and applicable taxes. When more than
2/32” (1.6 mm) of the original tread has
been 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 comparable new

ELIGIBILITY
This Limited Warranty and Adjustment
Policy (“Warranty”) applies to the original
owner of new Continental brand
Passenger (PASS), Light Truck (LT) and
Temporary Spare (TS) tires that are the
new vehicle original equipment tires
bearing the Continental brand name and
D.O.T. Tire Identification Number,
operated in normal service, and used on
the same vehicle on which they were
originally installed according to the
vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Tire(s) on any vehicle registered and
normally operated outside the United
States and Canada are excluded from
eligibility under this Limited Warranty and
Adjustment Policy.
WHAT IS THE ADJUSTMENT
POLICY AND HOW LONG IS IT
APPLICABLE?
BASIC COVERAGE
Eligible tires are covered by this Warranty
for a maximum of 72 months from the
date of purchase, determined by the new
vehicle registration date or new vehicle
sales invoice showing date of purchase.
Where To Go For Warranty
Replacement
Contact the dealer where you purchased
your vehicle or an alternate authorized
Continental brand tire dealer (Authorized
Dealer) to determine the eligible
warranty coverage for your tires and how
to proceed.
Free Replacement Period
PASS<
If an eligible Continental brand PASS or
LT tire becomes unserviceable from a
warrantable condition, other than those
listed under “What Is Not Covered By This
Warranty”, during the first 12 months or
first 2/32nd of an inch (1.6 mm) of
treadwear (whichever comes first), it will
be replaced with a **comparable new
Continental brand tire FREE OF CHARGE,
including mounting and balancing
(excluding on line orders). Owner pays all
applicable taxes.
TEMPORARY SPARE
If a TS Tire becomes unserviceable from a
condition other than those listed in “What Is
Not Covered By This Warranty”, during the
first 1/32nd (0.8 mm) of treadwear, then it
will be replaced with a **comparable new
Continental brand TS tire FREE OF
CHARGE, including mounting and
balancing. The owner pays all applicable
taxes. After this “Free Replacement Period”
for your TS tire expires, no warranty claim
will be accepted.
After The Free Replacement
Period
The tire (except TS tire) may still be
eligible for a pro rata replacement up to
72 months from date of original purchase
until the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators (2/32nd of an inch or
1.6 mm of tread remaining). If an eligible
tire becomes unserviceable under the
stipulations of this Limited Warranty and
Adjustment policy it will be replaced with
a **comparable new Continental brand
tire, charging the owner a pro-rated
amount. Owner pays all applicable taxes
(including F.E.T.), mounting and balancing

The replacement tire price will be
determined by multiplying the
percentage of the useable tread worn by
the Dealers Selling Price (excluding all
applicable taxes) at the time of the
adjustment. The useable tread is the
original tread down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32nd of an inch or 1.6 mm
of tread remaining.)
**A “comparable” new Continental brand
tire may be of either the same tire line or
the same basic construction but with a
different sidewall or tread configuration.
If a higher priced tire is selected, the
consumer will pay the difference in price.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THIS WARRANTY
The Following Are Not
Covered
Road Hazard:Any tire with road hazard
damage, which includes, but is not
limited to: cuts, snags, punctures, bruises,
and impact breaks.
Ride/Vibration: Any ride/vibration
complaint after the first 2/32” (1.6 mm)
of treadwear or 12 months of service,
whichever comes first.
Repairs: If a tire is returned under
complaint and the reason for the tire’s
disablement is in any way associated
with a repair, or with the situation that
led to the repair, the manufacturer’s
warranty is invalidated.
Mileage: Mileage is not covered under
this policy. Improper operation or maintenance:
This includes, but is not limited to, effects
caused by:
1. Improper tire inflation and/or
improper load/speed practices:
These practices can cause excessive
operational temperatures and stresses
that exceed the tire’s capabilities.
2. Improper or insufficient tire
rotation.
3. Improper vehicle alignment.
4. Damage due to:
– Rim irregularities or rim damage.
– Snow chains.
– Vehicle mechanical problems,
including brake problems, and
vehicle wheel alignment.
– Extreme temperature exposure.
– Negligent and abusive driving such as tire spinning, or racing
– Improper tire storage.
– Automotive accident.
– Chemical corrosion or fire.
– Use contrary to the vehicles manufacturer’s tire
recommendations.
– Misuse or misapplication.
Improper Mounting or Demounting
Alteration: such as, but not limited to,
adding a white inlay on blackwall, tread
regrooving, tire truing or siping, or adding
sealant materials to the tire.
Weather checking/cracking: Not
covered after 48 months from the date of
purchase.
Failure to observe safety and

