing, deterioration of the tire and rapid wear of the
tread edges. Overinflation results in an uncomfortable ride, a reduced area of tire contact
with the road surface (i.e., smaller tire footprint), higher susceptibility to impact damage
and rapid wear on the tread center.
Inflation pressure must be checked at least once a month and should be checked only
w h
en the tire is cold or before it has been driven. Driving even a short distance
(1 kilometer or 2 to 3 minutes) causes tires to heat up and the air pressure to increase
a p
proximately 4 psi. In case it is necessary to adjust the air pressure in tires that have
been driven, the air pressure should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi higher than
the recommended cold inflation pressure.
For Example Only:
WARNING!
Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous. These situations can
cause a tire failure, including tread/belt separation, even at a later date, which could
lead to an accident and serious personal injury or death.
Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 27 PSI
Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure: 26 PSI
Desired Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 26 PSI + 4 PSI = 30 PSI
Therefore: Add 3 PSI
