MEDIUM RADIAL TRUCK WARRANTY - 04/2021
Download WarrantyThis Limited Warranty Policy provides for tire replacement under certain specified conditions. This policy applies to all ROADX Radial Truck tires used in normal highway service displaying warrantable conditions. There is no warranty for tires that wear out, fail or become unserviceable because of neglect or mistreatment. It is essential that you adhere to all standard safety and maintenance practices and that you carefully read the terms and conditions defined in this Warranty. Sailun Tire Americas hereby warrants that every new ROADX Radial Truck tire is free from defects in workmanship and material for the life of the original tread of the new tire less 2/32”. The life of the original usable tread ends when the tire has worn down with only 2/32” remaining. Once the tread is worn down to the top of the built-in “wear indicators” in the tread grooves molded at 2/32”, the tire is considered fully worn out regardless of its age or mileage.
