CUSTOMER CARE PLAN FOR TIRES
Upon purchase of tires for Passenger and Light Truck vehicles from Kal Tire, Kal Tire will provide the following FREE Customer Care Plan to the original purchaser and in respect of the original vehicle for which the tires were purchased. Excludes motor homes and specialty line applications, i.e. Off-Road (construction and mining) and Mud Boggers, as well as medium truck tires (commercial vehicles, semi-trucks and trailers). The claim under the Customer Care Plan for Tires for your Passenger and Light Truck vehicles vehicle may be made at any Kal Tire location during regular business hours. The tires and the vehicle for which the claim is being made, along with the customer’s copy of the original invoice must accompany any claim.
Tread Wear Expectation: If the eligible tire(s) wear evenly across the face of the tread and wear down to 2/32 of an inch prior to the kilometre guarantee for the specific tire(s) as provided by the tire manufacturer, Kal Tire will replace the tire(s) with comparable new tires at a pro-rated price. Pro-rated price will be calculated by dividing the actual distance travelled by the expected distance, multiplied by the current price. It is the purchaser’s obligation to ensure proper tire care and to avoid abnormal use to prevent abnormal wear, otherwise this warranty will be voided. Proper tire care include: tire rotation every 8,000 to 10,000 km, properly aligned wheels, and proper tire inflation. Please keep a record of all tire rotations and wheel alignments, as Kal Tire reserves the right to require these for warranty claims. Tire inflation should be checked once a month.
Staggered fitments: some vehicles come from the vehicle manufacturer with ‘staggered fitment’ – meaning different sizes of tires on the front and rear axles. Because these tires cannot be rotated, the mileage warranty on each tire will cover half the number of kilometres as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire design.
Road Hazard Protection: Any of the tires which fail and in Kal Tire’s opinion are not repairable due to road hazard damage like cuts, bruises, and punctures, will be replaced with a comparable new tire within the first 30 days of purchase at no charge, excluding installation charges which are the responsibility of the purchaser. After the first 30 days, from the purchase date, any tires, which fail due to road hazard damage and are not repairable in our opinion, will be replaced with a comparable new tire to be paid for by the purchaser at a replacement cost for the tire(s) which will be calculated on a pro-rated basis. The replacement cost will be calculated as follows: percentage of tread depth used multiplied by the current selling price of the replacement tire at the time of return, plus associated installation charges.
30 Day satisfaction guarantee: If you are unhappy with your tires with-in 30 days of purchase and you have worn no more than 2/32’s of tread, bring them back and Kal Tire will provide a full credit of the purchase price of the tires towards a new set of tires. Installation charges will apply.
Free Flat Repairs: If you get a flat tire and it is repairable, bring your vehicle into any Kal Tire location and we will fix the tire at no charge for the entire life of your tires.
Purchaser’s Obligation: Proper tire care is necessary to obtain the maximum mileage and wear from a tire, and to qualify for the Customer Care Plan. You are required to rotate and inspect your tires every 8,000-10,000 km. Kal Tire provides this service at no charge. Purchasers must also ensure their vehicle is in proper alignment to prevent abnormal tire wear. Abnormal wear could void our Customer Care Plan for tires warranty. You also need to ensure that the tires operate at the proper cold inflation pressure as outlined in the owner’s manual or on the invoice. Tire inflation should be checked once a month. This will be provided at no charge by any Kal Tire store.
