BRIDGESTONE PLATINUM PACT LIMITED WARRANTY

The Platinum Pact Limited Warranty covers all Bridgestone brand passenger and light truck tires – except winter, and “temporary use” spare tires. A tire covered by the Platinum Pact Limited Warranty will be replaced with an equivalent new tire either free of charge or for a pro-rated amount if the tire becomes unusable for any reason within the manufacturer’s control under the conditions listed in the Warranty Manual. More Platinum Pact Limited Warranty Details.

FIRESTONE GOLD PLEDGE LIMITED WARRANTY

• There is no free replacement period.
• Coverage extends up to 4 years from the date of purchase – proof of purchase date required. Without proof of purchase date, then 5 years from the date of tire manufacture. During this period, the tire will be replaced charging a prorated amount.

The appropriate taxes, mounting, balancing, disposal fees, and other service charges may be added to the replacement price.
• The tire must not be worn to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less remaining original tread depth (i.e. worn down to the top of the built-in indicators in the tread grooves).
• Exclusions apply – as identified in the Warranty Manual.

SUPPLEMENTAL MILEAGE LIMITED WARRANTY

If a tire covered by the Supplemental Mileage Limited Warranty wears evenly across the tread down to the treadwear indicators – 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) – during the stated warranted mileage for that tire (as evidenced by the vehicle’s odometer), the tire will be replaced with an equivalent new tire for a pro-rated amount under the conditions listed in the Warranty Manual.

ROAD HAZARD PROTECTION WARRANTY

Tires qualifying for replacement hereunder will be replaced with an equivalent new tire. If a registered tire is discontinued or not available, a tire of similar value (to be determined at the discretion of THE RETAILER), will be substituted. Mounting and balancing of a repaired or replaced tire will be free of charge.

No tire covered by this Certificate will be eligible for replacement more than once or repair more than twice during the coverage period. Coverage can be purchased for a tire that has been replaced or repaired for an additional charge and taxes, where applicable.

Such proof should show the date, mileage, and servicing location. A sales receipt containing this information will suffice. In addition, a “Tire Maintenance Record” is included in this manual.

Tires must be operated at the proper tire inflation pressures as specified by the vehicle manufacturer and within tire/ vehicle load capacity and speed limitations. It is also your obligation to maintain proper wheel alignment and tire/wheel assembly balance.
