Passenger & Light Truck Tire Limited Warranty
ELIGIBILITY
This warranty applies to the original purchaser of a replacement Starfire passenger or light truck tire and is not
transferable. Eligible tires must be purchased new and used on the vehicle which they were originally installed. Proof
of purchase is required for all warranty claims. Additionally, they must be the size, load index, and speed rating
equivalent or greater than that specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This warranty applies to the 48 contiguous
continental United States, District of Columbia and Canada. For warranty exclusions see “WHAT ISN’T COVERED”.
STARFIRE TIRES COVERAGE
All new replacement Starfire RS-C 2.0, SF340, SF510, SF510LT and WR are covered by this warranty.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Starfire warrants to the original purchaser that if a replacement Starfire tire becomes unserviceable due to an eligible
adjustable condition during the tread life (defined below), the tire will be replaced with an equivalent new Starfire Tire.
A replacement charge (defined below) will be required to obtain a replacement tire.
OTHER THAN FIRST QUALITY TIRES
Replacement Starfire passenger car and truck tires branded “BLEMISH” have the same warranty as first quality tires except
for ride complaints and the appearance or other conditions which caused the tires to be classified as other than first quality.
TREAD LIFE
When the tread becomes worn to 2/32" (1.6mm) anywhere on the tire (shown by tread wear indicators molded into
the tread grooves), the tire is worn out. No manufacturer or dealer can guarantee you a certain number of miles
from a given tire. Driving habits, driving conditions, tire and vehicle maintenance all play a part in the tread life of
a tire and all differ with each purchaser. WARNING—for important safety information, you must read the section
titled "Tire Service Life" and the Tire Safety Warnings section of this guide. Safety information is also located at
www.us.coopertire.com (and select: "Tire Safety); and, from your dealer.
REPLACEMENT CHARGE
The replacement charge will be determined by multiplying dealer’s current selling price by the percentage of original
tread depth worn from the tire. You must pay for mounting, balancing, and any other additional charges, such as taxes
or the acceptance of a higher priced replacement tire.
HOW TO OBTAIN AN ADJUSTMENT
Tire adjustments must be presented to your local Starfire dealer. You must present this booklet, proof of purchase
and be the original owner when requesting a replacement for your tire. See “WHERE TO GO FOR WARRANTY
REPLACEMENT”.
