2.0 LIMITED MILEAGE WARRANTY

This Limited Mileage Warranty applies to all new consumer (PCR) tires
purchased on or after January 1, 2018 sold or distributed under the Dextero brand bearing the corresponding D.O.T. tire identification number. The
following Dextero brand pattern designs are covered by a limited warranty
for tread wear as follows:

Tire Pattern Mileage Tire Warranty *
TOURING DTR1 50,000 miles / 80,000 Kilometers
DHT2 50,000 miles / 80,000 Kilometers
ALL TERRAIN DAT1 50,000 miles / 80,000 Kilometers
* Half stated mileage warranty for rear of split fitment
* Mileage warranty for P-metric sizes only

2.1 Eligibility

To be eligible, the consumer (PCR) tire must meet the following criteria:

  • Dextero will provide a prorated mileage credit towards the purchase of a comparable Dextero tire. Vehicles with staggered fitments (e.g. front and rear tire sizes are different) cannot be rotated. Therefore, Dextero
    warrants tires mounted in the rear axles of vehicles with staggered fit-
    ments only up to 50% of the warranted miles under the Standard Dextero Mileage warranty.
  • Purchased in the United States or Canada;
  • Is properly serviced and maintained, with periodic rotation, all evidenced by acceptable service records;
  • Tread is evenly worn down to the top of the treadwear indicator bars;
  • Was mounted within 60 months from the date of purchase;
  • The tire is of the correct size and load rating for the make and type of vehicle;
  • The tire has been used on road surfaces for which the tire has been designed;
  • Original proof of purchase with installation miles must be provided;
  • The tire is not subject to exclusion (see Section 2.2 “What is Not Covered by the Limited Mileage Warranty”). Driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and vehicle maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a tire does not reach the warranted mileage, and the owner of the tire has complied with the terms and conditions of the Limited Mileage Warranty, Dextero will replace the tire as follows:

If the eligible tire wears out (down to 2/32 of an inch remaining tread
depth), before warranty miles are achieved, as measured on the properly
functioning odometer of the vehicle under normal passenger car, or
SUV/CUV use, Dextero will make an allowance for the difference of the
warrantied mileage versus the actual mileage achieved toward the pur-
chase of a comparable new Dextero brand tire, prorated on warranted
mileage.
The Authorized Dealer will calculate the replacement allowance by multiplying the percentage of the warranted mileage not received by the retailer’s selling price at the time and place of the adjustment.

  • Tires not rotated in accordance with the prescribed rotation patterns and mileage levels as recommended by either the vehicle manufacturer or Dextero;

of a product return program. The Authorized Dealer will provide a tire reg-
istration card to record the D.O.T. tire identification number, along with the
dealer’s name and address.
The Owner is required to fill in his or her name and address, and mail to
the address printed on the card or make the tire registration online
