CONFIDENCE WARRANTY POLICY
All tires sold by AP Blue Whale Corp/ North Trend Marketing Corp/ Solid Trend Trade Sales Inc., are free from all manufacturing defects. Our warranty policy covers the standard five (5) year warranty from tire manufacturing date or the tread life of the tire whichever comes first.
EXTENDED WARRANTY POLICY
Entitles the end consumer to an additional two (2) years from the standard warranty program.
ELIGIBILITY FOR CONFIDENCE WARRANTY
This Limited Warranty applies only if all of the following conditions are met:
A. You are the original purchaser of a MAXXIS/ CST/ PRESA brand radial passenger/light truck tire;
B. The tire was originally purchased from an authorized dealer/distributor of AP Blue Whale Corp. or Solid Trend Trade Sales Inc.
C. The tire has been used only on the vehicle on which it was originally installed.
D. The tire has the appropriate size and load range for the vehicle according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation;
E. A claim under this Limited Warranty may be made by presenting to the MAXXIS/ CST/ PRESA authorized dealer/distributor the original proof of purchase for the tires or the email registration confirmation of your warranty.
LIMITED WARRANTY ON MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
Should a radial passenger/light truck tire be determined unserviceable by an authorized dealer/distributor due to a condition other than one listed in the “WHAT IS NOT COVERED” section of this policy, the tire will be replaced with the same or comparable radial passenger/light truck tire at no charge (other than labor and taxes) during the first 10% of tread wear.
After the first 10% of tread wear, should a MAXXIS/ CST/ PRESA radial passenger/light truck tire be determined unserviceable by an authorized dealer/distributor due to a condition other than those listed in the “WHAT IS NOT COVERED” section of this booklet, you will receive a replacement pro-rated credit toward the purchase of a comparable new MAXXIS/ CST/ PRESA tire equal to the percentage of usable tread remaining. Usable tread does not include the last 2/32nds or 1.6mm of tread depth, since tires worn beyond the last 2/32nds or 1.6mm are considered unsafe by law in many states. You are required to pay all labor costs incurred in mounting and balancing the tire to all applicable taxes
YOUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONFIDENCE WARRANTY
In order to claim under this Confidence Warranty, the tires must be properly installed, air pressure should be checked at regular intervals and the tires must be rotated, balanced, and the alignment checked every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers. Charges for required maintenance are your responsibility. Service records for all such required maintenance must be kept and presented upon any claim under this Limited Warranty.
