to tires on your new vehicle. The New
Vehicle Limited Warranty covers tire
defects in factory supplied material or
workmanship for 100% of labor costs
and on a prorated adjustment basis for
parts. (See the reimbursement schedule
below).
For vehicles within the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty time in service and
mileage coverage period, defective tires
will be replaced on a prorated
adjustment basis according to the
following mileage-based Reimbursement
Schedule:

you with a separate tire warranty that
may extend beyond the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty coverage. You will find
the manufacturer’s tire warranty with the
owner literature supplied with your vehicle
or in this guide if it has been provided to
Ford with a request to publish. You have
the option of having a tire warranty repair
performed by the tire manufacturer’s
authorized service center. If you go to a
tire service center for a repair covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, you
may be charged a prorated amount for
wear or other charges. If so, you should
present your paid invoice detailing the
nature of the charges to any Ford Motor
Company dealership for refund
consideration. When making warranty
repairs on your vehicle, the dealer will use
Ford or Motorcraft parts or
remanufactured or other parts that are
authorized by Ford. In certain instances,
Ford may authorize repairs at other than
Ford dealer facilities. Tire replacements
under warranty will be made with the
same brand and model as originally
equipped with the vehicle unless the
same brand and model is no longer
available, in which case a tire of the same
brand, size, load, speed and tread type
will be used. In some circumstances, Ford
may authorize another brand and/or
model to substitute for the original brand
and model, even if still available.
Refer to your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Guide for complete coverage details.

purchase date required; without proof of
purchase date, then within 12 months
from the date of tire manufacture),
whichever occurs first. During the free
replacement period, mounting and

replacement tire(s). The appropriate
taxes, mounting, balancing, disposal fee,
and other service charges may be added
to the adjustment replacement price.

dealerships (subject to dealer discretion)

manufacturer’s warranty, if any, given on
that tire at that time.

ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a
BFGoodrich® brand passenger or light
truck tire, you are encouraged to read this
booklet carefully to determine which
warranty coverages apply to the specific
tires that you own. Please also pay close
attention to the Owner’s Manual since it
provides essential safety and
maintenance information.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR
HOW LONG
Workmanship and Materials
BFGoodrich brand passenger and light
truck tires, used in normal service on the
vehicle on which they were originally
fitted and in accordance with the
maintenance recommendations and
safety warnings contained in the
attached owner’s manual, are covered by
this warranty against defects in
workmanship and materials for the life of
the original usable tread, or six years
from the date of purchase, whichever
comes first. At that time, all warranties,
express or implied, expire. The life of the
original usable tread is the original tread
down to the level of the treadwear
indicators - 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is
documented by 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”.
NOTE:Your vehicle manufacturer may
provide additional tire warranty coverage
over and above what is provided by
BFGoodrich. Consult your vehicle owner’s
information for further information.
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, over-inflation 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 2/32”
(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.
• The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen or
carbon dioxide (for example, water
base sealers or balancing substances).
• Ozone or weather checking.
HOW REPLACEMENT
CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck
Tires Workmanship/Materials
A tire which becomes unserviceable due
to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited
warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new BFGoodrich brand tire,
free of charge, when 2/32” (1.6 mm) or
less of the original tread is worn, (or 25%
or less, whichever is more beneficial to
BFGoodrich
9

you) and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. The cost of mounting and
balancing the tire is included.Yo u p a y
the cost of any other service charges
and applicable taxes. When more than
2/32” (1.6 mm) of the original tread has
been worn (or more than 25%, whichever
is more beneficial to you) or after
12 months from the date of purchase, you
must pay the cost of a comparable new
BFGoodrich brand passenger or light
truck replacement tire on a prorated
basis. The retailer/authorized dealer will
determine the charge by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread
worn by the current selling price at the
adjustment location or the price on the
current BFGoodrich brand Base Price List,
whichever is lower. This list is based on a
predetermined price intended to fairly
represent the actual selling price of the
tire. You pay the cost of mounting,
balancing, and any other service
charges and applicable taxes.
WHAT YOU MUST DO WHEN
MAKING A CLAIM

this limited warranty you must present
your tire(s) to a participating BFGoodrich

Dealers-Retail”. Personal identification

CONDITIONS AND
EXCLUSIONS
This limited warranty does not provide
compensation for loss of time, loss of use
of vehicle, inconvenience or incidental or
consequential damages. Some states do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of

apply to you. Tires presented for claim

rights which vary from state to state.