Owner is responsible for paying all
applicable taxes charged by the servicing
dealer and is also responsible for paying
shipping, local tire-disposal fees and
parts or service regardless of mileage or
months of service. This includes payment
for tire rotation, alignment, towing, road
service, valve stems and tire repairs.
Owner is responsible for maintaining
proper tire air pressure and for proper
maintenance of the tire.
SAFETY WARNING
Ignoring any of the safety and
information contained in this Warranty
may result in tire failure , causing serious
injury or death.
•Tire failure due to under inflation
/overloading. Follow vehicle owner’s
manual or tire placard in vehicle for
proper inflation and loading
• Explosion of tire/rim assembly due
to improper tire mounting. Tire
mounting/ demounting can be
dangerous. It should be performed
only by a trained tire specialist using
proper tools and procedures. Prior to
tire mounting/demounting, the
Rubber Manufacturers Association
(RMA) wall charts and manuals
should be read to obtain the proper
procedures. The failure to follow
these procedures may result in faulty
positioning of the tire and/or rim, that
may cause the assembly to burst with
force sufficient to cause injury or
death •
Tire failure due to damage. Inspect
your tires frequently for scrapes,
bulges, separations, cuts, snags and
other damage from road hazards.
Damage from impact can occur to the
inner portions of your tire without
being visible to the outside. If you
suspect a tire has been damaged from
striking anything unusual in the road,
you must have the tire removed from
the rim and inspected both inside and
out by a trained tire specialist. Air loss
or unusual tire wear can also be
warning signs that a tire may have
internal damage. If you notice these
conditions, have your tire inspected by
a trained individual.
• Tire failure due to excessive tire
spinning. Avoid tire spinning. The
centrifugal force generated by a
free-spinning tire/rim assembly may
cause a sudden tire explosion resulting
in vehicle damage and/or serious injury
or death. Never exceed 35 mph
(55 km/h) as indicated on your
speedometer when your vehicle is
stuck in snow, mud, or sand and your
tire(s) is/are spinning. Use a gentle
backward and forward rocking motion
to free your vehicle for continued
driving. Never stand or permit anyone
else to stand near or behind a tire
spinning while attempting to push a
vehicle that is stuck.

SELF SUPPORTING RUNFLAT
(SSR) TIRE OWNERS
CTA does not recommend any repair to
or reuse of punctured Continental SSR
tires.
Even a trained tire specialist may be
unable to recognize internal structural
damage to a Self Supporting Runflat
(SSR) tire resulting from having been
driven in an under inflated or zero
inflation pressure condition. Such
damage may not be visible on the
surface of the inner liner or sidewall
making it impossible to determine the
tire suitability for repair or reuse. CTA
does not recommend any repair to or
reuse of Continental SSR tires. You may
visit www.continentaltire.com and select
Customer Care FAQ’s to obtain additional
SSR information.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
OWNERS
CTA does not recommend any repair to
or reuse of punctured Temporary Spare
Tires.
CONTISEAL TIRE OWNERS
A ContiSeal™ tire differs from a
non-ContiSeal™ tire in that it has a
sticky, viscous layer from shoulder to
shoulder along the inner liner. This layer is
an integral part of the ContiSeal™ tires. It
is not designed or intended to act as a
permanent puncture repair (See
information below). If an object up to
3/16ths (5 mm) diameter penetrates the
tread of the ContiSeal™ tire, this sticky,
viscous layer is designed to surround and
adhere to the puncturing object and
prevent air loss from the tire by providinga near instantaneous seal. If the
puncturing object becomes dislodged
from the tire, the material is designed to
seal most holes made by objects up to
3/16” (5 mm) diameter. While
ContiSeal™ tires significantly reduce the
incidence of flats, they are not designed to
be driven under inflated or in a flat
condition. In all other aspects, ContiSeal™
tires perform exactly like non-ContiSeal™
tires. As with any tire, regularly inspect
ContiSeal™ tires for evidence of cuts,
punctures, and loss of inflation pressure.
At a minimum, ContiSeal™ tires should be
inspected once or twice a month and
always before a long trip. Punctures or
damage not attended to promptly can
result in loss of inflation pressure and/or
damage to the tire. ContiSeal™ tires with
cuts and punctures must be inspected by
a trained tire specialist as soon as
possible. The trained specialist, must
inspect the tire carefully and, according to
industry standards, to determine whether
a permanent repair can be made or
whether the tire must be removed from
service and scrapped. A permanent repair
will require removal of the tire from the
rim and application of a repair method
specifically approved for the ContiSeal™
tires. ContiSeal™ tires are identified by a
symbol on the tire sidewall.
CONTISILENT TIRE OWNERS
ContiSilent™ tires are designed to
reduce noise generated while driving.
A ContiSilent™ tire is lined with a noise
reducing foam insert. It is not designed or
intended to act as a puncture repair.
Continental
16

USING ContiSilent™ Tires
In aspects such as mounting,
demounting, inflating, and balancing,
ContiSilent™ tires do not differ from
non-ContiSilent™ tires. As with any tire,
regularly inspect ContiSilent™ tires for
evidence of cuts, punctures, and loss of
inflation pressure. At a minimum,
ContiSilent™ tires should be inspected
once or twice a month and always before
a long trip. Punctures or damage not
attended to promptly can result in loss of
inflation pressure and/or damage to the
tire. ContiSilent™ tires with cuts and
punctures must be inspected by a trained
tire specialist as soon as possible. The
trained tire specialist must inspect the
tire carefully and, according to industry
standards, determine whether a
permanent repair can be made or
whether the tire must be removed from
service and scrapped. A permanent
repair will require removal of the tire from
the rim and application of a repair
method specifically approved for
ContiSilent™ Tires.
ContiSilent™ tires are identified by a
symbol on the tire sidewall.
ContiSilent™ tires and non-ContiSilent™
tires may be mixed on the same vehicle.
