Limited Mileage Warranty

This Limited Mileage Warranty applies to all new consumer (PCR/LTR) tires purchased on or after January 1, 2012, sold or distributed under the GT Radial brand bearing the corresponding D.O.T. tire identification number. The following GT Radial brand pattern designs are covered by a limited warranty for tread wear as follows:

Eligibility

To be eligible, the consumer (PCR/LTR) tire must meet the following criteria:

• Purchased in the United States or Canada
• Used in normal service on the vehicle on which it was originally fitted
• Maintained in accordance with the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the vehicle’s original owner’s manual for the life of the original usable tread, or 60 months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire
• The tire is of the correct size and load rating for the make and type of vehicle
• The tire has been used on road surfaces for which the tire has been designed
• The tire is not subject to exclusion (see Section “What is not covered by the Limited Mileage Warranty”)

Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and vehicle maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a tire does not reach the warranted mileage, and the owner of the tire has complied with the terms and conditions of the Limited Mileage Warranty, GT Radial will replace the tire as follows:

If the eligible tire wears out (down to 2/32 of an inch remaining tread depth), before warranty miles are achieved, as measured on the properly functioning odometer of the vehicle under normal passenger car, SUV/CUV, or Light Truck use, GT Radial will make an allowance for the difference of the warrantied mileage versus the actual mileage achieved toward the purchase of a comparable new GT Radial brand tire, prorated on warranted mileage.

The Authorized Dealer will calculate the replacement allowance by multiplying the percentage of the warranted mileage not received by the retailer’s selling price at the time and place of the adjustment.

What is not covered by the Limited Mileage Warranty

• Tires of incorrect size or load rating for the vehicle
• Tires not rotated in accordance with the prescribed rotation patterns and mileage levels as recommended by either the vehicle manufacturer or GT Radial
• Tires damaged due to road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or puncture)
• Improper use or operation, including: improper inflation pressure, overloading, curbing, use of improper rim or wheel, improper mounting or demounting, tire/wheel spinning, misuse, misapplication, negligence, tire alteration, or use in competition or racing
• Tires used in commercial applications including, but not limited to, police, taxi service, national account, government, or contract sales
• Tires installed on any vehicle other than the vehicle on which the tires were originally installed
• Improper maintenance of tire, wheel or vehicle components: misalignment, imbalance, worn components, or other vehicle conditions, characteristics or defects
• Highway tires that are operated in on-off highway applications
• Tires subjected to severe under-inflated or run-flat conditions
• Improperly repaired tire
• Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment, (measured tread difference of 2/32 inch or more across the tread on the same tire)
• Tires damaged by an accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism
• Tires which have flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake lock
• Contamination or degradation by petroleum products or other chemicals, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (for example, water based sealers or balancing substances)

• Purchased or used outside the United States or Canada
