Mickey Thompson Tire Standard Limited Warranty

 

Every first quality tyre bearing our name and serial number and not branded "NA" which is not used for racing is warranted to be free of defects in workmanship and material during the life of the original tread design.

TREAD LIFE
When the tread becomes worn down to 1.6 mm (shown by tread wear indicators moulded into the tread grooves) the tyre is worn out and this warranty ends.

REPLACEMENT CHARGE
The replacement charge will be determined by multiplying the consumer's original purchase price by the percentage of original tread depth worn from the tyre. The consumer must pay for mounting, balancing and any other additional charges, or the acceptance by the consumer of a higher priced replacement tyre.

The warranty is made for the exclusive benefit of the original owner actually using these products, is not assignable and no claim hereunder will be recognized unless submitted on our standard claim form duly filled out and signed by such owner or authorised reseller.

This warranty does not in any way extend to any consequential damages or losses.

There is no other warranty, or liability, expressed or implied, applicable to these products. No representative has the authority to make any representation, promise, or agreement except as stated herein.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED
This warranty does not cover tyres that become unserviceable due to:
1. Conditions resulting from road hazards, such as cut, snags or punctures.
2. Conditions resulting from improper installation, wheel misalignment, or tyre/wheel assembly imbalance.
3. Conditions resulting from consumer damage, such as improper tyre and vehicle maintenance, misuse, abuse or accident.
4. Passenger car tyres used in any commercial application.
5. Ride complaints after the first 1mm tread wear.
6. Ozone or weather cracking on tyres over four (4) years from date of purchase.

TYRES: RADIAL VERSUS BIAS
Bias tyres tend to ride and handle differently than radials. Bias ply or bias belted and radial tyres should not be mixed on the same vehicle.

M/T is not responsible for abnormal wear due to suspension modifications and improper maintenance.

Mickey Thompson Tire Company offers tyres for sale, which may be used in racing either on or off-road. Due to the many varied and different conditions to which racing tyres are exposed and because of the manner in which racing is conducted, Mickey Thompson Tire Company makes absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the fitness for a general or particular purpose or of merchantability in connection with any offer of sale or sale of racing tyres. "MICKEY THOMPSON RACING TYRES USED IN RACING ARE SOLD AS IS".

MILEAGE WARRANTY PROCESS

The Mileage Warranty is only applicable at participating authorised Mickey Thompson Dealers in capital cities within Australia. Most capital city stores do. All country stores do not. Ask your tyre dealer if they participate in this programme.

How to maintain the warranty
Every 10,000km you need to visit any authorised Mickey Thompson dealer to have your warranty card endorsed. Before endorsement, your tyres will be inspected for wear and if considered necessary by the dealer, balanced and rotated and steering aligned. Dealers have the right to refuse endorsing your warranty card if a fault is present in your vehicle that is causing erratic or rapid tyre wear.

What it will cost you
Check the Warranty Card as it has a special low price for this service for Mickey Thompson customers. This price is valid only at the selling dealer. Other dealers may have set different charges due to local costs and conditions.

How to Claim on any Shortfall
As long as an authorised Mickey Thompson dealer has endorsed your warranty card every 10,000 km and the original warranty card and invoices for the regular services are forwarded to your Mickey Thompson state distributor. The state distributor will then organize through an authorised Mickey Thompson dealer to credit you with any shortfall you may be eligible for based on the warranty conditions off the purchase of your replacement Mickey Thompson tyres.

Who isn't Eligible for the Warranty?
· Taxi or Hire vehicles.
· A participating dealer has the right to refuse or vary the warranty period based on their discretion, or because of the particular use of the vehicle.
· Tyres that exhibit extreme or abnormal use may have their adjustment altered rather than declined.
· The mileage warranty is only applicable to Capital City purchases. When used in the same conditions, Mickey Thompson Tires will usually outlast most competitor brands. However, some areas in Australia will cause rapid wear beyond normal use with any brand. That is why the mileage warranty is restricted to Mickey Thompson tyres purchased and normally used in Capital Cities.
