MICHELIN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY FORM
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
MICHELIN passenger and light truck replacement tires that are used in normal service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted are covered as follows:
Workmanship and Materials
- If there is a defect in workmanship and materials during the life of the original usable tread, or six (6) years from the date of purchase (whichever comes first), your the tire may be replaced on a pro-rata basis under this warranty. After six (6) years or the wear of the original usable tread, whichever occurs first all warranties, expressed or implied, expire.
- The “date of purchase” refers to the date on your sales invoice. If you cannot, find your sales invoice, the date will be calculated based on the date of manufacture which is molded on the sidewall of your tire.
- The “life of the usable tread” refers to the original tread worn down evenly, shoulder to shoulder circumferentially, to the level of the treadwear indicators, which is 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
- Uneven wear is defined as wear of one area, faster than the adjacent tread.
Treadwear- The “life of the usable tread” refers to the original tread worn down evenly,shoulder to shoulder circumferentially, to the level of the treadwear indicators, which is 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
- Uneven wear is defined as wear of one area, faster than the adjacent tread. If the tire treadwear does not reach its mileage warranty a pro rata replacement of the tire may be available under this warranty. Tire must be evenly worn with a tread groove difference less than 2/32 of an inch, from shoulder to shoulder.
- In order to maintain the treadwear warranty on your tires, the tires must be rotated every 6,000 - 8,000 miles (10,000 -12,000 km), or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, whichever rotation period is less. Failure to rotate the tires as provided herein voids the treadwear warranty.Note that if you use tires of different sizes on the front and rear axles, your tires cannot be rotated as Michelin recommended. As a result, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will be half that specified
WHAT IS NOT COVERED

- Road hazards (e.g., cuts, snags, bruises, impact damage or punctures);
- Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair;
- Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, overinflation or other abuse;
- Uneven wear (to include all wear types);
- Wear caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment;
