Medium Commercial Truck Warranty
  LIMITED WARRANTY  

Kumho Tire U.S.A., INC. (“Kumho”), hereby warrants that every new truck tire manufactured by Kumho TIRE CO., LTD. (“Kumho Tires”) will remain serviceable until its original usable tread has worn down to 2/32” remaining - or before 5 years from the date of manufacture (whichever comes first) - at which point the tire is considered fully worn out.

  WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS  

If an examination by Kumho shows that a Kumho Tire is unusable due to a material or workmanship condition, Kumho will do either of the following:

  1. During the first 2/32” of the original usable tread, Kumho will replace such tire with a comparable new Kumho tire free of charge. Applicable taxes on the new tire and costs of mounting and balancing service are payable by the owner.
  2. After the first 2/32” of the original usable tread, a credit will be given toward the purchase of a comparable new Kumho Tire in proportion of the original usable tread remaining on the returned tire to the original usable tread of the new tire. Applicable taxes and costs of mounting and balancing service are payable by the owner.

     

    The amount of such credit will be calculated by the following formula:

     

    C = O.T.R. x P
                O.T.

     

    C: Amount of credit
    O.T.R.: Original Usable Tread Remaining on Returned Tire
    O.T.: Original Usable Tread on New Tire
    P: Purchase Price of New Tire in accordance with Kumho Dealer's Price List effective at the time of adjustment.
    * Remarks: Please refer to Adjustment Credit Percentage Table.
  3. Adjustment on out-of-balance or out-of-round tires is allowed only during the first 2/32" of the original tread.
  CASING WARRANTY  
  1. Casings of Kumho radial truck tires are warranted to remain serviceable up to the point of second retread.
  2. If an examination by Kumho shows that a casing of a Kumho radial truck tire delivers unsatisfactory service due to factors within the manufacturer's control, Kumho will give a credit toward the purchase price of a comparable new Kumho Tire in the amount indicated below:
