Kumho Warranty Commercial Truck Tires
LIMITED WARRANTY |
KUMHO Tire U.S.A., INC. (“KUMHO”), hereby warrants that
every new truck tire manufactured by KUMHO TIRE CO., LTD. (“KUMHO Tires”)
will remain serviceable until its original usable tread has worn down to
2/32” remaining, at which point the tire is considered fully worn out.
|
WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS |
If an examination by KUMHO shows that a
KUMHO Tire is unusable due to a
material or workmanship condition, KUMHO will do either of the following:
- During the first 2/32” of the original usable tread,
KUMHO will replace such tire with a comparable new KUMHO tire free of
charge. Applicable taxes on the new tire & costs of mounting &
balancing service are payable by the owner.
- After the first 2/32” of the original usable tread, a
credit will be given toward the purchase of a comparable new KUMHO Tire in
proportion of the original usable tread remaining on the returned tire to
the original usable tread of the new tire. Applicable taxes & costs of
mounting & balancing service are payable by the owner.
The amount of such credit will be calculated by the following formula:
C: Amount of credit
O.T.R.: Original Usable Tread Remaining on Returned Tire
O.T.: Original Usable Tread on New Tire
P.: Purchase Price of New Tire in accordance with KUMHO Dealer’s
Price List effective at the time of adjustment.
