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%.

SAFETY MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Improper tire mounting and inflation
and overloading may cause serious
injury or property damage. Maxxis
recommends that you read and follow
all safety information contained in
the tire safety inf ormation section of
this booklet, vehicle placard in the
Vehicle and/or the Vehicle Owner’s
Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found
on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following:
• Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an accurate tire air
pressure gauge. Do not reduce
pressure when tires are hot. Proper
inflation is essential. Under inflation
produces flexing of the sidewalls and
builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Over
inflation can cause the tire to be more
susceptible to impact damage.
• Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and
maximum inflation pressure are
molded into the sidewall of your tire.
Overloading builds up excessive heat
and can lead to early tire failure.
• Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and curbs)
which may cause internal tire
damage. Continued use of a tire that
has suffered internal damage, which
may not be visible externally, can lead
to dangerous tire failure.
Determination of internal damage will
require dismounting of the tire and
examination by trained tire personnel. • Improper tire mounting and inflation
procedures may cause the tire beads
to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim. Tire
and rim must match in size. Rim parts
must match by manufacturer’s design.
Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads.
Do not exceed the maximum
recommended pressure to seat the
beads. Only trained tire personnel
should mount tires.
• Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32” [1.6 mm] of tread depth) increases the
probability of tire failure.
• Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire failure.
• Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
(8,000 to 12,000 kilometers).
• The Maxxis brand temporary spare tire weighs less than a conventional radial
tire. The temporary tire should be used
only in emergencies and returned to
the trunk as soon as it is convenient to
have your standard tire repaired or
replaced.
