Warranty Period And Pro Rata Percentage
During the first twelve months of service (proof of pruchase date is required), if the tyre is worn less than 10%, the tyre is replaced free of charge.
After the free replacement period, the replacement will be subjected to a pro rata based on years of service if proof of purchase is available or, if not, then based on years from date of manufacture (which is moulded into the sidewall of the tyre) as follows:
