Easy way is to look at the wear indicators in the tread. In the trough of the treads are little bumps. When those bumps become level with the peak of the tread, then it's time to replace the tire.

^^^ beat me to it! Check the wear indicators.....or just wait for the cords to spool out of the tire!

Forget that.....I want to know how to get your tires for life deal! Send me a PM with details.....I could easily rip through 2 or 3 sets a year if I wanted.

my dealership also gave me tires for life, except they have a no abuse policy, so they only replace them under normal driving. O well the stock tires are crap anyway.

Actually, it's unspoken word at most dealerships, but they incorperate the ever famous 15/15 warranty in reality.

15 minutes or 15 miles, whichever comes first.

I've used the sight warranty before when selling a used car.


When the taillights disappear from sight as you drive away, it's no longer under warranty.
