TIRES COVERED BY THIS
WARRANTY AND FOR HOW LONG?
A.Subject to the limitations contained in this Limited Warranty, our APLUS Passenger and Light Truck tires are warranted under this Limited Warranty against failures due to defective material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the date of tire manufacture. The manufacture date is determined by the Date Code/Curing # - described below in detail. A tire that fails due to defective material and workmanship within five (5) years from the date of tire manufacture is sometimes referred to as "defective tire".
A Tire is eligible for warranty coverage under this Limited Warranty only if the original owner and consumer presents the tire within five (5) years of tire manufacture date, the tire has a minimum of 2/32nd inch of tire tread depth remaining, and all steps and procedures in this limited warranty are followed.
Subject to the limitations contained in this Limited Warranty, if an APLUS tire fails due to defective material or workmanship during the first 10 % of treadwear. The tire will be replaced with a new comparable APLUS tire without charge.
After the first 2/32" (1.6mm) wear, a prorated adjustment credit to the customer will be given based on the percentage of remaining usable tread depth, down to the remaining 2/32" (1.6mm) wear bars, at which point no credit is due. For example, if 60 % of the original tread remains on the defective tire, you will be entitled to a 60 % discount off the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of a new comparable APLUS tire. You are responsible for all labor cost for mounting and balancing and for applicable taxes.
B.Road hazard failure within 2 years or 50% tread depth whichever comes first. "Road hazard failure" is defined as a tire that becomes unserviceable due to cuts, non-repairable punctures or impact damage.
OUT-OF-ROUND or OUT-OF-BALANCE claims will be accepted for adjustment only during the first 2/32" (1.6mm) of the original tread depth, and tires will be replaced free of charge with comparable APLUS tires. A set of four (4) tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted for out-of-round or out-of-balance claims.
WHAT ISN'T COVERED
Adjustments will not be made for:
Tires rendered unserviceable by a result of an obstruction on the vehicle.
