Driving habits, road conditions, vehicle
platform and vehicle and tire
maintenance are all factors that
contribute to tire wear. If your
Replacement Tires do not reach the
miles listed in the Treadwear Coverage
table below but otherwise meet with all
other Treadwear Coverage Conditions set
forth in this Limited Warranty, your tires
will be replaced as follows: the owner
must pay the pro-rata cost for a
comparable Pirelli Replacement Tire. An
authorized Pirelli dealer will determine
the pro-rata cost by multiplying the
current dealer selling price by the
percentage of the warranted mileage
used by the owner.

manufactured with Pirelli Run Flat or
PNCS technology.
If a Run Flat or PNCS tire becomes
unserviceable due to road hazard
damage within the first year from the
date of purchase, or within the first 2/32”
of the original usable tread, whichever
occurs first, the Pirelli tire will be replaced
with an identical or comparable tire at no
charge for the tire to the owner, including
mounting and balancing (subject to
applicable limitations).
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?
• Ride-related claims after the first yearof purchase, or after the first 2/32” of
useable tread, whichever comes first.
These include, without limitation,
uneven wear due to misalignment,
worn suspension components,
mechanical interference and/or
improper inflation, flat spots due to
improper transport, improper storage
and/or braking, road irregularities, etc.
• Irregular wear.
• Excessive noise emissions.
• Tires with 2/32” (1.6 mm) or less tread remaining. • Tire damage and surface cracks due to
use in low ambient temperatures
(except in winter and all-season Pirelli
tires as defined in the applicable Pirelli
Product Catalog).
• Tire damage due to abuse or misuse, including without limitation:
– improper mounting/dismountingpractices, application of
aftermarket wheel protection
hardware, abuse, misuse, or
neglect;
– misapplication, including improper fitment, insufficient Speed Rating,

OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
The owner is responsible for proper tire
care and maintenance. Maintain the
recommended tire pressure by checking
the tire pressure monthly and before long
trips with an accurate pressure gauge.
Using vehicle manufacturer suggestions
based on load will improve tire life and
your satisfaction with the tires. CAUTION:
Please be aware that it is
important before fitting the suggested
tires, to ensure that the fitting is allowed
by the technical specifications of the
vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and
relevant laws/regulations. Pirelli does not
express any view as to the compatibility
of the wheel/tire combination with the
technical specifications for the chassis
and vehicle.
TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND
LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY,
REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS
HAVE A LOAD INDEX AND SPEED RATING
THAT EQUALS OR EXCEEDS THAT OF
THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES OF
THE VEHICLE.

Regular OE Tires
1. If less than 25% Worn: Toyo/Nitto Tires will replace, free of charge, any
Eligible Tire when the original usable
tread is worn by 25% or less, and

tread depth will vary by tire model). The
prorated cost of a replacement tire
is determined as follows: [(Original
usable tread worn) ÷ (Original usable

the same tire, or a tire of the same basic
construction and quality, as the original
tire, as determined by Toyo/Nitto Tires.
