KUMHO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY J. No Mileage Warranty for Original tires. ● GENERAL EXCLUSIONS K. No Kumho Tire employee, retailer or dealer has the authority to make any warranty, representation, promise or agreement on behalf of Kumho Tire except as stated in this policy. L. Tires used in racing related activities or competitive events are not covered by this warranty. M. Limitation of remedy: to the extent permitted by law, Kumho disclaims liability for all consequential and incidental damages. Some provinces and states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have the rights which vary from province to province in Canada, and from state to state in the U.S.A. 39 WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY ● ● TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause tire beads to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on the rim, causing personal injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber Manufacturers Association installation and safety procedure for mounting and inflating tires. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by manufacturer's design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended pressure to seat beads on rim. Use remote control inflation equipment and inflation cage. ● 3. KUMHO OBLIGATIONS Replacement qualifying under this warranty will be made by a participating Kumho Dealer or a participating Car Dealer. 4. OWNER'S OBLIGATIONS A. You must present the tire to a participating Kumho Dealer or a participating Car Dealer. B. For free replacement, a proof of purchase date such as car dealer invoice should be presented. C. No claim will be recognized unless submitted on a Kumho claim form completely filled out and signed by the owner or a participating Kumho Dealer or Car Dealer. NOTE: Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads. Mount radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel manufacturer as suitable for radial tire. Only specially trained persons shall mount tires. ● AIR PRESSURE Check the pressure in your tires, including your spare, at least monthly, and always before and during extended driving, when tires cold (at least 3 hours after the vehicle has been stopped and before it is driven more than 1 mile / 1.6 kilometers). Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot, use an accurate air pressure gauge to check pressure and maintain it at the level recommended on the vehicle tire placard or in the Owner's Manual. Underinflation produces extreme flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that premature tire failure may occur. Overinflation can cause the tires 'to be more susceptible to impact damage. Cold tire pressures," however, should never be higher than the limit molded on the sidewall. ● ● LOAD LIMITS Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto the sidewall of your tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the vehicle tire placard, whichever is less. Overloading builds up excessive heat in the tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure. HAZARDS Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks, curbs, metal, glass, etc.) which may possibly cause internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has suffered internal damage (which may not be externally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination of suspected internal damage requires demounting the tire from its rim and examination by trained tire personnel. WORN TIRES Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained personnel when 2/32nds inch (1.6mm) of remaining tread depth, as indicated by treadwear indicators molded into the tread grooves. Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32nds of an inch remaining tread depth) increases the probability of tire failure. In most states, it is illegal to drive with less than 2/32nds of an inch of remaining tread depth. SPEED LIMITS Operating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed limits or the maximum speeds justified by driving conditions can be dangerous. Excessive speed creates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire failure. (Continued on next page)
