Benefit Determination
When a Covered Tire sustains Road Hazard Damage during the Coverage Period:
- Repair Mandate: If the tire can be safely repaired per industry standards, the repair cost will be covered up to $25.00 per occurrence.
- Replacement (Prorated): If the tire is deemed Unserviceable, the replacement credit will be prorated based on the remaining usable tread depth at the time of the claim.
- Calculation: The credit towards the replacement tire equals the original purchase price multiplied by the percentage of remaining usable tread.
- The maximum credit provided shall not exceed the original purchase price of the Covered Tire.
Excluded Costs (Your Responsibility)
You are responsible for all costs other than the authorized repair or replacement credit. This includes, but is not limited to, mounting, balancing, valve stem, disposal fees, and all applicable taxes.

You must provide the original purchase invoice for the Covered Tire(s) to submit any claim. We reserve the right to deny any claim if You are unable to provide this invoice.
Required Maintenance
You must ensure the Covered Tires are rotated at least every 10,000 miles. You must retain and present valid, dated service receipts or repair orders from a licensed facility as proof of these rotations. Failure to provide this documentation will immediately void all coverage.
Non-Transferability
The Program benefits are non-transferable. You may not transfer the benefits to any other tire(s), vehicle(s), or to any subsequent owner of the Covered Vehicle or Covered Tire(s). Any transfer of ownership of the Covered Vehicle or Covered Tire(s) automatically terminates the Coverage Period.
