Is There a Warranty for New Car Tires?
1 Answers
New car tires do come with a warranty, typically lasting 2 to 3 years. The warranty mainly covers tire quality issues such as unexplained bulges or blowouts, which require professional assessment by the manufacturer. If the issue is determined to be a quality defect, the tire will be replaced free of charge. However, damages caused by external factors like impacts or punctures are not covered under the warranty, and the associated costs will be borne by the vehicle owner. Below is some extended knowledge on tire maintenance: When checking tire pressure, promptly inflate any underinflated tires to maintain consistent pressure. Failure to do so can lead to rapid wear of the underinflated tire, increased driving resistance, and higher fuel consumption. Avoid hitting obstacles. When driving at high speeds, impacts with obstacles such as potholes can cause severe compression deformation between the obstacle and the tire at the rim flange. This may damage the tire's inner fabric cords, leading to air leakage and eventual bulging. In severe cases, it can cause the tire sidewall to rupture, resulting in sudden deflation. Regularly perform four-wheel alignment checks and dynamic balancing tests. This is crucial as misaligned wheels (e.g., excessive toe-in or toe-out) can cause uneven tire wear, significantly reducing tire lifespan.
