2 MICHELIN ® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK REPLACEMENT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY & TREADWEAR WARRANTY To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the terms and conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully. It is essential that you also read and understand the safety and maintenance recommendations for tires contained in this Owner's Manual. This warranty covers the original purchaser of MICHELIN ® passenger and light truck replacement tires. WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG? MICHELIN passenger and light truck replacement tires that are used in normal service on the vehicle on which they were originally tted are covered as follows: Workmanship and Materials If there is a defect in workmanship and materials during the life of the original usable tread, or six (6) years from date of purchase (whichever comes rst), your tire may be replaced on a pro rata basis under this warranty. After six (6) years or the wear of the original usable tread, whichever occurs rst, all warranties, expressed or implied, expire. The "date of purchase" refers to the date on your sales invoice. If you cannot nd your sales invoice, the date will be calculated based on the date of manufacture which is molded on the sidewall of your tire. The "life of the usable tread" refers to the original tread worn down evenly, shoulder to shoulder circumferentially, to the level of the treadwear indicators, which is 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Uneven wear is dened as wear of one area, faster than the adjacent tread. Treadwear The "life of the usable tread" refers to the original tread worn down evenly, shoulder to shoulder circumferentially, to the level of the treadwear indicators, which is 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Uneven wear is dened as wear of one area, faster than the adjacent tread. If the tire treadwear does not reach its mileage warranty a pro rata replacement of the tire may be available under this warranty. Tire must be evenly worn with a tread groove difference less than 2/32 of an inch, from shoulder to shoulder. In order to maintain the treadwear warranty on your tires, the tires must be rotated every 6,000 - 8,000 miles (10,000 -12,000 km), or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, whichever rotation period is less. Failure to rotate the tires as provided herein voids the treadwear warranty. Note that if you use different size tires on the front and rear axles, your tires cannot be rotated as recommended by Michelin. As a result, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will be half that specied. For the Mileage warranty associated with a specic tire, please see your Michelin tire retailer or visit https://www.michelinman. com/auto/assistance/warranty. WHAT IS NOT COVERED This warranty does not cover tires damaged due to misuse, abuse or accident such as: – Road hazards (e.g., cuts, snags, bruises, impact damage or punctures); – Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair; – Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underination, overination or other abuse;
