BFGOODRICHா TIRES ABOUT THIS WARRANTY As the original purchaser of a BFGoodrich brand passenger or light truck tire, you are encouraged to read this booklet carefully to determine which warranty coverages apply to the specific tires that you own. Please also pay close attention to the Owner's Manual part of this booklet since it provides essential safety and maintenance information. WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG Workmanship and materials BFGoodrich brand 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 attached owner's manual, are covered by this warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable tread, or six years from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire. The life of the original usable tread is the original tread down to the level of the treadwear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new vehicle registration. 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 "How Replacement Charges are Calculated". Note: your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional tire warranty coverage over and above what is provided by BFGoodrich. Consult your vehicle owner's information for further information. 2
