(3) TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES A. BASIC COVERAGE Continental/General Tire brand Temporary Spare tires are covered by this Limited Warranty and Policy for a maximum of 72 months from date of purchase. If a Continental/General Tire brand Temporary Spare tire used in normal service becomes unserviceable from a condition other than those listed in Section 4 within the first 1/32nds of an inch (0.8 mm) of treadwear, the tire will be replaced with a new Continental/General Tire brand Temporary Spare free of charge, including mounting and balancing. Owner pays all applicable taxes. After the first 1/32nd of an inch (0.8 mm) of treadwear, the Limited Warranty and Policy coverage expires, no adjustments will be made. 3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS CALCULATED The replacement tire price will be determined by multiplying the percentage of the useable tread worn by the Dealers Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of the adjustment or the Continental/General Tire brand current published Adjustment Base Price, whichever is lower. The usable tread is the original tread down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread remaining). The Adjustment Base Price is intended to fairly represent a Dealers Selling Price for the same or comparable tire. 4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE ADJUSTMENT POLICY A. THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE NOT COVERED: • Repairs: If a tire is returned under complaint and the reason for the tire's disablement is any way associated with a repair or with the situation that led to the repair, the manufacturer's warranty is invalidated. • Road Hazard: Any tire with road hazard damage, except for those conditions and certain tire lines that fall within the terms of coverage of the Road Hazard Coverage set forth in Section 4. This includes, but is not limited to: cuts, snags, punctures, bruises, and impact breaks. • Ride Vibration: Any ride/vibration complaint after the first 2/32nds (1.6 mm) of an inch of treadwear or 12 months of service, whichever comes first. 10
