Owner is responsible for paying all
applicable taxes charged by the servicing
dealer and is also responsible for paying
shipping, local tire-disposal fees and
parts or service regardless of mileage or
months of service. This includes payment
for tire rotation, alignment, towing, road
service, valve stems and tire repairs.
Owner is responsible for maintaining
proper tire air pressure and for proper
maintenance of the tire.
SAFETY WARNING
Ignoring any of the safety and
information contained in this Warranty
may result in tire failure , causing serious
injury or death.
•Tire failure due to under inflation
/overloading. Follow vehicle owner’s
manual or tire placard in vehicle for
proper inflation and loading
• Explosion of tire/rim assembly due
to improper tire mounting. Tire
mounting/ demounting can be
dangerous. It should be performed
only by a trained tire specialist using
proper tools and procedures. Prior to
tire mounting/demounting, the
Rubber Manufacturers Association
(RMA) wall charts and manuals
should be read to obtain the proper
procedures. The failure to follow
these procedures may result in faulty
positioning of the tire and/or rim, that
may cause the assembly to burst with
force sufficient to cause injury or
death •
Tire failure due to damage. Inspect
your tires frequently for scrapes,
bulges, separations, cuts, snags and
other damage from road hazards.
Damage from impact can occur to the
inner portions of your tire without
being visible to the outside. If you
suspect a tire has been damaged from
striking anything unusual in the road,
you must have the tire removed from
the rim and inspected both inside and
out by a trained tire specialist. Air loss
or unusual tire wear can also be
warning signs that a tire may have
internal damage. If you notice these
conditions, have your tire inspected by
a trained individual.
• Tire failure due to excessive tire
spinning. Avoid tire spinning. The
centrifugal force generated by a
free-spinning tire/rim assembly may
cause a sudden tire explosion resulting
in vehicle damage and/or serious injury
or death. Never exceed 35 mph
(55 km/h) as indicated on your
speedometer when your vehicle is
stuck in snow, mud, or sand and your
tire(s) is/are spinning. Use a gentle
backward and forward rocking motion
to free your vehicle for continued
driving. Never stand or permit anyone
else to stand near or behind a tire
spinning while attempting to push a
vehicle that is stuck.

FOR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES (INCLUDING
TEMPORARY TIRE)
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR
HOW LONG
Hankook warrants that a tire
manufactured by Hankook and equipped
originally on the vehicle is free from
defects in materials or workmanship in
normal use for the life of the original
usable tread. The life of the original
usable tread ends when the tire tread has
been worn down with only 2/32”
(1.6 mm) remaining, at which point the
tire is considered to be fully worn out.
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES
A. Free replacementIf Hankook Radial Passenger &
Light Truck Tires fail as a result of
defect in material and/or
workmanship within the first 25%
of treadwear, the tire will be
replaced with a new, comparable
Hankook tire at no charge including
mounting and balancing charges. B. Prorated replacement
Tires not qualifying for free
replacement will be allowed a credit
toward purchase of a new,
comparable Hankook Tire Based
upon the amount of tread actually
worn. The cost of mounting,
balancing and any other service
charges of Applicable taxes shall be
paid by the user. Otherwise
adjustment for compensation will be
made on a prorated basis calculated
by multiplying the actual dealer
selling price by the percentage of
remaining usable tread depth.
HANKOOK TEMPORARY TIRE
A.A Temporary tire weighs less and
provides more trunk storage space
than a conventional tire. To conserve
tire tread life, temporary tire should
be returned to the trunk as soon as it
is convenient to have your standard
tire repaired or replaced.
B.If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a
result of defect in materials and/or
workmanship during the first 50% of
usable treadwear, the tire will be
replaced with a new, comparable tire
at no charge including mounting
charge. No adjustment will be made
for tires that are worn more than
50%.

