Americus Rugged All-Terrain Tire

Eligibility

This Limited Protection Policy applies to Americus brand passenger, light truck and specialty trailer tires purchased on or after January 1, 2020, or, in the absence of proof of purchase, tires with a manufacturing DOT code reading DOT 0120 or later. Eligible tires are covered by this Limited Protection Policy for up to 60 months from the date of purchase or tire manufacturer date. This Limited Protection Policy applies to the original owner of new Americus branded passenger, light truck and specialty trailer tires that are operated in normal service and used on the same vehicle on which they were originally installed according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. Only Americus tires purchased and operated in the United States and Canada are covered by this Limited Protection Policy. For Americus branded product purchased thru an online retailer, a tire claim must go back to the original selling Americus dealer. The online retailer where the Americus branded product was purchased would need to facilitate the claim with that authorized Americus dealer on the consumer's behalf.

Mileage coverage plan

If an eligible tire wears down to the treadwear indicator bars (2/32") and the tire has not covered 55,000 miles, Americus will provide a prorated adjustment based on actual mileage delivered. The cost of mounting, balancing and any other service charges including applicable taxes are excluded from reimbursement.

The Mileage Coverage Plan applies only to the original purchaser and the tires have been used only on the vehicle on which they were originally installed according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. The Mileage Coverage Plan does not apply to tires used in commercial applications. Tires that have not been rotated at least every 6,000 miles as evidenced by a completed rotation schedule are excluded. Likewise, tires in service for more than 60 months regardless of mileage attained are excluded

• Improper operation or maintenance. This includes, but is not limited to, effects caused by improper tire inflation and/or improper load/speed practices and/or improper or insufficient tire rotation.

Owner's obligations

To make an eligible claim under this Limited Protection Policy, tires must be rotated with the prescribed rotation patterns as recommended by either the vehicle owner's manual or an authorized Americus tire dealer. Owner must present an original tire sales invoice indicating the date of purchase, tire description and odometer mileage. Adjustment tires must be presented to an authorized Americus dealer and those tires replaced become the property of Americus Tires. Installation charges such as mounting, dismounting and balancing, as well as, any applicable taxes and government-mandated charges on the services rendered at the time of adjustment is the owner's responsibility. Adjustment claims must be completed on an approved claim form, supplied by an authorized Americus dealer, and submitted at time of adjustment.
