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" of usable
treadwear and is worn to 4/32" 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 be either 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") 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 disturbance complaints that are worn
beyond the first two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") tread depth or
tires submitted for ride disturbance due to damaged wheels or any
vehicle condition.
• Goodyear does not warrant or give credit in any adjustment
transaction for any kind of material added to a tire (e.g., tire fillers,
sealants, balancing substances) after the tire leaves a factory
producing Goodyear or Dunlop tires, nor will it adjust any tire that has
failed as a result of adding such material.
• Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condition of the vehicle,
improper inflation, overloading, high speed spin-up, misapplication,
misuse, negligence, racing, use of tire chains, improper mounting or
demounting, improper repair, wreck, collision or fire.
• Road hazards (includes, but is not limited to, punctures, cuts, snags,
impact breaks, etc.).
• Any tire that, after leaving a factory producing Goodyear or Dunlop
tires, has been intentionally altered to change its appearance (e.g.,
white inlay on a black tire or regrooved).
• Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased more than four (4)
years prior to presentation for adjustment or, if purchase date cannot
be verified, manufactured more than four years prior to presentation
for adjustment.
