CONDITIONS and EXCLUSIONS
To the extent permitted by law, Bridgestone Americas Tire
Operations, LLC disclaims all other warranties, including
but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability
and  tness for a particular purpose and any liability for
incidental and consequential damages, loss of time, loss of
vehicle use, or inconvenience. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not ap-
ply to you.
This Limited Warranty applies only to consumers using the

the United States, see your local Bridgestone or Firestone
distributor.
Obligations under this policy may not be enlarged or
altered by anyone.
In accordance with Federal Law, this Limited Warranty has
been designated as a “Limited Warranty.” Nothing in this
Limited Warranty is intended to be a representation that tire
failures cannot occur. This Limited Warranty is given by

Dr., Nashville, TN 37214.
OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
In order to keep this Limited Warranty valid, we require
you to have your tires regularly inspected and rotated
per the recommendations outlined in the sections of this
manual entitled “Tire Damage, Inspection and Service
Life” and “Radial Tire Rotation” and to furnish proof of
same in order to receive an adjustment. Such proof should
show the date, mileage, and servicing location. A sales
receipt containing this information will suf ce. In addition,
a “Maintenance Record” is included in this manual.
Tires must be operated at the proper tire in ation pressures
as speci ed by the vehicle manufacturer and within tire/
vehicle load capacity and speed limitations. It is also your
obligation to maintain proper wheel alignment and tire/
wheel assembly balance.
To request an adjustment, you must present the tire to an
authorized retailer. Complete and sign the customer section
of the Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC Limited