GENERAL LIMITED
WARRANTY TERMS
As the original purchaser of Linglong®
new passenger and light truck tires which
are mounted on cars or light trucks within
the U.S.A. and have complete DOT tire
identification numbers, you are covered
by Linglong®’s limited warranty subject
to the maintenance recommendations,
safety warnings and terms and
conditions set forth below. Please read
the following carefully to ensure your
understanding of and compliance with
the terms and conditions of this limited
warranty.
WHAT IS WARRANTED AND
FOR HOW LONG
Should any passenger or light truck tire
manufactured by Linglong Tire covered by
this warranty and used in normal service
on the vehicle on which they were
originally fitted and in accordance with the
maintenance recommendations an safety
warnings, become unserviceable due to
defects in materials or workmanship
during its useable tread life (more than
2/32” remaining tread), or five years from
date of manufacture, or six years from date
of purchase, whichever comes first (at that
time, all warranties, express or implied,
expire), Linglong Tire will do either of the
following:
• During the first 2/32” of the originalusable tread, Linglong will replace
such tire with a comparable new
Linglong tire, free of charge, mounting
and balancing included. Applicable
taxes on the new tire and any other
charges in connection with the
replacement of the tire are payable by
the owner. • After the first 2/32” of the original
usable tread, a credit will be offered
toward the purchase price of a
comparable new Linglong tire at the
time of adjustment. The amount of the
credit will be determined by
multiplying the purchase price of a
comparable new Linglong tire by the
percentage of original tread depth
remaining on the tire. Applicable taxes
on the new tire and costs of mounting
and balancing and any other charges
in connection with the replacement of
the tire are payable by the owner.
• Some Linglong® tires are covered by a manufacturer’s limited mileage
warranty. If such a tire does not reach
the warrantied mileage under the
normal passenger use, and the owner
of the tire has complied with the terms
and conditions of the mileage
warranty, the owner will be
compensated of the original purchase
price prorated to the percentage of the
warranted miles not received.
(For applicable tire, please refer to
www.linglong.cn).
• Adjustment on ride complaint or out of round is allowed only during the first
2/32” of the original tread depth.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
This limited warranty does not apply to
tires which are being serviced under the
following conditions:
• Purchase or used outside of the UnitedStates of America.
• Any tire worn beyond its useable tread life (less than 2/32” remaining tread).
• Ozone or weather cracking on tires over four (4) years old from the date of
manufacture.

TIRE TREADWEAR
INDICATORS “WEAR BARS”
Most tires contain wear indicators “Wear
Bar” in the grooves of the tire tread which
show up when only 2/32” (1.6 mm) of
tread is remaining. At this stage, your tires
must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this
stage are extremely dangerous.
WARNING!
Tires degrade over time depending
on many factors such as weather,
storage conditions, and conditions
of use (load, speed, inflation
pressure, etc.) the tires experience
throughout their lives. In general,
tires should be replaced after six
years regardless of tread wear.
However, heat caused by hot
climates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the aging
process and may require tires to be
replaced more frequently.
You should replace your spare tire
when you replace the road tires or
after six years due to aging even if it
has not been used.
DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVING
ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE
IS DANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of your tires is
molded on the tire sidewall. Do not
exceed this rating. Follow the loading
instructions of the manufacturer of your
vehicle and this will ensure that your tires
are not overloaded. Tires which are
loaded beyond their maximum allowable
loads for the particular application willbuild up excessive heat that may result in
sudden tire destruction. Do not exceed
the gross axle weight rating for any axle
on your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you
should visit a tire retailer for advice
concerning the correct size tire and
pressures. Tire size and pressures will
depend upon the type and size of trailer
and hitch utilized, but in no case must the
maximum cold inflation pressure or tire
load rating be exceeded. Check the tire
decal and the owner’s manual supplied by
the manufacturer of your vehicle for
further recommendations on trailer
towing.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND
BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT
FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM
MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE
WEARING AT LEAST ONCE
EACH MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as
the inside shoulder of the tire wearing
faster than the rest of the tread, or if you
detect excessive vibration, your vehicle
may be out of alignment or balance.
These conditions not only shorten the life
of your tires but adversely affect the
handling characteristics of your vehicle,
which could be dangerous. If you detect
irregular wear or vibration, have your
alignment and balance checked
immediately. Tires which have been run
underinflated will show more wear on the
shoulders than in the center of the tread.
