Temporary Spares
Michelin
®
temporary spare tires are covered by this warranty for 6 years from
the date of purchase or until the first 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of the
original tread is worn off. 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 date of manufacture. At that time, all warranties, express or
implied, expire.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or puncture);
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair;
Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, overinflation
or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle
such as wheel misalignment, (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6 mm) or more across the tread on the same tire);
Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
Use in commercial applications for treadwear;
Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brakelock;
The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen or
carbon dioxide (for example, waterbase sealers or balancing substances);
Ozone or weather checking;
Use of MICHELIN Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires without a properly
operating low air pressure warning system.
HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new Michelin tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch (1.6
mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less, whichever is more
beneficial to the user) and within 12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting
and balancing of the tire is included. You pay the cost of any other
service charges and applicable taxes.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of original tread has been worn
(or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to the user) or after 12
months from the date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a comparable new
Michelin
®
passenger or light truck replacement tire on a pro rata basis. The
retailer will determine the charge by multiplying the percentage of the original
