UNIROYAL� TIGER PAW�
TIRES WITH NAILGARD� - WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Workmanship and
Materials
Uniroyal� NailGard� self-sealing passenger 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 six years from the date of purchase, or if proof of purchase is
not available, six years from the date of manufacture, as imprinted on the
sidewall of the tire. At that time this Uniroyal� Tiger Paw� Tires with
NailGard� Limited Warranty and all other warranties, express or implied expire.
Tread Puncture Limited
Warranty
The Uniroyal� Tiger Paw� Tire with NailGard� has a sealant material covering its
inner liner at the tread area. This sealant is designed to seal punctures to the
tread that are 3/16ths of an inch or less in diameter. No tire is immune to
having a complete loss of air. However, if your Uniroyal� Tiger Paw� Tire with
NailGard� does not seal during the legal life of the tire, *Uniroyal� will
replace the tire, free of charge. (* See definitions)
UNIROYAL� OFFERS THIS
TREAD PUNCTURE REPLACEMENT LIMITED WARRANTY SOLELY AS A CONVENIENCE TO ITS
CUSTOMERS. UNIROYAL� MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR PROMISE THAT UNIROYAL� TIGER
PAW� TIRES WITH NAILGARD� WILL SEAL TREAD PUNCTURES GREATER THAN 3/16" IN
DIAMETER.
80,000 Mile Treadwear
Limited Warranty
If, within six years of the
date of purchase, your Tiger Paw� Tire with NailGard� wears evenly across the
tread down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nds of an inch tread remaining)
before providing 80,000 miles of service, it will be replaced with a comparable
tire on a pro rata basis, calculated on mileage obtained. Uniroyal� Tiger Paw�
Tires with NailGard� which wear out evenly before providing 80,000 miles of
service will be replaced under the terms and conditions of this limited warranty
only if:
1) You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own the vehicle on which
they were originally installed, and the tires have been used only on that
vehicle;
2) The tires have been rotated and inspected by a participating Uniroyal�
retailer every 7,500 miles, and the attached NailGard� Rotation Service Record
has been fully completed and signed;
3) The completed service record, Original Owner/Tire Installation Information
form, and a copy of the original invoice are presented to a participating
Uniroyal� retailer at the time of adjustment claim; and
4) The tires have not become unserviceable due to a condition listed under
"WHAT IS NOT COVERED."
DEFINITIONS
The "legal life of the tire" is six years from the date of purchase or the life
of the "usable tread," which is defined as the original tread worn down to the
level of the treadwear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread
remaining, whichever occurs first. The date of purchase is documented by a new
vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. 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."
Uneven wear is defined as a tread groove difference of 2/32nds or more on the
same tire.
HOW REPLACEMENT
CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Tread Puncture and
Workmanship and Materials Coverage
No tire, regardless of quality, is immune to a complete loss of air. However, if
a Uniroyal� Tiger Paw� Tire with NailGard�:
1) fails to seal a tread puncture during the legal life of the tire, or;
2) becomes unserviceable because of a defect in workmanship or materials during
the first two years of service and before 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) or less of
the original tread has been worn, (or 25% or less, whichever is most beneficial
to the user); the tire will be replaced free of charge, mounting and balancing
included.
UNIROYAL� OFFERS THIS
TREAD PUNCTURE REPLACEMENT LIMITED WARRANTY SOLELY AS A CONVENIENCE TO ITS
CUSTOMERS. UNIROYAL� MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR PROMISE THAT NAILGARD� TIRES
WILL SEAL TREAD PUNCTURES GREATER THAN 3/16" IN DIAMETER.
If a Uniroyal� Tiger Paw� Tire with NailGard� becomes unserviceable because of a
defect in workmanship or materials after the free replacement period, the tire
will be replaced on a pro rata basis, at a charge calculated according to the
percentage of tread worn. You pay the cost of mounting, balancing, and any
other services or applicable taxes.
80,000 Mile Treadwear Limited Warranty
Subject to the conditions listed under UNIROYAL� NAILGARD� TIRES - WHAT IS
COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG, if a Uniroyal� Tiger Paw� Tire with NailGard�
wears down to 2/32nds of an inch within six years from the date of purchase and
before delivering 80,000 miles, that tire will be replaced on a pro rata basis.
To calculate your charge on a pro rata basis, the retailer will multiply the
percentage of mileage received by the current actual selling price at the
adjustment location or the price in the current Uniroyal� Base Price List,
whichever is lower. This adjustment price 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 IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become
unserviceable due to:
- Road hazard injury (other than previously described tread punctures);
- Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or improper repair;
- Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, under inflation, over inflation,
or other abuse;
- Uneven or rapid wear which results from mechanical irregularity in the vehicle
such as wheel misalignment, (measured tread depth differences of 2/32nds of an
inch or more across the tread on the same tire);
- Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
- Use in commercial applications for mileage warranty claims;
- Ozone or weather checking.
