25% of tread wear or within 12 months

from the date of tire manufacture),

replacement period, mounting and

and other service charges may be added
to the adjustment replacement price.
In Canada, the tire will be adjusted at
dealerships (subject to dealer discretion)

Limited Warranty, it will be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty, if any, given on

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.

the tire pursuant to the terms of this
Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy.

adjustment basis under this Limited
Warranty and Adjustment Policy become
the property of CTNA.
OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
To make an eligible claim under this
Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy,
the owner must present a claim with the
tire to an Authorized Dealer. For the
nearest Authorized Dealer, consult the
Yellow Pages, the General brand internet
address, or the 800 telephone numbers
shown on the back of this Limited

form or new vehicle sales invoice

SAFETY WARNING
Ignoring any of the safety and information
contained in this limited warranty and
Adjustment Policy 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.
