BFGOODRICH TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY WHO IS COVERED The owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light Truck tire which bears the BFGoodrich name and complete DOT identification number. WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG BFGoodrich Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in normal service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the owner's manual and in the Important Tire Safety Information Section of this booklet, are covered by this limited warranty against defects in workmanship and material for the life of the original usable tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied, are terminated. The usable tread is the original tread down to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is available, the date of manufacture, as molded on the sidewall, will be used. Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions described under ЉWhat BFGoodrich Will DoЉ. 19 WHAT IS NOT COVERED Tires which become unserviceable due to: ࡯ Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, or puncture, whether repairable or not); ࡯ Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or improper repair; ࡯ Misapplication, underinflation, overinflation, improper maintenance, racing 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 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) or more across the tread on the same tire) resulting in uneven or rapid wear; ࡯ Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism; ࡯ Ozone or weather cracking; ࡯ Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brakelock; ࡯ The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (e.g. waterbase sealers or balancing substances). WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DO PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this limited warranty will be replaced with a comparable new BFGoodrich tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to the user) and within 12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting and balancing of tires is included. The cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes are payable by the user. When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from date of purchase, the user must pay the cost of a comparable new BFGoodrich passenger or light truck replacement tire on a pro rata basis. The dealer shall determine the charge by multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current actual selling price at the adjustment location or the price on the current BFGoodrich Brand Base Price List, whichever is lower. This List is based on a predetermined price intended to fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire. The cost of mounting, balancing and any other service charges and applicable taxes are payable by the user. (Continued on next page)
