ICYMI Troubleshooter: Are tire problems covered by your vehicle's warranty? — via drivingdotca
Automakers hold a lot of sway when it comes to dictating the manufacturing specs on tires. Car-builders often want quiet operation, smooth running, and good pavement grip over value-oriented tread life. In many cases, the same size of tire on your new car can be vastly different in rubber chemistry than its twin from a tire retailer’s shelf.
Before any warranty claim is considered, the vehicle owner has to provide proof of proper tire maintenance. Fortunately this is usually as simple as keeping them inflated to the recommended pressure and rotating them per the manufacturer’s specs. This may be different than the rotation schedule that the carmaker suggests, so if you want to be sure, most tire-makers’ websites provide these details.
Note that some tire manufacturers exclude certain coverages that they offer for retail-replacement tires, versus those specified and supplied by the automaker as original equipment.When you’re kicking tires on the dealer’s lot, take a closer look at what you’re kicking. Make a mental note of the tire size, load, and speed ratings on the tire’s sidewall and then do a little web hunting for replacement pricing.
