Tire warranty period is 3 years, and its functions are: 1. Support the full weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. Transmit traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reduce and absorb the vibration and impact force during driving, avoiding severe vibration and early damage to car components; 4. Adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle; 5. Reduce driving noise. Methods for car tire maintenance: 1. Regularly check tire pressure; 2. Remove debris from tire treads; 3. Check tire wear and replace them in time according to the wear condition; 4. Perform four-wheel rotation, which can ensure even force distribution on all four tires and avoid excessive wear.

When I first bought my car, I knew nothing about tire warranties and thought I could just use them carelessly. After a year, the sidewall of the tire bulged, and when I went back to the seller, they said the warranty period is usually 3 to 6 years, depending on the brand and type. For example, the Michelin tires I bought were covered for 6 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep the invoice and couldn’t prove the purchase date, so I was out of luck. Since then, I’ve learned to carefully read the warranty terms: some warranties don’t cover excessive wear, especially for someone like me who drives on rough roads every day, causing tires to wear out prematurely. My advice is to ask the sales staff for details when buying new tires and take photos as proof, so you don’t end up like me.

I used to help sell tires and always reminded customers to be clear about the warranty period. Generally, tire warranties last around 5 years, but it depends on the brand: Bridgestone might offer 5 years, while some Goodyear models only cover 4 years. The key is to confirm the terms on the purchase receipt—don't just look at the duration, but also the mileage limits and wear standards. Some customers forget to check tire pressure when driving on highways, causing tires to wear out quickly and voiding the warranty. I often advise comparing several stores when buying tires—don’t just chase the lowest price. If there’s an issue with the tires, hassle-free claims are what really save you trouble. In short, keep your records safe to avoid letting small oversights lead to big problems.

I've been using tires for over a decade and found that warranty periods aren't one-size-fits-all. The standard is 5 to 6 years, but actual coverage depends on driving habits. For example, since I frequently drive mountain roads where tires wear faster, the warranty may expire earlier as merchants often classify this as normal wear. I recommend having technicians check for tread wear and aging signs during each maintenance to ensure timely claims within warranty. Also, note that different tire types like snow tires versus regular tires have varying warranty periods - always clarify when purchasing.
