COVERAGE
BRIDGESTONE
Platinum Pact Limited Warranty
The Platinum Pact Limited Warranty covers all Bridgestone
brand passenger and light truck tires—except winter, and
“temporary use” spare tires. A tire covered by the Platinum
Pact Limited Warranty will be replaced with an equivalent
new tire either free of charge or for a pro-rated amount if
the tire becomes unusable for any reason within the manu-
facturer’s control under the following conditions:
• The free tire replacement period extends up to (a) 3
years from the date of purchase—proof of purchase date
required, or (b) 4 years from the date of tire manufacture
without proof of purchase date. During this period, the
tire will be replaced free of charge (including mounting
and balancing). You may be charged applicable taxes, the
cost of valve stems, and disposal fees.
• After the free tire replacement period, coverage ex-
tends up to (a) 5 years from the date of purchase—proof
of purchase date required, ,or (b) 6 years from the date of
tire manufacture without proof of purchase date. During
this period, the tire will be replaced but there will be a
pro-rated charge. To determine the replacement price,
the percent of tread wear is multiplied by DEALER’S
then current selling price for the replacement tire(s).
The appropriate taxes, mounting, balancing, disposal
fees, and other service charges may be added to the
replacement price.
• The tire must not be worn to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or
less remaining original tread depth (i.e. worn down to the
top of the built-in indicators in the tread grooves).
• Exclusions apply—as identi ed in the section “What
This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover.”
Winter, and “Temporary Use” Spare Tires
A Bridgestone brand, winter, or “temporary use” spare tire
will be replaced with an equivalent new tire for
a pro-rated purchase price if the tire becomes unusable for
any reason within the manufacturer’s control under the fol-
lowing conditions:
• There is no free replacement period.
• Coverage extends up to 5 years from the date of
purchase—proof of purchase date required. Without
proof of purchase date, then 6 years from the date of tire
manufacture. During this period, the tire will be replaced
for a pro-rated amount. To determine the replacement
price, the percent of used treadwear is multiplied by
DEALER’S then current selling price for the replace-
ment tire(s). The appropriate taxes, mounting, balancing,
disposal fees, and other service charges may be added to
the replacement price.
