The General Tire brand tires listed on www.generaltire.com (U.S.) or www.generaltire.ca (Canada) website are warranted against wear-out up to the indicated mileage/kilometer coverage. Please note that the actual mileage or kilometers you achieve from your tires may vary based on driving habits and road conditions.
Subject to the provisions outlined in Section 6 below, if any tire listed in this section wears out before reaching the stated mileage or kilometer coverage indicated on the www.generaltire.com (U.S.) or www.generaltire.ca (Canada) websites, General Tire will provide a pro-rata warranty for the tire, as described herein. Wearout refers to when the tire’s tread has worn evenly down to the tread wear indicators, with 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
For the purposes of this Mileage Warranty, “pro-rata” is calculated based on the odometer readings at the time of the tire’s original purchase, as shown on the original receipt and proof-of-purchase, compared to the odometer reading at the time of replacement. Additionally, you must provide a fully completed and legible Rotation Schedule (see page 12), which is included in the original owner’s copy of the tire’s Limited Warranty.
Exclusions
- Tire(s) that have not been rotated at least every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10-13,000 kilometers), or sooner if uneven wear begins to appear, as evidenced by a completed Rotation Schedule, are excluded from this coverage.
- On vehicles with staggered/split fitments (different size tires on front and rear axle), tires cannot be rotated between the front and rear axle. Without rotation of tires between the front and rear axle, the expected mileage/kilometers before wearout are significantly lower, especially on the rear axle. Therefore, the Mileage Warranty for tires on the rear axle of these vehicles will be 50% of the standard Mileage Limited Warranty for the product line.
- Tire(s) in service for more than 72 months, regardless of mileage, are not covered.
Owner Responsibilities
The owner pays shipping, mounting, balancing, and all applicable taxes (including F.E.T) under the Mileage Warranty.

Speed Ratings
The letters represent the maximum speed a tire can sustain under its recommended load capacity. Even though a tire can perform at this speed, we do not advocate exceeding legal speed limits:
- S = 112 mph
- T = 118 mph
- H = 130 mph
- V = 149 mph

Pro-Rata Replacement Calculation
You will receive a comparable new General Brand tire with payment of the replacement price based on the percentage of actual mileage/kilometers received to the mileage/kilometers covered. Your replacement cost will be determined by dividing the actual mileage/kilometers delivered by the miles/kilometers warranted and multiplying the result times the current price of an equivalent or comparable replacement.
Sample Calculation:
The tire you present for Limited Warranty has a Mileage Warranty of 60,000 miles. At the time of the tire purchase, the vehicle’s odometer reading was 20,000 miles. At the time the tire was presented for warranty, the vehicle’s odometer reading was 65,000 miles. You also present a completed and up to date Mileage Warranty Rotation Schedule, and the tire(s) are worn evenly down to 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining, according to the Tread Wear Indicators.
-
Determine the mileage received on adjusted tires:
- 65,000 miles – 20,000 miles = 45,000 miles
-
Determine Your pro-rata replacement tire cost percentage:
- 45,000 / 60,000 X 100 = 75% (round to the nearest whole percentage).
-
Your pro-rata cost for the replacement tire is determined by multiplying the percentage of mileage received (75%) by the current purchase price for the replacement tire (e.g., $130.02):
- Example calculation is: 75% x $130.02 = $97.52
- The credit allowance for the mileage not received equals:
- $130.02 - $97.52 = $32.50 towards the next purchase of any General Tire product line.
You will pay the equivalent pro-rata cost for the tire plus all applicable taxes (including applicable F.E.T), shipping, mounting and balancing, local tire disposal fees, and any other parts or services.
At the time of making a claim, owner is required to present the tires and original tire proof-of-purchase showing date of purchase. If satisfactory proof-of-purchase date is not provided, the DOT (Tire Identification Number) date of manufacture will be used.
A “comparable” new General Tire brand tire may be of either the same tire line or equivalent construction but with a different sidewall or tread configuration. The Limited Warranty covers tires of equal or lesser value. If the customer accepts a higher-priced tire, the customer is responsible for covering any difference in price.
