Is Tire Bulging Covered Under the Three Guarantees Policy for New Cars?

[DiLola]

Tire bulging may or may not be covered under the Three Guarantees policy depending on the circumstances. Most new car tires come with a one-year warranty. If bulging or other issues occur during the warranty period and are confirmed by national authoritative departments to be caused by manufacturing defects, then it falls within the Three Guarantees coverage, and the manufacturer will provide compensation or replacement according to the Three Guarantees law. However, if the bulging is due to the owner's own actions, it is not covered, and the 4S store cannot provide a free replacement. Additional information: Regardless of whether the bulging is caused by external damage or quality issues, consumers should immediately take the tire to a 4S store for inspection upon discovery. If unsatisfied with the inspection results, consumers can request the 4S store to send the tire to the manufacturer for further appraisal and obtain an official appraisal report to determine the cause of the bulging. Alternatively, consumers can take the tire to specialized inspection agencies, return it to the manufacturer for testing, or submit it to a quality inspection institute for evaluation.
