I was just wondering when you guys buy tires do you guys get the warranty or the Certificates for Free Replacement warranty?

The warranty covers flats and a replacement tire, correct?

And if I buy tires on line where would I be able to take the tire to get the warranty?

 

most tires come with the 40k/50k warrenty that covers manufacturer defects... warrentys as far as flats go is probably just the tire shop...

 

The reason I ask is because from discounttire.com there is a Certificates for Free Replacement and from tirerack.com there is a roadhazard warranty.

What do these really cover and what is covered by the tire company?

I have not had any serious probems with tires before.

Are defects taken care by the company? What are tire defects? Are bubbles in the tire defects? Sorry for the ? but I honestly don't know.

I will go to the tireshop when I have time to ask ?'s.

info on the tirerack warrenty

 

thanks,

the tires I was looking at are not covered.

From Tirerack
The following tires are not eligible for the Tire Road Hazard Service Program:
Competition tires
LT Metric sized tires
LT Flotation sized tires
Trailer tires
I was looking at bfg's30x9.5x15.

 

i get the roadhazard bc all i pay is the 30bucks of the roadhazard on the new tire

 

discount tire... got a buddy who works there and gave me the tires heavily discounted and threw in the certificate for free replacements) typically 25 per tire for free

 

if you get the replacement certificates from discount tire the tire is fully covered from any road hazard damage. which means if anything happens to your tire and it cannot be repaired they will replace the tire for free.

 

which also means slashing it on a rock or whatever..thats a bigger reason i got em haha

or hurting them at a low pressure...

 

Cool, when I get my new tires I will get the replacement certificates. Now the warranty sounds like a good idea.

 

i dont waste my money on warranty.

 

hell no

Could you guys elaborate more, give me reason's why you say that?

First I was thinking of not getting any, but then the post above had good reasons.

 

well bought tires from discount tire lets see 4 sets ago... first stupidest thing i have ever done... complete waste of $... not only did they screw up my rims.. but i got overcharged, my stupidity... paid over $100 for there stupid warrenty.... never had a problem with the tires... i have heard of people trying to get the replacement and being hassled... personally i just buy my tires from summitracing.. pay less and mount and balance myself screw shops

 

buy good tires and no need for warranty.

BFGs, GoodYears, Nitto, Bridgstone etc. and no need for warranty.

Take care of the tire, check for pressure every few months and you will never need the service.

 

id say get the replacement thing. my buddy has it for his caprice and he has gotten 4 new tires in under a year. he drives like an a-hole but they replace them. we went to summer nationals and i roasted his tires off. next day we go to firestone and they swap his tires for new ones

 

The day after I bought my truck I noticed I had a chunk of metal sticking out of the tread. I went to discount and they fixed it up for free. I told them up front I didn't buy the tires from them and he said don't worry about it. They fixed it for free. My dad has had 2 tires slashed while hunting (crappy General tires) on separate occasions and discout replaced them both for free. All he had to do was pay $30 for each tire in case it happened again. He smartened up and bought some good Micheline tires. He had a blowout while heading to Mexico with the Michelines. Discount replaced it for free and my dad paid $30 for antoher warrenty. We got back form Cali about 2 weeks ago. Some how we managed to get a screw and a nail in one of his tires, again Discount fixed it for free. I don't mind paying a little more for tires if the tire dealer is going to go above and beyond like they have for my family and me. They even price match. When I bought my BFG's they price matched 4 Wheel Parts. I know I might just have a good store near me but how can you not go back to a store after treating an 18 year old kid with respect and fixing his tire for free?? So back to your question Discount Tire's warrenty is worth it because it pays for itself if you use it, if not well you were lucky. You only have to pay the $30 on each tire. If they fix flats and debris in the tire it doesn't cost $30 again. If they replace the tire then you can pay the $30 again on the new tire if you want the warrenty to continue.

 

Get them. Its a little extra money that will go a long way if needed.

 

oh man I love Gateway . I paid 10 a tire for warranty that includes -
Flat repair (anything weather my fault or not )
Defect replacement
warenty on milage
remount if you pop a bead
and the kicker free rotation and balance for life of the tire ( great service since i live in rural east Texas and off road alot they get unbalanced quick)

 

Hey firstranger, why not get P265/75/R15???
it is about the same size, then you can also get a mileage warranty! Unless you think you would need an LT tire, but I bet not...
