Most people believe that when they buy a new tire with a 50,000 mile warranty,it will be replaced with a brand new tire if you run over a nail or get a small hole in the tire.That won't happen.They will either plug or patch the tire,but you won't get a new tire.They will advertise a set of tires on sale so everybody shows up to buy them.The problem is,they will make up for any money that was lost by the charging higher fees for mounting,balancing,hazardous material charge,etc.Its winds up costing $15-$20 a tire for those services.The way I see it,it costs $75 bucks for two used tires with mounting and balancing.Its probably about $100-$120 bucks for two new tires.I buy the new tires then carry them out the door to a used tire shop for mounting and balancing.Saves $50-$75 bucks for 4 tires doing it this way.They're not gonna give me a new tire anyway,and their balancing,rotating,and alignment schedule winds up costing even more money
Dont need to buy tires with such a long warranty. They must be expensive for sure. I bought the used tires and they were about 80% good for someone off of http://www.hikwik.com people sell their used stuff, i had good expericence.
If you only drive 10,000 miles a year, if you keep the car long enough, you'll get there.
#1 The treadwear warranty is only good if you rotate the tires according to their schedule.
#2 The treadwear warranty is only good if you keep the car aligned.
#3 The treadwear warranty is only good if you keep them inflated to the correct pressure.
#4 The treadwear warranty only covers treadwear if you follow 1-3 above. It does not cover punctures.
If the tires wear out before 50K and you've done 1-3, they'll pro-rate the remaining tread.
So your chances of getting a warranty replacement are just about zip
how the hell will i get there. i drive maybe about 20,000 mile or less a year
