After The Free Replacement
Period
The tire (except temporary spare tire)
may still be eligible for a pro rata
replacement for 72 months from date of
original purchase until the tread is worn
down to the tread wear indicators

remaining.) If an eligible tire becomes
unserviceable under the stipulations of
this Limited Warranty and Adjustment
policy it will be replaced charging the
owner a pro-rated amount. Owner pays
all applicable taxes (including F.E.T.),
mounting and balancing charges.
The replacement tire price will be
determined by multiplying the
percentage of the useable tread worn by

original tread down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm
of tread remaining.)
