The Road Ready Protection Plan

Fountain Tire’s Road Hazard Protection Plan covers all passenger vehicle tires, P-metric and as well as select Kumho and Sailun “heavy load” light truck tires that become unrepairable or unserviceable due to a cut or puncture caused directly by road hazards such as potholes, nails, glass, or debris on a roadway. Tires will be replaced with the same type of new tire (if available), or a comparable new tire of the same basic construction, on a pro-rated basis. The coverage applies only to the specific tire damaged by road hazard failure and does not extend to other tires on the vehicle. Coverage is valid for 5 years from the date of purchase or until the tire tread depth reaches 2/32" or less, whichever comes first.

A tire processing fee plus mounting, balancing, and any applicable sales taxes will apply.

If you’re not completely happy with your new tires, we’ll credit you the full price towards a different set from Fountain Tire within the specified time frame. That’s our guarantee to you because that’s how confident we are.

The Road Ready protection plan is exclusively available to you, the original purchaser of the warranted services and not to anyone who may purchase your vehicle from you during the term of the warranty. This limited warranty is provided by the Fountain Tire location listed on the original repair work order, which performed the service/repairs on your vehicle. The full purchase price for the tires, labor or parts must have been paid to Fountain Tire. All claims must be submitted within 30 days of discovering the alleged defect.

In the event you need service under Fountain Tire’s warranty, please return to your original servicing Fountain Tire location if possible.

For peace of mind when traveling, if you are more than 40 kilometers away from the original store of purchase, this warranty will be honored at any Fountain Tire.

To ensure optimal tire performance and the longevity of the Road Ready Protection Plan, please:

If you are more than 40 kilometers away from the original servicing fountain tire location, you can be serviced by another fountain tire or any member of Goodyear’s tire & service network by first calling our customer care hotline at 1-800-426-0733.

• Maintain proper wheel alignment to prevent uneven tire wear.
• Check tire pressure regularly, and keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure as specified in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the tire sidewall.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in premature tire wear and potentially void your warranty coverage.

This warranty does not cover the following:

1. Non-Original Purchaser: Tires that were not purchased directly from Fountain Tire.

2. Improper Use: Damage resulting from improper use, including but not limited to:

   • Overloading or under-inflation.
   • Use in racing or off-road conditions.
   • Installation on vehicles for which the tires were not designed.

3. Accidents and Natural Disasters: Damage resulting from accidents, fire, vandalism, theft, or natural disasters.

This warranty is exclusively for the original purchaser of the warranted services and the vehicle serviced. It is not transferable. Any consequential, incidental, or indirect damages, including loss of profit, are excluded from this warranty. This warranty replaces any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or any other statutory warranties. If provincial law prohibits the exclusion of such implied warranties, they will be limited to the duration of this warranty and will exclude consequential, incidental, or indirect damages, as well as any loss of profit. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary from province to province.

Some provinces do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, nor do they allow limitations on the duration of implied warranties. Therefore, the above limitations may not apply. However, the inapplicability of these limitations or exclusions does not invalidate any other terms of this warranty.

The original purchaser of these warranted products or services is entitled to warranty services during the warranty period. The warranty period will be extended by the number of whole days the vehicle is out of the original purchaser’s possession for warranty repairs. If a covered condition arises within the warranty period, the warranty will remain in effect until the condition is resolved. Additionally, the warranty period will be extended if warranty repairs are delayed due to circumstances beyond the control of the original purchaser, or if the repairs do not remedy the condition and the purchaser notifies the Fountain Tire location that performed the warranted service within 60 days of the repair completion. If, after a reasonable number of attempts, the condition has not been fixed, the original purchaser may return the vehicle for a replacement of parts, if applicable, or a refund, in either case, subject to deduction of a reasonable charge for usage. This time extension does not affect the protections or remedies the original purchaser has under any applicable law.
