MICHELIN
®
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK
REPLACEMENT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the terms and
conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully. It is essential that you
also read and understand the safety and maintenance recommendations
for tires contained in this Owner’s Manual.
This warranty covers the original purchaser of MICHELIN
®
passenger and
light truck replacement tires.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
MICHELIN passenger and light truck replacement tires
that are used in normal service on the vehicle on which
they were originally fitted are covered as follows:
Workmanship and Materials
If there is a defect in workmanship and materials during the life of the
original usable tread, or six (6) years from date of purchase (whichever
comes first), your tire may be replaced on a pro rata basis under this
warranty. After six (6) years or the wear of the original usable tread,
whichever occurs first, all warranties, expressed or implied, expire.
The “date of purchase” refers to the date on your sales invoice. If you
cannot find your sales invoice, the date will be calculated based on the
date of manufacture which is molded on the sidewall of your tire.
The “life of the usable tread” refers to the original tread worn down
evenly across the face of the tread to the level of the treadwear
indicators, which is 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
Uneven wear is defined as a tread groove difference of 2/32nds of an
inch or more across the face of the tread on the same tire.
Treadwear
If the tire treadwear does not reach its mileage warranty a pro rata
replacement of the tire may be available under this warranty. For the
mileage warranty associated with a specific tire, please see your Michelin
tire retailer or visit www.michelinman.com/promise.
In order to maintain the treadwear warranty on your tires, the tires
must be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 -12,000 km), or as
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, whichever rotation period
is less. Failure to rotate the tires as provided herein voids the treadwear
warranty.
Note that if you use different size tires on the front and rear axles your
tires cannot be rotated as recommended by Michelin. As a result, the
mileage warranty on each rear tire will be half that specified.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
This warranty does not cover tires damaged due to
misuse, abuse or accident such as:
– Road hazards (e.g., cuts, snags, bruises, impact damage or punctures);
– Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair;
– Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, overinflation
or other abuse;
– Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in the
vehicle such as wheel misalignment, (a measured tread difference of
