More Details

This road hazard warranty is made by the independent repair facility from which you purchased the tires. This limited road hazard warranty applies to the tires, original purchaser and the original vehicle identified on the receipt. This limited road hazard warranty only applies to passenger and light truck tires, which, during its tread life or within the covered period of time, becomes unserviceable because of a road hazard. The road hazard warranty is optional protection that must be purchased and must appear on your receipt. A road hazard occurs when a tire fails due to a puncture, bruise or break incurred during the course of normal driving on a maintained road. Nails, glass, and potholes would be the most common examples.

WHAT YOU MUST DO TO OBTAIN SERVICE:

If possible you should return to the facility where you originally purchased this warranty. If you are away from the original facility, you must contact the program administrator by calling 866-830-4189 for assistance in locating the nearest participating facility. YOU MUST PRESENT THE ORIGINAL INVOICE SHOWING THE PURCHASE OF THE TIRE(S) AND THE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY. Prior authorization must be obtained to replace a tire damaged by a road hazard. The damaged tire must be made available for inspection by the facility and/or the program administrator. All claims and any required documentation must be submitted to the facility or the administrator within 60 days of the date of failure and/or service.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THE LIMITED ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY:

The road hazard warranty is valid for a period of 3 years or until any portion of the tire is worn to 2/32 of an inch or less, whichever occurs first. Tire Replacement: If a tire becomes unserviceable because of a road hazard during the useable tread life of the tire, it will be replaced with a new tire. If available, an exact make/model replacement tire will be installed. If not available, a comparable quality tire will be installed. If the tire failure occurs within the first 33% of useable treadwear, and cannot be safely repaired per manufacturer’s guidelines, the tire will be replaced with coverage up to 100% of the original price paid for the tire. After the first 33% of useable treadwear, you will be charged for the consumed useable treadwear on the original tire, times the original selling price of the tire. You will be responsible for any taxes, mounting, balancing, and any other miscellaneous fees. When the tread is worn down to 2/32” the tire is considered worn out and is not eligible for adjustment. If you want road hazard coverage on the replacement tire, you must purchase road hazard protection for the new tire. Tire Repair: If your tire is damaged due to a road hazard and can be safely repaired, the tire will be repaired per manufacturer’s guidelines at any participating facility. The warranty will cover up $20.00 to have the tire repaired. The road hazard warranty will remain in effect.
