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.
