SPECIAL CASING WARRANTY
ADDITION TO YOKOHAMA STANDAR LIMITED TRUCK TIRE WARRANTY
ELIGIBILITY
This warranty applies to all Yokohama radial truck/bus tires, size 8.25 or larger, which have been used only in highway operations, have been manufactured after July 1, 2007, and which meet the following criteria:
- Tires must be or have been retreaded by a Yokohama approved Retreading Process. Please reference the approved retread list at www.yokohamatire.com
- Tires must be or have been inspected by a Yokohama approved non-destructive tire casing process prior to any retreading, and be so identified.
WHAT IS WARRANTED AND FOR HOW LONG?
Prior to the retreading process, Yokohama radial truck/bus tires are covered by all provisions of the Yokohama Standard Limited Warranty for Truck and Bus Tires. After the retread has been applied on the qualified tire, an additional special casing warranty applies. If a qualified tire becomes unserviceable due to a warrantable condition, the customer will be given a casing credit, as indicated in the chart below. The retread life is defined as beginning with the installation of the new retread stock and ending after buffing for subsequent retread.

All implied warranties, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly limited to the duration of this written warranty. Yokohama Tire Corporation reserves the right to change warranty provisions at any time without obligation.
All obligations or liabilities for loss of time, inconvenience, vehicle use, or any other incidental or consequential damages are hereby excluded.

The customer is advised to determine those rights for their local area and exercise them as required or deemed appropriate.
CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS
