• Your tires bear Department of Transportation prescribed tire identification numbers and are not branded “NA” (Not Adjustable), or “Blem” (Blemish) and
• Your FORTUNE brand Passenger Car, Light Truck, or ST01 and FST02 ST Radial Tires have been used only on the vehicle on which they were originally installed according to the vehicle or tire manufacturer’s recommendations and

WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
NO-CHARGE REPLACEMENT
FORTUNE tires covered by this warranty that become unserviceable due to Road Hazard, or a defect in workmanship or material during the first 2/32nds of usable tread depth will be replaced with a comparable new FORTUNE tire without charge. The cost of any other service charges, including mounting and balancing, alignment, disposal fees or applicable taxes are payable by you.
PRO-RATED REPLACEMENT
Tires worn beyond the first 2/32nds of usable tread that become unserviceable due to defects in workmanship or material will be replaced on a prorated basis. You are responsible for the cost of mounting and balancing, along with other service charges, disposal fees, or applicable taxes.
HOW PRORATED CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
The replacement price is determined by multiplying the dealer’s current FORTUNE replacement tire price by the percentage of tread worn from the original tread. Additionally, you are responsible for covering the expenses related to mounting, balancing, and other service charges, disposal fees, or applicable taxes.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A “comparable” new FORTUNE tire may either be the same line of tire or, if the tire is not available, a tire of the same basic construction and quality with a different sidewall or tread design. If a higher-priced tire is accepted as replacement, the difference in price will be at an additional charge to you. Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty will be covered by the FORTUNE passenger car and light truck warranty in effect at the time of replacement.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?
- Tires branded or marked “Non-adjustable (N/A)”, or “Blemished (Blem)”, or previously adjusted.
- Irregular wear or tire damage due to:
- Road Hazards (including punctures, cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.) after the first 2/32nds
- Wreck, collision, fire, or vandalism.
- Improper inflation, overloading, misapplication, misuse, negligence, high-speed tire spinning, chain damage, improper mounting or demounting.
- Mechanical condition of the vehicle, including misalignment, wheel imbalance, faulty shocks or brakes.
- Ride disturbance after the first 1/32nd (0.8mm) of tread depth or due to damaged wheels. “Ride disturbance” means shakes and bounces of vehicle caused by unbalanced tire-rim-assembly, out of round tires, etc., which bring unpleasant feelings or experience to drivers or passengers. Ride disturbance claims will also not be accepted on 3 or more tires from the same vehicle.
- Cost of Mounting and Balancing.
- Ozone or weather cracking on tires over four (4) years from the date of manufacture.
- Alteration of the tire or addition of alien material or transfer from one vehicle to another.
- Loss of time or use inconvenience, or any incidental or consequential damages.
- Tires used in commercial service unless denoted for such use as by the manufacturer.
- Tires used in racing or competitive related events.
- Tires used outside the United States and/or Canada.
- Tires purchased from unauthorized dealers.
WHEN DOES THE WARRANTY END?
When a FORTUNE brand Passenger Car or Light Truck Tire has delivered its full original tread life down to 2/32nds (1.6mm) remaining at any given spot in the tread area, or five (5) years from the new tire purchase date or seven (7) years from the date of original tire manufacture, whichever comes first. For ST Trailer tires warranty ends after the tire has delivered its full original tread life down to 2/32nds (1.6mm) remaining at any given spot in the tread area, or three (3) years from tire purchase date or five (5) years from the date of manufacturer, whichever comes first.

Failure to rotate tires every 5000 miles or according to the vehicle manufacturers instructions voids the treadwear warranty. If tires on a vehicle are different sizes for the front and rear, thus preventing proper rotation, then the mileage warranty will be for half of the warranties stated. Tires used in commercial service have no mileage warranty.
