new passenger and light truck tires which
are mounted on cars or light trucks within
the U.S.A. and have complete DOT tire
identification numbers, you are covered

to the maintenance recommendations,
safety warnings and terms and
conditions set forth below. Please read
the following carefully to ensure your
understanding of and compliance with
the terms and conditions of this limited
warranty.
WHAT IS WARRANTED AND
FOR HOW LONG
Should any passenger or light truck tire
manufactured by Linglong Tire covered by
this warranty and used in normal service
on the vehicle on which they were
originally fitted and in accordance with the
maintenance recommendations an safety
warnings, become unserviceable due to
defects in materials or workmanship
during its useable tread life (more than
2/32” remaining tread), or five years from
date of manufacture, or six years from date
of purchase, whichever comes first (at that
time, all warranties, express or implied,
expire), Linglong Tire will do either of the
following:
• During the first 2/32” of the originalusable tread, Linglong will replace
such tire with a comparable new
Linglong tire, free of charge, mounting
and balancing included. Applicable
taxes on the new tire and any other
charges in connection with the
replacement of the tire are payable by
the owner. • After the first 2/32” of the original
usable tread, a credit will be offered
toward the purchase price of a
comparable new Linglong tire at the
time of adjustment. The amount of the
credit will be determined by
multiplying the purchase price of a
comparable new Linglong tire by the
percentage of original tread depth
remaining on the tire. Applicable taxes
on the new tire and costs of mounting
and balancing and any other charges
in connection with the replacement of
the tire are payable by the owner.
• Some Linglong® tires are covered by a manufacturer’s limited mileage
warranty. If such a tire does not reach
the warrantied mileage under the
normal passenger use, and the owner
of the tire has complied with the terms
and conditions of the mileage
warranty, the owner will be
compensated of the original purchase
price prorated to the percentage of the
warranted miles not received.
(For applicable tire, please refer to
www.linglong.cn).

2/32” of the original tread depth.
