MICHELIN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY WHO IS COVERED The owner of a Michelin Passenger or Light Truck tire which bears the Michelin name and complete DOT identification number. WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG Michelin 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, coverage will be based on date of manufacture. Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions described under ЉWhat Michelin Will DoЉ. 41 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). 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 Michelin 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 Michelin 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 or applicable taxes are payable by the user. WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO When making a claim under the terms of this limited warranty, the consumer must present the tire to an authorized Michelin Dealer. To locate an Authorized Tire Dealer, check the yellow pages under "Tire Dealers Retail." The vehicle on which the tire was used should be available for inspection. It is essential that you read and understand the safety and maintenance recommendations (see Safety Maintenance Information) for your tires.
