Aeolus Limited Warranty
This Limited Warranty Policy provides for tire replacement under certain specified conditions. This policy applies to all Aeolus Radial Truck tires used in normal highway service displaying warrantable conditions. There is no warranty for tires that wear out, fail or become unserviceable because of neglect or mistreatment. It is essential that you adhere to all standard safety and maintenance practices and that you carefully read the terms and conditions defined in this Warranty.
Aeolus hereby warrants that every new Aeolus Radial Truck tire is free from defects in workmanship and material for the life of the original tread of the new tire less 2/32”. The life of the original usable tread ends when the tire has worn down with only 2/32” remaining. Once the tread is worn down to the top of the built-in “wear indicators” in the tread grooves molded at 2/32”, the tire is considered fully worn out regardless of its age or mileage.
Aeolus Radial Truck tire warranties are serviced by Dynamic Tire Corporation.
Warranty Eligibility
This policy applies to the original consumer/owner or user of any new Aeolus Radial Truck tire sold through Dynamic Tire Corporation. Eligible tires must bear the Aeolus Brand name and a complete D.O.T. serial identification number and operated in normal highway service. Eligible tires must be on the vehicle on which they were originally installed, in conformance with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. These tires are covered by this warranty for the life of the original usable tread depth (the original tread depth down to the level of treadwear indicators molded at 2/32 inch) within 48 months from the date of purchase (proof of purchase required) or if proof of purchase is not available the coverage will be 48 months from the date of manufacture.
No Charge Adjustment
If a defect in workmanship and materials is found in any Aeolus Radial Truck tire within the first 2/32” or 10% of the original usable tread, whichever comes first, Aeolus will replace such tire with a comparable new tire.
Any costs incurred for mounting and balancing services are payable by the owner.
Prorated Adjustment
If a defect in workmanship and materials is found in any Aeolus Radial Truck tire after the first 2/32” of the original tread, a credit will be given toward the purchase of a comparable new Aeolus tire in proportion to the original usable tread remaining on the returned tire to the original usable tread of the new tire. Applicable taxes on the new tire and costs of mounting and balancing services will be borne by the owner. Adjustments on out-of-balance or out-of-round tires are allowed only during the first 2/32” or 10% of the original tread.
