T3 Road Hazard Warranty

T3 Road Hazard Warranty

WHAT IS A ROAD HAZARD?

A road hazard occurs when a tire fails due to a puncture, bruise, or break incurred during the course of normal driving on a maintained road. Nails, glass, and pot holes would be the most common examples.

T3 PREMIUM ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY (Local) PROGRAM

• The T3 Premium Road Hazard Warranty (Local) covers qualifying new tires sold and installed at El Cerrito Tires & Auto Body wherein the road hazard damage occurred within 25 miles of the dealer’s location and the tire is returned to the same location for replacement. This warranty is not valid nationwide nor at any other T3 dealer location – it will be honored at the original selling dealer ONLY.
• The warranty only covers tires deemed unserviceable and unrepairable because of a road hazard during the coverage period.
• The warranty applies only to the original purchaser and is not transferable.
• Eligible tires are covered at 100% for the first 25% of tread wear.
• Eligible tires are pro-rated, based on the remaining usable tread, if tread wear is greater than 25%.
• The T3 Road Hazard Warranty expires two (2) years from original retail sale or when the remaining tread depth is 2/32 of an inch or less, whichever comes first.
• The consumer will be responsible for any taxes, mounting, balancing, non-covered wear or any other miscellaneous fees.
• The tires and brands covered are contingent on the T3 level of the participating dealer as outlined above.
