ON PIT BULL® NON-RACING TIRES
What Does This Warranty Cover?
This Warranty covers substantial defects in work manship and material
in every first (1 st ) quality non-racing tire bearing
the PIT BULL® name and serial number. This
warranty exists during the shorter of the life of the original tread
design or SIXTY (60) MONTHS from the date of manufacture as encoded
on the sidewall of the tire. At that time, all warranties, express
or implied, expire. Original tread design life is completed when
the tire is worn to 3 remaining 32nds.
What Does This Warranty Not Cover?
This Warranty does not cover any of the following:
- Any PIT BULL® tire branded as "NA" (non-adjustable)
or sold "As-Is" non-adjustable ("NA").
- Any PIT BULL® tire sold exclusively for or
used for a Racing application of any kind.
- Damage, defects, or abnormal wear resulting from any alteration,
modification, abuse, or misuse of your PIT BULL® tire,
including, but not limited to, the following: improper
mounting, improper repair, vehicle wheel misalignment, filled tires,
tire/wheel assembly imbalance, non-use, vandalism, non-conforming
rims, racing, overloading, improper balancing, added material, spinning,
trued tires, under or over inflation, run flat, wheel alignment, siping,
grooving, cutting or any other alteration, vehicle suspension alteration,
improper vehicle maintenance, improper tire maintenance, lack of regular
tire rotation in accordance with industry prescribed rotation patterns,
intentional tire damage, use of insert devices, or other causes beyond
Pit Bull Tire Company's ® control.
NOTE: Alterations such as added siping, tread cutting or insert devices
increase the possibility of sudden tire failure which can result in
serious injury or death. Do not make alterations to the tire
itself. PIT BULL® tires are manufactured to comply with
Federal Standards. Alterations to tires are dangerous.
- Injuries to your PIT BULL® tire resulting from
any of the following, including, but not limited to: road
hazards, collisions, accidents, fires, impact breaks, damage in shipment
(i.e., forklift cuts), cut by vehicle/vehicle projection rubbing,
nail holes, cuts, punctures and similar injuries, or other causes
beyond Pit Bull Tire Company's ® control.
- Appearance or cosmetic defects in tires branded " Blemish.
"
- Damage or defects resulting from use of bias ply or bias belted
tires with radial tires together on the same vehicle.
NOTE : Bias tires ride and handle differently than radials.
Bias ply or bias belted tires and radial tires should never be mixed
on the same vehicle
- Any loss, damage, expense, or incidental or consequential damages
of any kind arising out of any defect in or use of your PIT
BULL® tire. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion
may not apply to you.
NOTE: Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail or otherwise
become unserviceable due to conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer.
Nothing in this limited warranty is intended to be a representation
by Pit Bull Tire Company® that tire failures cannot occur, or
that the failure of a tire is indicative of a defect in materials
or workmanship.
- No Pit Bull Tire Company® representative, employee,
retailer or dealer has the authority to make or imply any representation,
promise, or agreement which in any way varies or modifies the terms
of this warranty.
Who is Covered by This Warranty?
This warranty covers the original consumer purchaser during the warranty
period. This warranty is made for the exclusive benefit of the
original consumer purchaser actually using these products, is not assignable,
and no warranty claim will be recognized unless submitted on our Standard
Claim Form duly filled out and signed by the original consumer purchaser
of the tire.
How Long Does Coverage Last?
The coverage of this warranty , except for tire whitewall discoloration
issues and dissatisfactory performance due to a balance, out-of-round,
or ride complaint issue, lasts for the shorter of the life of
the original tread design of your PIT BULL ® tire
or SIXTY (60) MONTHS from the date of manufacture as
encoded on the sidewall of the tire. Original tread design life
is completed when the tire is worn to 3/32nds of tread remaining.
The percentage that the tire tread design is worn will be determined
by taking the average of three measurements around the tire at the fastest
wearing groove and pro-rating according to the molded depth measurement
of the same groove.
- Tire whitewalls are warranted against discoloration for the shorter
of the life of the original tread design of your PIT BULL®
tire or a period of THIRTY SIX (36) MONTHS
from the date of manufacture as molded on the sidewall of the tire.
- Your PIT BULL® tire is warranted against dissatisfactory
performance resulting from balance, out-of-round, or ride complaint
issues only during the first 10% of the tire's original
tread design life.
Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular
purpose shall be limited in duration to TWO (2) YEARS from the later
of the purchase date or the date of delivery to the purchaser. Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitation may not apply to you.
What Will We Do To Correct the Problem?
If a substantial defect in material or workmanship appears in your PIT
BULL® tire within the first 10% of the tire's original
tread design life, we will provide you with a credit equal to 100% of
the purchase price of a new PIT BULL® tire of the
same or comparable model (up to the manufacturer's suggested retail
price). You will pay the cost of de-mounting the defective tire,
mounting the replacement tire, tire stems, balancing and other
related items, labor charges and services, and all Federal, State and
Local taxes on the purchase.
It is important to determine if there is a problem within the first
10% of tire wear.
If a substantial defect in material or workmanship appears in your
PIT BULL® tire after the first 10% of the tire's
original tread design life, we will provide you with a pro-rated
credit toward the purchase of a new PIT BULL® tire
of the same or equivalent model number equivalent to the percentage
of the tire's original tread design remaining when the defect appeared.
The percentage that the tire tread design is worn will be determined
by taking the average of three measurements around the tire at the fastest
wearing groove and pro-rating according to the molded depth measurement
of the same groove.
The pro-rated credit will be based on the cost of the tire only (up
to the manufacturer's suggested retail price), and will not apply to
the cost of de-mounting the defective tire, mounting the replacement
tire, tire stems, balancing or other related items, labor charges
or services, or Federal, State and Local taxes on the purchase.
FOR EXAMPLE: If 75% of the tire's original
tread design remains (i.e., the tire's original tread design life is
25% worn), then you will receive a credit of 75% of the dealer's price
(up to the manufacturer's suggested retail price) for the tire, excluding
the cost of de-mounting the defective tire, mounting the replacement
tire, tire stems, balancing or other related items, labor charges or
services, and Federal, State and Local taxes on the purchase.
What Will We Not Do?
We will neither replace nor provide a warranty credit for any item for
which the purchaser does not submit a Standard Claim Form duly completed
and signed by the original purchaser. Additionally, we will neither
replace nor provide a warranty credit for any PIT BULL®
tire that we determine, at our sole and absolute discretion,
has been altered, modified, or siped in any way, has been used for racing,
or is not defectively manufactured.
Any modification, alteration, or siping of your PIT BULL®
tire will automatically void this warranty.
We will not be liable for or pay for any field charges for labor or
other expenses incurred in the replacement of the PIT BULL®
tire or any expense incurred by you to remedy any defect in
the PIT BULL® tire, including, but not limited
to, the following charges: (a) all Federal, State and Local taxes imposed
upon the sale of replacement tire; (b) demounting the replaced tire;
(c) mounting and balancing the replacement tire, and (d) other related
services and charges for parts and labor.
How Do You Get Service?
To obtain warranty service, you must first contact your local
PIT BULL ® DEALER. Your dealer will have you fill
