this warranty against defects in
workmanship and materials for the life of
the original usable tread, or six years
from the date of purchase, whichever
comes first. At that time, all warranties,
express or implied, expire. The life of the
original usable tread is the original tread
down to the level of the treadwear
indicators - 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is
documented by new vehicle registration.
If no proof of purchase is available, the
date of manufacture as molded on 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.

PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement
that are removed from service due to a
covered warranty condition will be
replaced with a comparable new
Goodyear or Dunlop tire on a prorated
basis for up to six (6) years from the date
of original new tire purchase or when the
treadwear indicators become visible
(worn to 2/32” [1.6 mm]), whichever
occurs first. (Without proof of purchase
the date of manufacture will be used to
determine eligibility.)
HOW WILL PRORATED
CHARGES BE CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by
multiplying the tire’s advertised retail
selling price at the time of adjustment by
the percentage of usable original tread
that has been worn off. You pay for
mounting and balancing, and an amount
equal to the current Federal Excise Tax
(F.E.T. – U.S. only) and any other
applicable taxes and government
mandated charges.
EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an
original 8/32” (6.4 mm) of usable
treadwear and is worn to 4/32” (3.2 mm)
of usable tread remaining, you have used
50% and therefore must pay 50% of the
advertised retail selling price of the
comparable tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount
equal to the full current Federal Excise
Tax (U.S. only) or any other applicable
taxes and government-mandated
charges for the comparable new
replacement tire at the time of
adjustment. If the price of the new
comparable tire is $130.00, the cost to
you would be $65.00 plus F.E.T. (U.S.
only) plus any other applicable taxes and
government-mandated charges.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE
TIRE?
A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire will be the same brand tire and may
either be the same line of tire or, in the
event that the tire is not available, the
same brand tire with the same basic
construction and similar performance
attributes with a different sidewall or
tread configuration. If a higher priced tire
is accepted as replacement, the
difference in price will be at an additional
charge to you. Any replacement tire
provided pursuant to this warranty will be
covered by the warranty in effect at the
time of replacement.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread
life and the coverage of this limited
warranty ends when the treadwear
indicators become visible (worn to 2/32”
[1.6 mm]), or six (6) years from the date
of new tire purchase, whichever occurs
first. (Without proof of purchase the date
of manufacture will be used to determine
eligibility.)
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in
the United States and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THIS WARRANTY?
This limited warranty does not cover the
following:
• Tires submitted for ride disturbancecomplaints that are worn beyond the
first 2/32” (1.6 mm) tread depth or
tires submitted for ride disturbance
due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.

determine the pro-rata cost by
multiplying the percentage of the original
usable tread that has been worn by the
current dealer selling price.
When the treadwear indicators become
visible (2/32” tread depth remaining),
regardless of age or mileage, the tire is
considered to be 100% worn and will not
be covered by this Limited Warranty.
