CONSUMER LIMITED WARRANTY FOR KUMHO
& MARSHAL BRAND PASSENGER & LIGHT TRUCK
REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT TIRES
I. WHAT IS WARRANTED AND WHO IS ELIGIBLE
UNDER THIS WARRANTY
Kumho Tire USA, Inc. 10299 6th Street, Rancho Cucamonga,
California 91730, warrants to the original consumer purchaser
that all Kumho replacement radial tires, either directly or
through an authorized Kumho dealer, and which are mounted
on cars within the United States and become unserviceable for
any reason within the manufacturer’s control, will be replaced
with an equivalent Kumho tire.
WHAT IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
AND FOR HOW LONG
Should any tire manufactured by Kumho Tire Co., Inc. covered
by this warranty become unserviceable due to a material
or workmanship condition during its usable tread life (more
than 2/32” remaining tread) before 6 years from the date
of manufacture or purchase date supported with proof of
purchase for every passenger and light truck tire (whichever
comes rst), and before 5 years (6 years for KLS02e, KLD01e,
and KLT02e patterns) from the date of manufacture or
purchase date for commercial truck tires (whichever comes
rst), Kumho will do either of the following:
A. During the rst 2/32” of the original usable tread, Kumho
will replace such tire with a comparable new Kumho or
Marshal tire free of charge. Applicable taxes on the new
tire and costs of mounting and balancing service are
payable by the owner.
B. After the rst 2/32” of the original usable tread, a credit
will be given toward the purchase of a comparable new
Kumho or Marshal tire to the original usable tread of
the new tire. Applicable taxes on the new tire and costs
of mounting and balancing service are payable by the
owner.
To obtain the credit percentage, please refer to the Adjustment
Credit Percentage Table on page 5 or utilize the
following example:
RTD = Remaining Tread Depth
OTD = Original Tread Depth
If RTD = 5/32” = 5 and OTD = 10/32” = 10,
the calculation is:
Remaining Usable Tread Depth (5-2)
=
3
= .375 = 38%
Original Usable Tread Depth (10-2) 8
C. Temporary Spare Tire
During the rst 1/32” of the original usable tread, Kumho
will replace such temporary tire with a comparable new
Kumho temporary tire free of charge. After the rst 1/32”
of the original usable tread, but less than 2/32”, a credit of
50% toward a comparable new Kumho temporary tire will
be given.
Applicable taxes and costs of mounting and balancing
services are payable by the owner.
D. Adjustment on ride complaint or out-of-round is allowed
only during the rst 2/32” of the original tread depth.
(Please refer to the Adjustment Credit Percentage Table
on page 5.)
The authorized Kumho or Marshal dealer will determine
the adjustment cost by multiplying the percentage of
the original usable tread worn, by the current Kumho
or Marshal dealer’s price list effective at the time of
adjustment.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
A. This limited warranty is applicable only in the United
States, and any tires used or equipped on a vehicle
registered or operated outside the United States are not

Blemished (Blem), or with DOT/serial numbers previously
cut will not be adjusted.
C. Any tire worn beyond the wear bars (less than 2/32”

D. The cost of applicable taxes, mounting and balancing
service and any other service charges.
