A tire warranty is a type of guarantee provided by the tire manufacturer or seller that promises to repair, replace, or refund a tire under certain conditions within a specified time or mileage limit. There are a few common types of tire warranties:
Treadwear Warranty – Covers the tire if it wears out before reaching a certain mileage (e.g., 60,000 miles). If it wears out early, you might get a prorated refund or replacement.
Defect/Workmanship Warranty – Covers tires that fail due to manufacturing defects or poor workmanship, not due to road hazards or normal wear.
Road Hazard Warranty – Optional and less common; it covers damage from things like nails, potholes, or debris.
Uniformity Warranty – Covers issues like vibration or ride problems due to a defect in the tire’s construction, usually for a short period after purchase.
