Tire Warranty

Simpletire works with all manufacturers to assist with warranty claims whenever possible.

How do Tire Warranties Work?

A tire warranty works as a means to cover the tire against an issue if certain conditions are met. Tire warranties are broken into three different categories: Workmanship & materials Mileage Manufacturer’s policy

Let’s learn a little more about each warranty type.

Workmanship & materials warranty:

The workmanship and materials warranty is designed to cover any defects from the manufacturing process or materials used in the tire. A lot of manufacturers will provide this coverage for either the life of the tire or a set amount of time, and a tire can often be replaced by the manufacturer at a prorated rate if an issue arises within the first 2/32nds of tread. Select tires might also be backed by an additional warranty—such as a limited manufacturer tread life warranty or free trial period(s)—in addition to being covered for a period of time after the date of manufacture or proof of purchase, whichever one comes first. As with most warranties, this can only be applied to the original tire purchaser, meaning that the warranty is not transferable to any other party.

Mileage warranty:

The mileage warranty provides coverage for your tires for a certain number of miles. The tire manufacturer typically allows a customer to receive a prorated replacement set of tires— assuming proper maintenance certain conditions are met—should the tires fail to meet the given mileage warranty. As a reminder, not all tires come with a mileage warranty, and they’re typically not provided on mud, winter, and some ultra-high-performance tires.

Manufacturer’s warranty policy:

Like most warranties, conditions out of the manufacturer’s control are not covered. This includes but is not limited to: irregular wear caused by a lack of maintenance on the vehicle, damage from accidents, vandalism, or when driving on a flat, under or overinflating the tires (improper inflation), incorrect application of size and/or specification (the tire used was not the right size of specification for your vehicle), improperly storing your tires, or tires with a special classification (such as “NA” for non-adjustable). The specifics of each warranty will vary by manufacturer and line, so it is important to check the warranty documents for the tires in question, which can be found on the specific manufacturer’s website. Punctures, typically, are not covered under a Manufacturer’s warranty policy, though that could vary from brand to brand. To ask a question about a tire warranty or to submit a tire for warranty consideration, please contact SimpleTire directly via chat, email, or phone. You can also work with your local dealer who carries that brand of tire for assistance.
