104HANKOOK TIRES
LIMITED WARRANTY FOR ORIGINA L EQUIPMENT PASSENGER CAR & LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
INCLUDING TEMPORARY TIRES
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Hankook warrants that a tire manufactured by Hankook and equipped originally on the
vehicle is free from defects in materials or workmanship in normal use for the life of the
original usable tread. The life of the original usable tread ends when the tire tread has
been worn down with only 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) remaining, at which point the tire is
considered to be fully worn out.
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES Free Replacement
If Hankook Radial Passenger & Light Truck Tires fail as a result of defect in material and/
or workmanship within the first 25% of treadwear, the tire will be replaced with a new,
comparable Hankook Tire at no charge including mounting and balancing charges.
Prorated Replacement
Tires not qualifying for free replacement will be allowed a credit toward purchase of a
new, comparable Hankook Tire based upon the amount of tread actually worn. The cost
of mounting, balancing and any other service charges or applicable taxes shall be paid
by the user. Otherwise adjustment for compensation will be made on a prorata basis
calculated by multiplying the actual current dealer selling price by the percentage of
remaining usable tread depth.
HANKOOK TEMPORARY TIRE
A Temporary tire weighs less and provides more trunk storage space than a conventional
tire. To conserve tire tread life, temporary tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as
it is convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a result of defect in materials and/or workmanship
during the first 50 % of usable treadwear, the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable
tire at no charge including mounting charge. No adjustment will be made for tires that
are worn more than 50%.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
NON ADJUSTABLE CONDITIONS
1. Irregular wear or tire damage due to: • Road hazards such as punctures, cuts, snags, scuffs, carcass bruises or impactbr
eaks
• Fire, wreck or collision
• Im
proper inflation, overloading, high speed spinning, improper mounting or
d e
mounting, running flat, off-road use, racing, vandalism, willful damage or abuse

It is important to check your tires using an accurate tire pressure gauge, which can be
purchased at your tire dealer or auto supply store.
Underinflation can overload tires. Check the inflation pressure every month, including for
th
e spare tire, to make sure it is up to specification. Check it again before long trips or
when carrying extra weight.
Look for FCA US LLC’s recommended inflation pressure listed on the Tire Information
P l
acard usually located on your vehicle’s door edge, door post, glove box, or inside the
trunk lid.

ADVERSE WEATHER DRIVING
Take special care when driving in adverse weather conditions.
• R ain and snow – Driving in rain or snow considerably reduces the traction between
y
our tires and the road surface. You must always reduce your speed to allow additional
stopping distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you.
• H ydroplaning and wet weather driving – Hydroplaning occurs on wet roads and refers
t
o the loss of tire contact with the road due to the build-up of water between the tire
contact patch and the road surface. Three main factors affect hydroplaning and,
consequently, your tire traction on wet roads:
1. V ehicle Speed – As speed increases, wet traction is considerably reduced.
2
. W ater Depth – The deeper the water, the sooner your tires will lose traction. Even thin
w
ater layers can create sufficient lubrication to cause traction loss at low speeds,
depending on road conditions.
3. T ire Tread Depth – As your tires wear down, their decreased ability to resist hydro -
p
laning can result in a complete loss of traction and vehicle control. You should
a l
ways reduce your speed with consideration for the traffic around you.
Driving on ice and snow – Your all-season tires were designed to provide higher
levels of snow traction compared to non-all- season tires. You have all-season
tires if you find the letters “M&S” are molded into the sidewall near the bead.
These letters mean “Mud and Snow.” Tires designed for use in severe snow con -
ditions generally have tread patterns, structure, and materials for giving superior
p e
rformance. These tires are marked with the “M&S” designation plus a moun -
tain/snowflake symbol . Even the best all-season tires will not provide accept -
able levels of traction if you drive too fast in snow or ice conditions and if you do
n o
t allow more stopping distance on icy roads compared to dry road surfaces.
Your ability to safely maneuver your vehicle in snow or ice conditions is consid -
erably reduced if your tires are too worn to provide adequate road grip.
SAFE USE OF TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
• The temporary spare tire is designed for temporary use only. It must not be used
continuously as a standard tire. The temporary spare tire should be returned to the
trunk as soon as it is convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
• T he temporary spare tire should not be used for speeds exceeding 50
mph.
• N ever use chains on temporary spare tires, because it could cause damage to your
v
ehicle.
WARNING!
The spare tire your car is equipped with may be of a different size and construction
from the other tires on your vehicle. When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure
to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to observe recommended
precautions could lead to erratic vehicle behavior and/or tire damage, possibly
resulting in an accident and serious personal injury or death.
