tread is the original tread down to the level of the tread wear indicators -
2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is
documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of
purchase is available, coverage will be based on the date of manufacture.
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 Michelin
®
. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for
further information.
NOTE: Some Michelin
®
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires can only be
mounted on special SH-M (Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels. These tires
bear the special SH-M designation, molded into the sidewall of the tire, next to
the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT A TIRE WITH THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON
THE SIDEWALL ON A STANDARD WHEEL. DOING SO VOIDS THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO BECOME UNSERVICEABLE AT
LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
Tread wear – mileage warranty coverage for MICHELIN
®
passenger and light truck tires:
MICHELIN
®
passenger and light truck tires are covered by a manufacturer’s
limited warranty for tread wear. Also please note that mileage warranties apply
to tires that come as original equipment on new vehicles purchased on or after
September 1, 2011 (model year 2011 and later). For the mileage warranty
associated with a specific tire line, please see your Michelin tire retailer or visit
us at www.michelinman.ca/promise. Some vehicles come from the vehicle
manufacturer with “split fitments” – meaning different size tires on the front
and rear axles. Because these tires cannot be rotated as recommended by
Michelin, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover half the number of
kilometers as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire design.
MICHELIN
®
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires have the same mileage
warranty as the standard tire line of which they are a part, up to but not
exceeding 50,000 kilometers. DOT-approved competition tires (e.g., MICHELIN
®
Pilot
®
Sport Cup tires) are excluded from any mileage warranty. MICHELIN
®
winter tires must be used during winter months only, defined as a period
beginning on or after September 1 of a given year and ending no later than
April 30 of the following year. MICHELIN
®
winter tires require documentation
of the timing of the installation and removal of the tires each winter to maintain
coverage under the limited warranty for tread wear.
An important reminder:
No tire manufacturer can unconditionally guarantee you a certain number of
kilometers from a given tire. Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions,
and vehicle maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a tire does
