EACH BRAND’S WARRANTY COVERAGE BRIDGESTONE
Platinum Pact Limited Warranty
The Platinum Pact Limited Warranty covers all Bridgestone brand passenger and light truck tires—except Duravis, 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 following conditions:
• The free tire replacement period extends up to 3 years from the date of purchase—proof of purchase date required. Without proof of purchase date, then 4 years from the date of tire manufacture. During this period, the tire will be replaced free of charge (including mounting and balancing); you may be charged applicable taxes, the cost of valve stems, and disposal fees.
• After the free tire replacement period, coverage extends up to 5 years from the date of purchase—proof of purchase date required. Without proof of purchase date, then 6 years from the date of tire manufacture. During this period, the tire will be replaced charging a pro-rated amount. To determine the replacement price, the percent of used treadwear is multiplied by THE DEALER’S then current selling price for the replacement tire(s). 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 section “What This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover.”

Duravis, Winter, and “Temporary Use” Spare Tires A Bridgestone brand Duravis, winter, or “temporary use” spare tire 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 following conditions:
• There is no free replacement period.
• Coverage extends up to 5 years from the date of purchase—proof of purchase date required. Without proof of purchase date, then 6 years from the date of tire manufacture. During this period, the tire will be replaced charging a pro-rated amount. To determine the replacement price, the percent of used treadwear is multiplied by THE DEALER’S then current selling price for the replacement tire(s). 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 section “What This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover.”

Buy & Try 30 Day Guarantee All Bridgestone brand passenger and light truck tires—except RFT/Run-Flat, Potenza RE-01R, winter, and “temporary use” spare tires—sold in sets of 4 or more tires through an authorized retailer are covered by the Buy & Try 30 Day Guarantee. If a retail customer is not completely satisfied with their eligible Bridgestone brand tires, the tires can be returned to the location from which they were originally purchased within 30 days of purchase for a full refund or exchange. Original proof of purchase is required. The Buy & Try 30 Day Guarantee applies only to full sets of tires
(4 or more tires purchased together); return of less than a full set of tires will not be accepted. Bridgestone brand tires applied as original equipment on new vehicles are not covered by the Buy & Try 30 Day Guarantee. Additional exclusions apply, as identified in the section “What This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover.”

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 under the following conditions:
• Only the passenger and light truck tires listed in this section are covered by the Supplemental Mileage Limited Warranty for the mileage shown.
• Coverage applies only to the original purchaser, only for so long as the tires remain mounted on the vehicle described in the Customer Identification Section of this manual.
• Coverage extends up to 5 years from the date of purchase—proof of purchase date required. During this period, the tire will be replaced charging a pro-rated amount.
• To determine the replacement price, the percent of warranted mileage obtained is multiplied by THE
DEALER’S then current selling price for the replacement tire(s). The appropriate taxes, mounting, balancing, disposal fees, and other service charges may be added to the replacement price.
• Tires used in commercial service and original equipment tires on new vehicles have no mileage warranty.
• Exclusions apply—as identified in the section “What This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover.”

CONDITIONS and EXCLUSIONS
To the extent permitted by law, Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC disclaims all other warranties, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and any liability for incidental and consequential damages, loss of time, loss of vehicle use, or inconvenience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty applies only to consumers actually using the tire in the United States. For warranty conditions outside the United States, see your local Bridgestone Firestone distributor. Obligations under this policy may not be enlarged or altered by anyone. In accordance with Federal Law, this Limited Warranty has been designated as a “Limited Warranty.” Nothing in this Limited Warranty is intended to be a representation that tire failures cannot occur. This Limited Warranty is given by Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC, 535 Marriott Dr., Nashville, TN 37214.

OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
In order to keep this Limited Warranty valid, we require you to have your tires regularly inspected and rotated per the recommendations outlined in the sections of this manual entitled “Tire Damage, Inspection and Service Life” and “Radial Tire Rotation” and to furnish proof of same in order to receive an adjustment. Such proof should show the date, mileage, and servicing location. A sales receipt containing this information will suffice. In addition, a “Maintenance Record” is included in this manual.
It is your obligation to maintain proper tire inflation pressures as specified by the vehicle manufacturer and to operate the vehicle within tire/vehicle load capacity and speed limitations. It is also your obligation to maintain proper wheel alignment and tire/wheel assembly balance. To request an adjustment, you must present the tire to an authorized Bridgestone Firestone retailer. Complete and sign the customer section of the Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC Limited Warranty adjustment form and pay appropriate replacement price, taxes, disposal fee, and service charges, if any.
