Tire Coverage

The tyres supplied with your vehicle are covered by General Motors against defects in material or workmanship under the bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage. Wear-out is not considered a defect, and it may occur before the vehicle warranty expires. In this case, the owner is responsible for purchasing replacement tyres or seeking coverage solely from the tyre manufacturer. For vehicles within the bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage, defective tyres will be replaced on a prorated adjustment basis according to the following mileage-based schedule

2022 GMC Tire Pro-Rate Chart

This schedule applies to the price of the tyres only. GMC will cover 100% of the cost to mount and balance the tyres replaced under warranty for the full bumper-to-bumper warranty period. After your New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires, you may still have prorated warranty coverage on your original equipment tyres by the tyre manufacturer. Contact your GMC dealer or the tyre manufacturer of the brand of tyres on your vehicle for more information. The following is a list of current tyre manufacturer’s websites and toll-free customer assistance
numbers.

The tyre manufacturer’s limited warranty program, which can be obtained by calling or visiting the tyre manufacturer’s website or any authorized dealer, is instead of all other remedies or warranties, expressed or implied, arising by law or otherwise, including fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability. The tyre manufacturers expressly disclaim liability for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, lost profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of reputation, punitive or any other damage, cost, or loss of any kind.**Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusion may not apply to you.
