What Constitutes Road Hazard Damage?

Tire Manufacturers are responsible for claims related to materials or workmanship when the tire is manufactured. Insurance companies cover damage caused by auto accidents. The Road Hazard program reimburses for tire damage caused by things such as metal, glass, rocks, potholes or whatever might be on the road.

What the nationwide road hazard warranty does for you:

Tire replaced for 36 months from the retail date of sale when damaged by valid road hazard, while the tread depth remaining is 2/32” or more. Tire replacement of the original purchase price, replacement tire cost, or benefit level (whichever is less) is covered as follows:
- 1st year = 100% replacement
- 2nd year = 50% replacement
- 3rd year = 25% replacement
Every level of coverage includes coast-to-coast, 24/7 Flat Tire Changing Assistance with reimbursement up to $60 as a core benefit.
Up to $20 reimbursement for flat repairs is available to the dealer for up to two incidents during the covered period.

Three levels of coverage ensure road hazard sales on a variety of tire prices: up to $100, up to $150, and up to $250. Maximum coverage is only $250 per tire, if customer buys a more expensive tire than $250 customer will have to pay the balance above $250 out of pocket.

A validation stamp for each covered tire must be permanently affixed to your purchase invoice.

WHAT IS A ROAD HAZARD:
A road hazard occurs when a tire fails due to a puncture, bruise or break incurred during the course of driving on a maintained road. Nails, glass and potholes are the most common examples.

2. You must present your original purchase invoice showing the purchase of the road hazard protection with the validation stamp(s) attached.
3. For a tire replacement you must surrender the corresponding validation stamp(s). (A photocopy of your original invoice with the validation stamps attached will be accepted for a repair).

FLAT TIRE CHANGING ASSISTANCE:
For 24 months from the date of purchase of this road hazard protection plan, you may receive reimbursement for flat tire changing assistance provided by a licensed service provider of your choice. You will be reimbursed up to $50.00 for eligible expenses incurred for flat tire changing assistance. Flat tire changing assistance is strictly limited to the installation of your useable spare tire. You must have a useable spare tire. If you need a tow, you are solely responsible for any charges. You will not be reimbursed for any tow charges. Certain vehicles may not be eligible for flat tire changing assistance. Certain vehicles may incur charges greater than the amount reimbursable for this benefit. This benefit applies only to motorized, passenger vehicles and specifically excludes trailers. If you are unable to locate a provider, please call the toll-free number printed on your validation stamp. This service provider requires use of a credit card to arrange for dispatch.

FLAT TIRE REPAIR:
If your tire is damaged due to a road hazard as outlined above and can be safely repaired, the tire may be repaired at any participating facility. The repair will be covered for up to $10.00 per tire per occurrence. You are responsible for any additional charges beyond $10.00 including but not limited to balancing and taxes. The road hazard protection will remain in effect until the tire is worn down to 2/32”. You do not need to purchase new road hazard protection for a tire that has been repaired. THIS BENEFIT IS NOT VALID IN ALL AREAS. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR VALIDATION STAMP TO VERIFY COVERAGE.

TIRE REPLACEMENT COVERAGE:
If a tire covered by this road hazard protection plan becomes unserviceable due to a road hazard during the useable tread life of the tire, it will be replaced with a comparable new tire. If available, an exact make/model replacement will be installed. If not available, a comparable quality tire will be installed. Under no circumstances will the coverage exceed the maximum value imprinted on the validation stamp(s). You are responsible for any additional charges including but not limited to mounting, balancing, taxes and miscellaneous fees. When a tire failure occurs in the first 25% of useable tread wear, and in the opinion of the servicing dealer the tire cannot be safely repaired, the tire will be replaced with coverage up to the original purchase price of the tire(s) or the replacement tire cost, whichever is the lesser. After the first 25% of useable tread wear the covered amount is calculated based on the consumed useable tread wear and the original purchase price of the tire(s) or the replacement tire cost, whichever is the lesser. When a tire is worn down to 2/32” (tread wear indicators) the tire is considered worn out and is not eligible for any adjustment. IF YOU DESIRE TO MAINTAIN THE ROAD HAZARD PROTECTION ON THE REPLACEMENT TIRE, YOU MUST PURCHASE A NEW ROAD HAZARD PROTECTION PLAN FOR THE TIRE.
