limited warranty for tread-wear.
To file a warranty claim for tread-wear mileage you must submit a
tire rotation record showing that all tires have been rotated at least
every 5,000 miles or 8,000km.
- If the tires are worn out evenly across the tread down to the tread
wear indicators (3/32” or 1.6mm) before the warranty miles under
the normal passenger use, the replacement price will be prorated
based on percentages of the warranted miles for unused service
toward the purchase of same tires.

original purchase invoice.
- The tires must be perfectly mounted and balanced at the time of
installation purchase.

9. Tire Care and Maintenance Guide
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury.
To reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following :
- Maintain proper inflation pressure-do not use at under
inflation or over inflation. Maintain inflation pressure at the
level recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
- Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular
intervals.
- Do not overload tires. The maximum load carrying capacity is
molded on the sidewall of the tire.
- Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
- Never drive on smooth(bald) tires. By law, tires must be
replaced when 3/32" of tread depth remained, as indicated by
tread wear indicator molded in the tread grooves.
- Check your tires frequently for any damage including scrapes,
cuts, foreign objects, separations or bulges. If damage is
found, do not attempt to dismount a tire yourself. Change
damaged tire with the spare and contact your local authorized
NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
- Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the
maximum speed justified by driving conditions.
- To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is recommended.
