No tire manufacturer can guarantee you a certain number of miles from
a given tire. Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and
vehicle and tire maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a
tire does not reach the warranted mileage, and the owner of the tires has
complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty, BFGoodrich®
brand will replace the tires as follows:
If, within 6 years of the date of purchase, your BFGoodrich® brand
mileage tires wear evenly across the tread, down to the treadwear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) before providing the
warranted miles of service as indicated on the properly functioning
vehicle odometer, they will be replaced with comparable new
BFGoodrich® tires for a pro rata charge based on the actual mileage
received. See “
How Replacement Charges are Calculated — Mileage
Tires
” later in this guide.
You pay the cost of mounting, balancing, and any other service
charges and applicable taxes.
Tires which wear out evenly before delivering the warranted mileage will
be replaced on a pro rata basis only if:
1. You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own the vehicle on
which they were originally installed, and the tires have been used only
on that vehicle;
2. The tires have been rotated and inspected by a participating
BFGoodrich® tire retailer, and the rotation service record in the
Scheduled Maintenance guide has been fully completed and signed;
3. The completed rotation service record, Original Owner/Tire Installation
Information form, and new vehicle registration are presented to a
participating BFGoodrich® tire retailer/authorized dealer at the time of
adjustment claim; and
4. The tires have not become unserviceable due to a condition listed
under WHAT IS NOT COVERED following.
DEFINITIONS
The “legal life of the tire” is six years from the date of purchase or the life
of the “usable tread”, which is defined as the original tread worn down to
the level of the treadwear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread
remaining, whichever comes first. The date of purchase is documented by a
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.”
