Ameritread Tire VIP Road Hazard Protection Plan is provided with your eligible tire purchase at no additional charge. You must contact the Program Administrator at 832-891-2821 for tire repair or replacement. Prior authorization must be obtained to replace a tire damaged by a road hazard. YOU MUST PRESENT THE ORIGINAL INVOICE SHOWING THE PURCHASE OF THE TIRE(S). The damaged tire must be made available for inspection by the facility and/or the Program Administrator. All claims and any required documentation must be submitted to the Program Administrator within sixty (60) days of the date of road hazard damage and/or service. This plan does not have a deductible. See instructions contained within this VIP Road Hazard Protection Plan for WHAT YOU MUST DO TO MAKE A CLAIM WHEN AN ELIGIBLE TIRE IS DAMAGED.

The VIP Road Hazard Protection Plan (“Plan”) is included with eligible new tires purchased from an authorized Ameritread Tire dealer. This Plan covers only the new eligible tire(s) purchased by the original purchaser. The benefits of this protection are available only for the tires (i) purchased by you, the customer through an authorized Ameritread Tire dealer, (ii) that are listed clearly on the original purchase invoice (“Original Invoice”) for the tires. This Plan is limited to the repair or replacement of the following eligible tire(s) damaged by a road hazard as described below:

*Eligible for tire purchases on or after January 1, 2026

• Total Comfort
• Xtreme Grip
• Trail Command HT
• Trail Command AT
• Trail Command RT
• Trail Command MT

Road hazard damage occurs when a tire fails as a result of a puncture, bruise, or impact break incurred during normal driving on a road maintained by a state or local authority. Nails, glass, and potholes are the most common examples of road hazards. The term “road hazard” does not include sidewall damage from scuffing curbs.

NOTE: Proper tire care is necessary to obtain maximum service from a tire. It is your obligation to maintain your tire’s proper cold inflation pressures as specified by your vehicle’s manufacturer and inspect your tires periodically for damage that could be corrected before creating a condition that would cause the tire to be removed from service.

This Plan is valid for twelve (12) months from the purchase date, as stated on the original purchase receipt, or the first 2/32nds of an inch of treadwear, whichever comes first (the “Coverage Period”) due to a normal road hazard condition. Once a tire is worn beyond 2/32nds of an inch of treadwear or more than twelve (12) months from the date of purchase, this road hazard warranty is null and void. When an eligible tire(s) is replaced, the protection benefits of the replaced tire ends. See below for full coverage details regarding tire replacements and repairs.

Tire Replacement: If during the coverage period an eligible tire becomes unserviceable because of a road hazard, and cannot be safely repaired per the manufacturer’s guidelines, it will be replaced with a new tire. If available, a new eligible tire of the exact make/model will be installed and will be eligible for the same road hazard benefits under a new Plan. If not available, this Plan will cover the cost, up to one hundred percent (100%) of the retail price paid (as stated on the original sales invoice) for the original tire, of a comparable quality tire. You will be responsible for any taxes, mounting, balancing, and any other miscellaneous fees. This Plan does not transfer to the replacement tire. If the replacement tire is not an eligible tire, you must purchase a separate plan, if available, at the time of replacement.

Tire Repair: If your tire is damaged due to a road hazard and can be safely repaired, the tire will be repaired per the manufacturer’s guidelines at any authorized Ameritread Tire dealer. This Plan will cover up to $25.00 to have the tire repaired. This Plan will remain in effect.

The VIP Road Hazard Protection Plan is a supplement to the Ameritread Tire Limited Warranty that accompanied the tires you purchased. The warranty exclusions and limitations of that Limited Warranty apply to this Plan.

You will not be eligible for replacement or repair if the tires:

• Are not installed on the original installation non-commercial vehicle;
• Were not operated in normal highway use in the United States;
• Exhibit damage from defective wheel or vehicle conditions;
• Exhibit damage from negligence, abuse or improper inflation or load.

The following vehicles are not eligible for Plan coverage:

• Vehicles with a manufacturer’s load rating capacity of greater than one (1) ton;
• Vehicles used for farm or agricultural purposes;
• Commercial vehicles.

Coverage excludes damage from off-road use, collision, fire, vandalism, theft, snow chains, manufacturer’s defects, abuse and neglect (i.e., improper application, improper inflation, overloading, brake lock up, wheel spinning, torque snags, etc.), cosmetic damage, sidewall abrasions or other appearance items that do not affect the safety or performance of the tire. Tires with torn beads.

Also excluded are damages or irregular wear caused by misalignment, mechanical failures or interference with vehicle components, tires that have been repaired in a manner other than per manufacturer’s guidelines.

This Plan covers only the vehicle registered to the customer and listed on the initial invoice.

CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARE EXCLUDED.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In addition, some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This VIP Road Hazard Protection Plan gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state. This Plan is amended to comply with the individual state requirements for the issuing dealer’s state.

You may opt out of the benefits provided to you under this Plan by contacting the Program Administrator. This Plan is offered to you as a benefit at no additional cost with the purchase of your eligible tire; therefore, it has no independent monetary value.
