the original consumer purchaser that all KUMHO replacement radial tires either

the CANADA, and becomes unserviceable for any reason within the manufacturers
control, such tire will be replaced with an equivalent KUMHO tire. Should any tire
manufactured by Kumho Tire Co., Inc. covered by this warranty become unserviceable
due to a material or workmanship condition during its useable tread life (more than
2/32" remaining tread) before 6 years from the date of manufacture or purchase date
supported with proof of purchase for every passenger and light truck tire (whichever
comes first), and before 5 years (6 years for KLS02e, KLD01e, and KLT02e patterns)

costs of mounting and balancing service are payable by the owner.
To obtain the credit percentage, please refer to Adjustment Credit
Percentage Table or utilize the following example:
R.T.D.: Remaining Tread Depth
O.T.D.: Original Tread Depth

: remaining usable tread depth) ÷ (10 – 2 : original useable tread depth) =
38%

Tires purchased from unauthorized KUMHO dealers do not qualify for the KUMHO
Replacement Equipment Warranty. It is impossible for us to verify that these tires
were stored properly, mounted correctly, or originally intended for sale in Canada.
For this reason, KUMHO cannot guarantee the safety or quality of the products
purchased from unauthorized marketplace.
As a consumer, you should only purchase KUMHO products from an authorized KUMHO
Dealer in order to ensure that the manufacturer’s warranty is preserved. Please see
the Dealer Locator on our website to find an authorized KUMHO dealer near you.

Replacement of two tires: Kumho Tire recommends replacing all four tires at
the same time. However, when only two tires are replaced, the new tires
should be put on the rear. The newer tires, with deeper tread, may provide
better grip and water evacuation in wet driving conditions.
B.
Mixing tire manufacturers or models can cause the vehicle to ride
differently, depending on the location of the tire.
C.
When replacing existing tires, note that different categories like
Performance, Touring and Grand Touring have their own characteristics and
are not designed to perform the same.
D.
Changing performance categories and/or performance ranges can change the way
the vehicle performs and can increase noise, harshness, and vibrations
(NHV). You should NOT have tires installed that do not meet the requirements
of the vehicle.
