Warranty Info

This warranty applies to the original purchaser of a replacement Mastercraft® passenger or light truck tire and is not transferable. Eligible tires must be purchased new and used on the vehicle which they were originally installed. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims. Additionally, they must be the size, load index, and speed rating equivalent or greater than that specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This warranty applies to the 48 contiguous continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, District of Columbia and Canada. For warranty exclusions see “WHAT ISN’T COVERED”..

If your replacement Mastercraft® branded radial tire becomes unserviceable as a result of an eligible adjustable condition during the first 2/32" (1.6mm) of tread wear, it will be replaced with an equivalent new Mastercraft® tire, FREE OF CHARGE. When the tread is worn more than 2/32" (1.6mm), a replacement charge will be required in order to obtain a replacement tire. You must present proof of purchase and be the original owner when requesting a replacement for your tire.

The replacement charge will be determined by multiplying the dealer's current selling price by the percentage of original tread depth worn from the tire. You must pay for mounting, balancing, and any other additional charges, such as taxes or the acceptance of a higher priced replacement tire.

The following Tread Wear Warranty is a prorated warranty (there is no free replacement period) based on mileage received, and is separate from the Standard Coverage Warranty just covered. No manufacturer or dealer can guarantee you a certain number of miles from a given tire. Driving habits, driving conditions, tire and vehicle maintenance all play a part in the tread life of a tire and all differ with each purchaser. The following replacement Mastercraft® radial tires only are warranted against tread wear out prior to the applicable indicated mileage:

Adjustments will not be made for:

A. Tires that become unserviceable due to:

1. Conditions resulting from road hazards, such as (A) impact damage, (B) cuts, (C) snags, or (D) punctures or (E) vandalism.
2. Conditions such as, but not limited to, uneven, cupping, spotty, feathering tread wear resulting from (A) improper installation, (B) wheel misalignment, (C) tire/wheel assembly imbalance, (D) use of an improper rim, (E) improper mounting or dismounting, (F) misapplication, or (G) use of tire chains.
3. Conditions resulting from consumer damage, such as (A) improper tire and vehicle maintenance, (B) misuse, (C) abuse, (D) accident, fire or chemical corrosion, (E) underinflation, (F) overloading, (G) over deflection, (H) failure to follow recommended rotation practices.

B. Ride complaints after the first 2/32” (1.6mm) of tread wear (including the 45-day Test Drive).

C. Ride complaints on tires branded “Blemish”.

D. Use in any commercial service (i.e. tires used for taxi service, delivery, etc.).

E. Use in any racing or off road applications.

F. Ozone or weather checking on tires over (4) four years from date of manufacture or date of purchase. Proof of purchase is required. Without proof of purchase the manufacturer date will be used to determine eligibility.

G. Tires stored improperly, or

H. Tires that are:

1. Worn unevenly and/or show a difference of 2/32” (1.6mm) between the grooves.
2. Installed on any vehicle other than the vehicle on which they were first installed.
3. Sold or adjusted outside the 48 contiguous Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and the District of Columbia.
4. Acquired as used (tires purchased used, equipped on a pre-owned vehicle, etc.).
5. Altered in any manner (additional siping, buffing, stud pin holes, re-grooving, truing, etc.).
6. Worn to 2/32” (1.6mm) or more than 72 months old (based on date of purchase) whichever comes first. Proof of purchase is required. Without proof of purchase the manufacturer date will be used to determine eligibility.
7. Improperly repaired or with repairs not conforming to the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association standards.

Tires branded “MALWEAR” or “NON-UNIF” (Non-Uniform), or with any other branding are not covered under the Tread Wear Protection provided herein.

Many dealers sell or provide their own warranty coverage for road hazards and/or repairs. Mastercraft® Tire does not provide this coverage. Check with your dealer to determine if Road Hazard/Repair coverage is available from them.

If you receive a replacement tire under the terms of this Warranty, the replacement tire will be covered by the Warranty then currently given by Mastercraft® for the replacement tire.

Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in service or otherwise become unserviceable due to conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer. Nothing in this Warranty is intended to be a representation by Mastercraft® that tire failure cannot occur.

While most tires will need to be replaced sooner, Goodyear recommends that any tire in service (meaning inflated and mounted on a rim of your vehicle, including your spare tire regardless of whether that tire is in contact with the roadway) 6 years or more be replaced even if such tire appears serviceable and even if it has not reached the legal treadwear limit. If you are unable to determine the date a tire was first placed in service, then you should rely on the DOT code stamped on the tire and ensure that any tire which was manufactured more than 6 years ago is removed from service (see below for how to read a tire’s DOT code). Tires that should otherwise be replaced based on wear, damage or any other factor should not be kept in service regardless of the date they were first placed in service or their date of manufacture. Also, consumers should never purchase or install used tires of any age on their vehicle as the service, maintenance and storage history of used tires is largely unknown. Various automobile manufacturers have published statements and instructions regarding tire service life, which include tire replacement recommendations based on chronological age. Goodyear advises that consumers refer to their owners’ manuals for guidance on the vehicle manufacturer’s replacement recommendations (but regardless of any such vehicle manufacturer’s advice, any tire’s replacement period should not exceed 6 years from the date the tire is placed in service or 6 years from the date included in the DOT code on the sidewall of the tire if you are unable to determine the date the tire was first placed in service).

Never purchase used tires! Previous usage may have damaged internal components. This damage may lead to sudden tire failure.

Some states do not allow exclusion of incidental or consequential damages. As a result, this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

When making a claim, you must return the tire to be replaced to your Mastercraft® dealer.

Proper vehicle and tire care is necessary to obtain the expected wear from a tire. It is your obligation to properly maintain your tires and the vehicle upon which they are mounted, including: (A) operating your tires at the inflation pressures recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, (B) keeping your tire/wheel assemblies in balance, (C) proper wheel alignment, and (D) rotation. You must check your tire’s air pressure at least monthly and before long trips.

We recommend that you have your Mastercraft® dealer inspect your tires any time you notice irregular of uneven tread wear and rotate them, if necessary. Also, they should be inspected by your dealer any time your vehicle is brought in for service.
