At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire.

*Half stated mileage warranty for rear of split fitment    **New tires purchased on or after January 1, 2016

Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and vehicle maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a tire does not reach the warranted mileage, and the owner of the tire has complied with the terms and conditions of this mileage warranty, GITI Tire (USA), Ltd. will replace the tire as follows:

If the eligible tire wears out (down to 2/32” remaining tread depth), before warranty miles are achieved, as measured on the properly functioning odometer of the vehicle under normal passenger car use, GITI Tire (USA), Ltd. will make an allowance for the difference of the warrantied mileage vs. the actual mileage achieved toward the purchase of a comparable new MAXTOUR LX, CHAMPIRO UHPAS, CHAMPIRO TOURING A/S, MAXTOUR ALL SEASON, SAVERO HT2, and ADVENTURO AT3 tire, prorated on warranted mileage.

The retailer will calculate the replacement allowance by multiplying the percentage of the warranted mileage not received by the retailer’s selling price at the time and place of adjustment.

  • Tires purchased before March 1, 2006.
  • Ozone or weather checking.
  • The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide (e.g. water based sealers or balancing substances).

This warranty applies to any new GT Radial MAXTOUR LX, CHAMPIRO TOURING A/S and MAXTOUR ALL SEASON brand replacement tire purchased on or after January 1, 2012 used in normal service on the vehicle on which it was originally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recommendations and safety warning contained in the vehicle’s original owners manual for the first 20,000 Kilometers or 12 months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire. If an eligible tire is rendered unserviceable due to a non-repairable road hazard (cut, tear, impact break or puncture) during the first 20,000 Kilometers of original tread life as measured on the properly functioning odometer of the vehicle or twelve (12) months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first, it will be replaced with a comparable new GT Radial MAXTOUR LX, CHAMPIRO TOURING A/S or MAXTOUR ALL SEASON, prorated on warranted mileage.

The retailer will calculate the replacement allowance by multiplying the percentage of the warranted mileage not received by the retailer’s selling price at the time and place of adjustment.

If a higher price tire is accepted as a replacement tire or you wish to upgrade to a more expensive tire at the time of adjustment, you will be responsible for any additional costs of the replacement tire versus the original tire.

A $10 per tire processing fee applies to each replacement transaction. The $10 per tire processing fee will be deducted from the adjustment credit memo per tire, per transaction. In addition, all service charges (mounting, balancing or new valve) and applicable taxes are not included.
