Mileage Warranty

The General Tire brand tires listed below are warranted against wearout up to the mileage/kilometers coverage indicated, even though the actual mileage/kilometers you may get from your tires may vary because of driving habits and road conditions. Subject to the provisions of Section 3 and Section 4 in the Tire Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy, if one of the tires listed in this section wears out before the stated mileage/ kilometers coverage listed on www.generaltire.com website, General Tire will warrant the tire on a pro-rata basis as indicated herein. “Wearout” means that the tire’s tread has worn evenly down to the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread remaining). “Pro- rata” for this Mileage Warranty is measured by the odometer readings at the time of the tire’s purchase, as shown by the original tire receipt and proof-of-purchase, and the odometer reading at the time of replacement. In addition, you must present a fully completed, legible Rotation Schedule, which is found in the original owner’s copy of the tire’s Tire Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy.

  • Tire(s) that have not been rotated at least every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10-13,000 kilometers), as evidenced by a completed Rotation Schedule, are excluded from this coverage.
  • On vehicles with staggered / split fitments (different size tires on front and rear axle), tires cannot be rotated between the front and rear axle. Without rotation of tires between the front and rear axel. Without rotation of tires between the front and rear axle, the expected mileage / kilometers before wearout is significantly lower, especially on the rear axle. Therefore, the Mileage Warranty for tires on the rear axle of these vehicles will be 50% of the standard Mileage Limited Warranty for the product line.
  • Tire(s) in service for more than 72 months, regardless of mileage, are not covered.
  • Tires used in commercial service, competition or tires received as original equipment are not eligible for extra coverage.

The owner pays shipping, mounting, balancing and all applicable taxes (including F.E.T) under the Mileage Warranty.Altimax 365 AW: 60,000 miles

The letters represent the maximum speed a tire can sustain under its recommended load capacity. Even though a tire can perform at this speed, we do not advocate exceeding legal speed limits:
 
S=112 mph
T=118 mph
H=130 mph
V=149 mph
 
 

You will receive a comparable** new General Brand tire with payment of the replacement price based on the percentage of actual mileage/kilometers received to the mileage/kilometers covered. Your replacement cost will be determined by dividing the actual mileage/kilometers delivered by the miles/kilometers warranted and multiplying the result times the current price of an equivalent or comparable replacement. See the General Tire Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy on page 6 for a sample calculation.

 

SAMPLE CALCULATION:
The tire you present for Limited Warranty has a Mileage Warranty of 60,000 miles. At the time of the tire purchase, the vehicle’s odometer reading was 20,000 miles. At the time the tire was presented for warranty, the vehicle’s odometer reading was 65,000 miles. You also present a completed and up to date Mileage Warranty Rotation Schedule and the tire(s) are worn evenly down to 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining, according to the Tread Wear Indicators.
 
Determine the mileage received on adjusted tires:
65,000 miles – 20,000 miles = 45,000 miles
 
Determine Your pro rata replacement tire cost percentage:
45,000/60,000 X 100 = 75% (round to the nearest whole percentage).
 
Your pro rata cost for the replacement tire is determined by multiplying the percentage of mileage received (75%) by the current purchase price for the replacement tire (ex. $130.02) Example calculation is: 75% x $130.02 = $97.52 The credit allowance for the mileage not received equals: $130.02 -$97.52 = $32.50 towards the next purchase of any General Tire product line. You will pay the equivalent pro rata cost for tire plus all applicable taxes (including applicable F.E.T.) shipping, mounting and balancing, local tire disposal fees and any other parts or other services.
