Road Hazard Warranty

NationWide Road Hazard Plan

IS A TIRE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY A GOOD IDEA?

A road hazard damage is a damage that occurs when a tire fails as a result of a puncture, sidewall impact bruise or impact break incurred during the course of normal driving on a maintained road. These types of road hazards are not typically covered under the tires manufactures’ warranties; so many drivers value the peace of mind that Tire Road Hazard Protection provides.

WHAT YOU MUST DO TO OBTAIN SERVICE

If possible, you should return to the selling dealer where you originally purchased this Plan, for tire repair or replacement. If you are away from the original selling dealer, you must contact the Program Administrator by calling 866-830-4189 for assistance in locating the nearest participating facility. 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) AND THE PLAN. 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 facility or the Program Administrator within 60 days of the date of failure and/or service. This Plan does not have a deductible.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THE PLAN

The Plan is valid for a period of 3 years or until any portion of the tire is worn to 2/32 of an inch or less, whichever occurs first.

Tire Replacement:If a tire becomes unserviceable because of a road hazard during the useable tread life of the tire, it will be replaced with a new tire. If available, an exact make/model replacement tire will be installed. If not available, a comparable quality tire will be installed. If the tire failure occurs within the first 33% of useable treadwear, and cannot be safely repaired per manufacturer's guidelines, the tire will be replaced with coverage up to 100% of the original price paid for the tire. After the first 33% of useable treadwear, you will be charged for the consumed useable treadwear on the original tire, times the original selling price of the tire. You will be responsible for any taxes, mounting, balancing, and any other miscellaneous fees. When the tread is worn down to 2/32" the tire is considered worn out and is not eligible for adjustment. If you want a Plan on the replacement tire, you must purchase a new Plan for the new tire.

Tire Repair:If your tire is damaged due to a road hazard and can be safely repaired, the tire will be repaired per manufacturer's guidelines at any participating facility. The Plan will cover up $20.00 to have the tire repaired. The Plan will remain in effect.
