UNIROYAL® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK REPLACEMENT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the terms and conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully. It is essential that you also read and understand the safety and maintenance recommendations for tires contained in this Owner’s Manual. This warranty covers the original purchaser of UNIROYAL® passenger and light truck replacement tires.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED This warranty does not cover tires damaged due to misuse, abuse or accident such as: – Road hazards (e.g.
on a pro rata basis. This means that you will be responsible for paying a portion of the cost. The Uniroyal tire retailer will determine the portion for which you will be responsible by multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn, by the current selling price at the adjustment location or the price in the current Uniroyal Base Price List, whichever is lower.
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty limits the length of all express and implied claims. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you.
with the document hearing with the exception of the arbitrator’s fee which will be borne by all parties in equal shares. If either party requests any procedures beyond a document hearing, the requesting party will be responsible for all fees, including filing and administrative fees, above and beyond the fees required for document hearings. Any award of the arbitrator(s) may be entered as a judgment and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
properly inflated, do not resume driving with that tire unless you have no other option, in which case you should drive only as slowly as is safely possible in the traffic conditions until you can both get the spare tire properly inflated and have it checked by a tire professional to ensure that it is safe to use. PROPER INFLATION WARNING DO NOT DRIVE UNNECESSARILY ON IMPROPERLY INFLATED TIRES.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS): Your vehicle is likely equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires mounted on your vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire pressure falls below a predetermined level. A TPMS should not replace monthly manual pressure checks for all four tires and the spare. You should manually monitor and check tire pressure inflation with a pressure gauge.
SPEED RATING SYSTEM The speed rating of a tire indicates the speed category (or range of speeds) at which the tire can carry a load under specified service conditions. The speed rating system used today was developed in Europe in response to the need to categorize tires into standardized speeds. A letter from A to Z symbolizes a tire’s certified speed rating, ranging from 5 km/hr (3 mph) to above 300 km/hr (186 mph).
“Z” Rated Tires When “Z” appears in the size description with the service description, the maximum speed is indicated by the service description. Examples: Tire Designation Maximum Speed P275/40ZR17 P275/40R17 93Y P275/40ZR17 93Y P275/40ZR17 (93Y) Above 240 km/hr (149 mph)* 300 km/hr (186 mph) 300 km/hr (186 mph) Above 300 km/hr (186 mph)* *Consult Tire Manufacturer For tires having a maximum speed capability above 240 km/hr (149 mph), a “Z” may appear in the size designation.
A tire that hits a road hazard or object can be damaged but not have any visible sign of damage on its surface. A tire damaged by an impact can suddenly fail a day, a week, or even months later. You may not recall having hit an object or a road hazard and may not see any tire damage, but such an event may have damaged one or more of your tires.
LOADING WARNING DO NOT DRIVE ON OVERLOADED TIRES. 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 to ensure that your tires are not overloaded. Tires loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire failure and an accident.
WINTER DRIVING Tires that meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association’s (RMA) definition of snow tires are marked M/S, M+S, or M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recommended for winter driving in regions that experience winter conditions. Although All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable performance in some winter conditions, the use of four winter tires is recommended for optimal performance.
surfaces. Deeper tread tires on the front axle can improve wet straight line braking and stopping distance. If only two tires are being replaced, Uniroyal generally recommends they be installed on the rear axle in the absence of a tire service professional’s recommendation or consumer’s preference to the contrary.
repaired tire may cause further damage to the tire by either leaking air or allowing air, moisture, and contaminants to enter the structure of the tire. An improperly repaired tire can fail suddenly at a later date and result in an accident. Never repair a tire with less than 2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining. At this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced. STORAGE Tires contain materials to protect their outer surfaces from ozone and weather checking.
TEMPORARY TYPE SPARE TIRES When using any temporary spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. READING THE DOT DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (prior to August 2000) DOT XXXX XXXX XXXX (after July 2000) THE DOT The “DOT” symbol certifies tire manufacturer’s compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation tire safety standards. Next to the symbol is the tire identification or “serial number.” The first two characters identify the plant where the tire was manufactured.
REMEMBER... TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT: • INSPECT TIRES AT LEAST MONTHLY, AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER STRIKING ANY ROAD HAZARD. • CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH WHEN TIRES ARE COLD AND BEFORE EVERY LONG TRIP. • NEVER UNDERINFLATE OR OVERINFLATE A TIRE. • NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE AND TIRES. • ALWAYS OBEY LEGAL SPEED LIMITS AND DRIVE AT A SPEED THAT IS REASONABLE UNDER THE ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. • AVOID DRIVING OVER POTHOLES, OBSTACLES, CURBS OR EDGES OF PAVEMENT.
