THOSE who just got quality tires for their vehicle are probably wondering what the inclusions are in the warranty. One always has to remember that maintaining tires is very important to keep him safe on the road. For those who have purchased new tires from Bridgestone, here are the things they need to know about the brand’s warranty program:

Tire Warranty Eligibility

The brand offers a limited warranty program that covers all Bridgestone brand passenger and light truck tires—except “temporary use” spare tires. One can enjoy hassle-free tire maintenance for seven years under certain conditions. To keep this valid, it is the owner’s obligation to perform regular tire inspection and maintenance practices such as but not limited to: operating tires at the proper tire inflation pressures as specified by the vehicle manufacturer and within tire/vehicle load capacity and speed limitations; and maintaining proper wheel alignment and tire/wheel assembly balance.

Tire adjustments under this limited warranty, including those for Bridgestone Run-Flat tires, will only be made at an authorized retailer (see link for list of retailers: https://bridgestonetires.com.ph/tire-center). These retailers should be able to provide customers with proper guidance on how to go about warranty claims, perform tire adjustments and more. The limited warranty applies only to the original purchaser, and is valid if all of the following apply:

• The tire was purchased from an official Bridgestone retailer.
• The tire is a size and speed rating equivalent to or greater than that specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• The tire has been used only on the vehicle on which it was originally installed.
• The tire has not been used in commercial service.
• The tire has not been imported or manufactured from South America and South Africa.
