Kumho Tire U.S.A., Incorporated Warranty Department

  • I.WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG

    Kumho warrants that a tire manufactured by Kumho and/or equipped originally on the vehicle is free from defects in materials and/or workmanship in normal use for the life of the original usable tread. The life of the original usable tread ends when the tire tread has been worn down with only 2/32” (1.6 mm) remaining, at which point the tire is considered to be fully worn out.

    PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
    • A. Free replacement

      If a Kumho Radial Passenger or Light Truck tire fails as a result of defect in materials and/or workmanship within the first 2/32” of the original tread depth, the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable Kumho tire at no charge including mounting and balancing charges.

    • B. Pro-rata replacement

      A tire not qualifying for free replacement will be given a credit toward the purchase of a new, comparable Kumho tire based upon the amount of tread actually worn. The cost of mounting, balancing and any other service charges or applicable taxes should be paid by the user. Otherwise adjustment for compensation will be made on a pro-rata basis calculated by multiplying the actual current dealer selling price by the percentage of remaining usable tread depth.

    KUMHO TEMPORARY TIRE
    • A.

      A Temporary Tire weighs less and provides more trunk storage space than a conventional tire. To conserve tire tread life, the temporary tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as it is convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.

    • B.

      If a Kumho Temporary Tire fails as a result of defect in materials and/or workmanship during the first 50% of usable tread wear, the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable tire at no charge including mounting and balancing charges. No adjustment will be made for tires that are worn more than 50%.
