FOR HOW LONG
Before wearing down to 2/32” (1.6 mm)
remaining original tread depth (i.e. worn
down to the top of the built-in indicators
in the tread grooves) and within 6 years
from the date of purchase (proof of
purchase date required; without proof of
purchase date, then within 6 years from
the date of tire manufacture), for any
reason other than those excluded in the

following:
1. Tire damage or irregular wear due to:
A. Road hazards, including, without
limitation: Puncture, cut, impact

snag, etc.
B. Improper use or operation,
including, without limitation:
Improper inflation pressure,
overloading, tire/wheel spinning,
use of an improper wheel, tire
chain damage, misuse,
misapplication, negligence, tire
alteration, or for racing or
competition purposes.
C.
Insufficient or improper
maintenance,including, without
limitation: Failure to rotate tires as
recommended in this manual,
wheel misalignment, worn
suspension components, improper
tire mounting or demounting,
tire/wheel assembly imbalance, or
other vehicle conditions, defects,
or characteristics.
D. Contamination or degradation
by petroleum products or other
chemicals, fire or other externally
generated heat, or water or other
material trapped inside the tire
during mounting or inflation.
E. Improper repair voids this
Limited Warranty.

run-flat or low tire pressure
operation, including, without
limitation: Exceeding speed,
distance, or other run-flat/low-
pressure operation limitations.
