Tire Warranties: What Will Void Your Coverage
Tires are a vital, and often pricey, expense for your car. Tires have a pretty long life, but circumstances may lead to needing to replace them before the end of their advertised life. When this happens, we might be able to replace the tire at a reduced price thanks to tire warranties.
Given this, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the different types of warranties, as well as what would void these warranties.
Tread life warranties are standard and the life is determined by the type of tire and normal mileage. Other warranties include road hazard warranty (for accidents and flat tires), workmanship and materials warranty (also standard, and protects from manufacturer defects), manufacturer special warranty (when you have a certain time period, like 30 days, to test your tires), and uniformity warranty (when there is excessive ride disturbance or vibration).
Usually, to make a warranty claim, you must show proof of purchase, as well as proof of regular maintenance, such as alignment and rotation service receipts. So if you drive 4×4 cars you must ensure you do regular maintenance so that your tires last longer and your warranty stays in effect.
Warranties are often voided when you fail to do proper maintenance, such as inflation, alignment and rotation. Extreme, excessive usage, such as racing and off-roading can also void warranties. Snow chain damage is another thing manufacturers will consider when voiding a warranty, too.
You can avoid losing warranty coverage by taking good care of your tires, and doing proper maintenance.
