LIMITED WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS WARRANTY

Congratulations on your purchase of your new tires from Payless Daily Inc.(“Walmart”)! This Limited Workmanship and Materials Warranty applies to all tires that are purchased from Payless Daily or paylessdailyonline.com and installed at a Payless Daily Auto Care Center (“ACC”) within a Payless Daily store. This warranty is backed by Payless Daily and protects the original purchaser from defects in the raw materials or quality of workmanship that require a tire to be removed from service. Payless Daily stands behind the warranties of the tires that we sell. We do not send tires back to the manufacturer for warranty.

HOW LONG IS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY VALID?

Under this limited warranty, tires found to be defective will be covered by this warranty for the life of the tire, as measured by the usable tread depth. Usable tread depth is defined as the depth of the tread down to the final 2/32nds of an inch. The last 2/32nds is not considered usable tread. Payless Daily will measure and determine the usable tread depth.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?

This Limited Workmanship and Materials Warranty (hereafter sometimes referred to as “Limited Warranty and/or “Warranty”) provides additional coverage to tires purchased and installed at Payless Daily that are “defective,” defined as conditions that require a tire to be removed from service due to defects in the raw materials or quality of workmanship. Payless Daily, at its sole discretion, will determine whether a tire is defective and is therefore eligible for replacement under this Limited Warranty. Tires that are deemed defective will be replaced free of charge (except for installation cost and applicable taxes and government-mandated charges) during the first 25% of usable tread or one (1) year, whichever comes first.  Tires that are worn beyond the first 25% of usable tread or are over one (1) year from the date of purchase, will be replaced on a pro-rata basis with comparable new tires based on tread depth remaining, in the form of a Payless Daily tire credit. Usable tread depth is defined as the depth of the tread down to the final 2/32nds of an inch. The last 2/32nds is not considered usable tread. In addition to the difference between the cost of the replacement tire and the credit amount, you pay the installation cost and any other service charges and applicable taxes and government-mandated charges. In addition, if the defective tire was covered by the Payless Daily Optional Road Hazard Warranty, you will need to purchase new Optional Road Hazard Warranty coverage on the replacement tire if you wish to continue Road Hazard Warranty Coverage for the new tire. If a tire is deemed eligible for warranty replacement and you have complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty, Payless Daily will replace the tires as described under “HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED.” Tires that fail during the warranty period will be eligible for free (except for installation cost and applicable taxes and government-mandated charges) or pro-rata replacement IF AND ONLY IF:

  • You are the original purchaser of the tires, and the tires have been used only on that vehicle.
  • At the time of the adjustment claim, the original tire installation record and the original invoice for purchase of the tires are presented to your local Walmart.
  • The tires have not become unserviceable due to a condition listed under “WHAT IS NOT COVERED."
  • Tires have been rotated every 6,000-7,500 miles.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?

This warranty DOES NOT COVER tires that are damaged or failed due to:

  • Improper repair
  • Vandalism
  • Accident
  • Road hazards
  • Rapid or irregular wear
  • Excessive abuse
  • Misapplication
  • Racing, under-inflation, over-inflation, or other abuse
  • Racing
  • Off-road use
  • Snow chains or studs
  • Worn mechanical components on the vehicle

In addition to the above exclusions, THE WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY to:

  • Tires that have been used in commercial applications, including but not limited to taxi service, towing, government use, and contract sales.
  • Tires that have been used for racing or off-road purposes.
  • Tires that were not rotated every 6,000-7,500 miles.
  • Tires that have been installed on any vehicle other than the vehicle on which they were originally installed.

This Limited Warranty does not provide compensation for inconvenience or incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

HOW ARE REPLACEMENT CHARGES CALCULATED?

If your tire is defective and you have complied with the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty, Payless Daily will provide a free replacement tire (except for the tire installation cost and applicable taxes and government-mandated charges) during the first 25% of usable tread or one (1) year, whichever comes first. Tires that are worn beyond the first 25% of usable tread or are over one (1) year from the date of purchase, will be replaced on a pro-rata basis with comparable new tires based on tread depth remaining, in the form of a Payless Daily tire credit. Usable tread depth is defined as the depth of the tread down to the final 2/32nds of an inch. The last 2/32nds is not considered usable tread. In addition to the difference between the cost of the replacement tire and the credit amount, you pay the tire installation cost and applicable taxes and government-mandated charges. FOR EXAMPLE, if your tire is 1/2 worn at the time your tire is deemed defective, you would receive a credit of half the current price of that tire toward the current price of a new or replacement tire. If the price for a comparable tire is $120, you will pay $60 plus any additional charges such as tire installation cost and any other applicable taxes and fees.


HOW DO I MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?

When making a claim under the terms of this Limited Warranty, you must present your tires and the vehicle on which the tires were used to your local Payless Daily ACC for inspection. To find the location of the nearest Payless Daily that can process the replacement request, visit our website at //paylessdailyonline.com and click on “My Local Store” or call 800-925-6278. You must present your original invoice and your Payless Daily installation record.


CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS.

