Many tire manufacturers offer pro-rated treadwear warranties and sometimes additional coverage for defects. Keep your purchase receipt, as all warranty claims are handled directly with the tire manufacturer. If you purchased your tires from us, we can assist you in starting a claim.

This also reduces wear on your primary wheels including preventing damage due to corrosion from salt and sand applied during winter months.
