I. Tires Covered by this Warranty:
This limited warranty only applies to the original purchaser of the product. Only tires that are installed on the original vehicle according to the manufacturer’s recommendations are eligible.
The limited warranty applies to tires purchased after March 1, 2016. Tires purchased before March 1, 2016 are subject to the previous published warranties.
This limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, limited mileage warranty, road hazard warranty, and road hazard replacement (select tires only).
II. Warranty length
A tire will be required to have at least 2/32” of usable tread life remaining. Any tire having less than 2/32” tread is considered past the usable tread life and not warrantied.
III. Materials and workmanship warranty
Select Delinte products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship and will be replaced within the first 2/32” wear of original usable tread life, or within 6 months from the period of purchase, whichever comes first.
IV. Limited mileage warranty
Select Delinte products are manufactured to protect against premature tread wear. If a tire reaches the end of its usable tread life (2/32”) before the stated mileage warranty, the original purchaser will get a replacement product manufactured by the Sentury Tire factory on a pro-rata basis. Tread must be worn down evenly across the face of the tread.
In order to maintain this limited warranty, all tires must be rotated at least every 3-4,000 miles.
Documentation that is required to maintain a tread wear warranty is the date of installation and removal.
If different tire sizes are installed (staggered tire sizes) on the front and rear, the tire warranty will be 50% of the stated mileage warranty. Tires must be rotated side-to-side every 3-4,000 miles. Tread must be worn down evenly across the face of the tread.
Exclusions not covered under this limited warranty:
- Tires used on RVs (recreational vehicles), motor homes, trailers, or tires used in commercial service.
- Any tire that has any brand information, sizes, or the D.O.T. identification numbers removed intentionally.
- Ride complaints after the first 2/32” of tread wear or replacement of 3 or more tires from the same vehicle won’t be accepted.
- Premature/irregular wear due to vehicle mechanical deficiencies.
- Failure to rotate the tires at recommended intervals.
- Road hazard damage, including cuts, snags, bruises, punctures, tire repair, impact breaks, etc. (Select tires indicated in this document have coverage under the Delinte Tire Road Hazard Policy.)
- Any tires on any vehicle that are registered and normally operated outside the U.S.
- Any damage from over/under inflation, tire overloading, fire, theft, and any defective mechanical condition of the vehicle.
- Any damage from incorrect tire mounting/dismounting/balancing, any incorrect tire application, water, or any other material trapped inside the tire during tire mounting.
- Any racing or other misapplication of tire to improper road conditions.
- Environmental ozone or weather cracking after 48 months from the tire manufacture date.
- Any accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, vandalism, abuse, or running on a flat tire.
- Any tires worn beyond the tire bar wear indicators and less than 2/32”.
- Uneven wear in which the tread groove difference is 2/32” or more across the face of the tire.
- Any loss of time or use, inconvenience, any incidental or consequential damage.
- Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake lock.
V. Road hazard warranty
This road hazard warranty is offered for select Delinte products for non-repairable tread damage (based on RMA guidelines) based on the following limitations:
- If road hazard damage occurs in the first 6 months from the date of purchase or the first 2/32” of tread life, (whichever comes first), Delinte will replace a comparable tire manufactured by the Sentury Tire factory.
- Road hazard coverage applies only to the original purchaser and isn’t transferable.
The following tire exclusions don’t apply to the Road hazard warranty:
- Vandalism damage
- Vehicle accident damage
- Repairable under Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) guidelines
- Commercial use damage
- Racing or off-road use damage
- Snow chains or studs damage
- Mechanical wear damage
- Tires transferred to another vehicle
- Tires that reflect damage due to continued run flat or acute under-inflation
VI. Tire maintenance guidelines
To reduce the risk of tire failure Delinte recommends the following:
- Maintain proper inflation pressure based on vehicle manufacturer recommendations.
- Don’t drive if tires are under/over-inflated. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Wheel alignment and balancing should be maintained based on vehicle manufacturer recommendations.
- Don’t overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on the tire sidewall.
- Avoid potholes and driving over curbs, obstacles, and pavement edges.
- Avoid excessive spinning of tires.
- Tires must be replaced when only 2/32” tire tread depth remains.
- Check tires frequently for scrapes, cuts, foreign objects, separations, or bulges.
- Maintain proper speed limits allowed by law or the appropriate speed justified by driving conditions.
- Rotate tires to achieve maximum longevity.