This limited warranty does not provide compensation for loss of time, loss of use of vehicle, inconvenience, or incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In the event of a disputed claim, you must make the tire available for further inspection. Tires accepted for the claim become Walmart’s property. No Payless Daily representative or employee has the authority to make or imply any representation, promise or agreement that differs in any way from the terms of this Warranty. Warranty only applies within the United States.
CONSUMER RIGHTS. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.


LIMITED TREADWEAR WARRANTY FOR TIRES PURCHASED FROM, AND INSTALLED AT AND BY, Payless Daily

TIRES COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY.

  • This Limited Warranty applies to all tires that have a posted limited treadwear warranty when purchased from Payless Daily or paylessdailyonline.com and installed at, and by, Walmart. This warranty is backed by Walmart. This warranty protects the original purchaser from premature tire wear by providing a pro-rata replacement if the tread wears out before reaching the warranted mileage based on your Payless Daily invoice. The original tread will be considered to be worn down when there are 2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining. If a tire does not reach the warranted mileage prior to becoming worn down to 2/32nds of an inch of tread and you have complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty, Payless Daily will replace the tires as described under “HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED.”

Tires that wear out before achieving the warranted mileage will be replaced on a pro rata basis ONLY IF:

  • You are the original purchaser of the tires and the tires have been used only on the vehicle they were originally put on at the time of purchase.
  • At the time of the adjustment claim, the original tire installation record, and the original invoice for purchase of the tires are presented to your local Walmart.
  • The tires were rotated every 6,000-7,500 miles.
  • The tires have not become unserviceable due to a condition listed under WHAT IS NOT COVERED below.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED

  • This warranty DOES NOT COVER tires that have become unserviceable due to:
    • Road hazard injury (Examples include, but are not limited to, cuts, snags, impact damage or puncture)
    • Improper repair
    • Misapplication, racing, under-inflation, over-inflation, or other abuse
    • Uneven or rapid wear caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment
    • Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism
    • Flat spotting caused by improper storage, or brake lock
    • Cosmetic zone or weather cracking

In addition to the above exclusions, THE WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY to:

  • Tires that have been used in commercial applications, including but not limited to taxi service, towing, government use, and contract sales.
  • Tires that have been used for racing or off-road purposes.
  • Tires that have been installed on any vehicle other than the vehicle on which they were originally installed by Walmart.
  • Tires that have had the tread pattern altered in any manner such as, but not limited to, sipping, carving, shaving, or having any material applied to the surface.

HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED

A mileage tire meeting the conditions for pro rata replacement will be replaced with a comparable new tire based on mileage received, in the form of a Payless Daily store credit. Payless Daily will determine the credit amount by multiplying the percent of mileage received by the then current actual selling price at Walmart. In addition to the difference between the cost of the replacement tire and the credit amount, you pay the tire installation cost and applicable taxes and government-mandated charges. FOR EXAMPLE, if a tire warranted for 40,000 miles wore out after 20,000 miles, you would receive a credit of half the current price of that tire toward the current price of a new or replacement tire. So, if the price for a comparable tire is $120, you would pay $60 plus any additional charges such as tire installation cost and any other applicable taxes and fees.

WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO WHEN MAKING A CLAIM

  • At the time of the adjustment claim, the original tire installation record and the original invoice for purchase of the tires and for your purchase of this Optional Road Hazard Warranty are presented.
  • You are the original purchaser of the tires, the tires were installed by Payless Daily, and the tires have been used only on that same vehicle.
  • The tires have not become unserviceable due to a condition listed under WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS OPTIONAL WARRANTY below.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS OPTIONAL WARRANTY?

This warranty DOES NOT COVER tires that are damaged or failed due to:

  • Improper repair
  • Vandalism
  • Accident
  • Snow chains or studs
  • Worn mechanical components on the vehicle
  • Misapplication
  • Racing, under-inflation, over-inflation, or other abuse
  • Racing
  • Off-road use

HOW ARE REPLACEMENT CHARGES CALCULATED?

Payless Daily will repair a flat tire for free under the provisions of this Warranty (except for the tire installation cost and applicable taxes and government-mandated charges). A tire with a non-repairable puncture and meeting the terms and conditions of the warranty will be replaced with a comparable new tire, as determined by Payless Daily alone, in the form of a Payless Daily Tire credit. Tires meeting the provisions of this Warranty that cannot be repaired will be replaced free of charge (except for installation cost and applicable taxes and government-mandated charges) during the first 25% of usable tread or one (1) year from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. Tires that are worn beyond the first 25% of usable tread or are over one (1) year from the date of purchase, will be replaced on a pro-rata basis with comparable new tires based on tread depth remaining, in the form of a Payless Daily tire credit. The amount of the Payless Daily store credit will be calculated based on the wear of the tire at the time of replacement. FOR EXAMPLE, if your tire is 1/2 worn at the time your tire receives unrepairable damage, you would receive a credit of half the current price of that tire toward the current price of a new or replacement tire. So, if the price for a comparable tire is $120, you would pay $60 plus any additional charges such as tire installation cost and any other applicable taxes and fees. Tires with less than 2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining are not eligible for replacement or repair under this Optional Warranty. The last 2/32nds is not considered usable tread. If your tire is deemed eligible for pro-rata replacement, you will pay the difference between the cost of the new tire and the Payless Daily Tire credit.
