This Limited Mileage Warranty applies to all new consumer (PCR/LTR) tires purchased on or after January 1, 2018, sold or distributed under the GT Radial brand bearing the corresponding D.O.T. tire identification number. The following GT Radial brand pattern designs are covered by a limited warranty for tread wear as follows:
- CHAMPIRO UHP AS - 45,000 Miles / 75,000 Kilometers
- MAXTOUR LX - 70,000 Miles / 115,000 Kilometers

ELIGIBILITY
GT Radial will provide a prorated mileage credit towards the purchase of a comparable GT Radial tire. Vehicles with staggered fitments (e.g. front and rear tire sizes are different) cannot be rotated. Therefore, GT Radial warrants tires mounted in the rear axles of vehicles with staggered fitments only up to 50% of the warranted miles under the Standard GT Radial Mileage warranty. To be eligible, the consumer (PCR/LTR) tire must meet the following criteria:
- Purchased in the United States or Canada
- Is properly serviced and maintained, with periodic rotation, all evidenced by acceptable service records
- Tread is evenly worn down to the top of the treadwear indicator bars
- Was mounted within 60 months from the date of purchase
- The tire is of the correct size and load rating for the make and type of vehicle
- The tire has been used on road surfaces for which the tire has been designed
- Original proof of purchase with installation miles must be provided
- The tire is not subject to exclusion (see “What is Not Covered by the Limited Mileage Warranty”)
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 the Limited Mileage Warranty, GT Radial will replace the tire as follows:
If the eligible tire wears out (down to 2/32 of an inch remaining tread depth), before warranty miles are achieved, as measured on the properly functioning odometer of the vehicle under normal passenger car, SUV/CUV, or Light Truck use, GT Radial will make an allowance for the difference of the warrantied mileage versus the actual mileage achieved toward the purchase of a comparable new GT Radial brand tire, prorated on warranted mileage.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED MILEAGE WARRANTY
- Tires of incorrect size or load rating for the vehicle
- Tires not rotated in accordance with the prescribed rotation patterns and mileage levels as recommended by either the vehicle manufacturer or GT Radial
- Tires damaged due to road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or puncture)
- Improper use or operation, including: improper inflation pressure, overloading, curbing, use of improper rim or wheel, improper mounting or demounting, tire/wheel spinning, misuse, misapplication, negligence, tire alteration, or use in competition or racing
- Tires used in commercial applications including, but not limited to, police, taxi service, national account, government, or contract sales
- Tires installed on any vehicle other than the vehicle on which the tires were originally installed
- Improper maintenance of tire, wheel or vehicle components: misalignment, imbalance, worn components, or other vehicle conditions, characteristics or defects
- Highway tires that are operated in on-off highway application
- Tires subjected to severe under-inflated or run-flat conditions

ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY
This warranty applies to any new GT Radial MAXTOUR LX, CHAMPIRO TOURING A/S or MAXTOUR ALL SEASON brand replacement tire purchased on or after January 1, 2018 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 12,000 Miles / 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 12,000 Miles / 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.
A comparable new GT Radial MAXTOUR LX, CHAMPIRO TOURING A/S or MAXTOUR ALL SEASON is a tire of the same line, or in the event that a tire of the same line is not available, a tire of the same basic construction and quality which differs only in sidewall or tread design.

- Ozone or weather cracking
- The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide (e.g. water based sealers or balancing substances)
