Premier Tire Warranty Program

DUNN TIRE PREMIER TIRE PROGRAM INFORMATION

This road hazard program is made by the independent facility from which you purchased the tires. This limited road hazard program applies to the tires, original purchaser and the original vehicle identified on the receipt. This limited road hazard program only applies to passenger and light truck tires, which, during its tread life or within the covered period of time, becomes unserviceable because of a road hazard. The road hazard program is optional and the purchase must appear on your receipt. A road hazard occurs when a tire fails due to a puncture, bruise, or break incurred during the course of normal driving on a maintained road. Nails, glass, and potholes would be the most common examples.

WHAT YOU MUST DO TO OBTAIN SERVICE

If you are less than 10 miles away from the original selling Facility, you must return your vehicle to that Facility for any tire repair or replacement under the program.

If you are more than 10 miles from the original Facility, then you must call the program Administrator prior to any work being performed, at 855-429-2788, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (Eastern Time), Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., excluding holidays. The Administrator will provide to you the nearest participating Facility. If there are no participating locations in your area, you may take your vehicle to a non-participating Facility in your area. If the non-participating Facility will not accept payment from the program Administrator, you must pay for the service and submit your original repair invoice (or legible copy) and subsequent repair invoice (or legible copy) to the Administrator for review, within 60 days of the date of the tire repair or replacement.

YOU MUST PRESENT THE ORIGINAL INVOICE SHOWING THE PURCHASE OF THE TIRE(S) AND THE ROAD HAZARD PROGRAM.

Prior to authorization must be obtained to replace or repair a tire damaged by a road hazard.

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 administrator within 60 days of the date of failure and/or service.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THE LIMITED ROAD HAZARD PROGRAM

The road hazard program 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. You will receive a credit for the replacement tire up to 100% of the price paid for the original 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 road hazard warranty on the replacement tire, you must purchase a new road hazard warranty 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 repair will be provided to you free of charge if performed by the original facility that sold you this program. If the repair is performed by another facility, the program will cover up to $20.00 to have the tire repaired. The road hazard program will remain in effect after a tire is repaired.

You can receive an inspection extension if you buy or get a vehicle from an out-of-state source. After you register the vehicle in NYS, you are allowed ten days to complete the vehicle inspection. Any inspection issued to the previous registrant is not valid after you register the vehicle.

If you become a resident of NYS and register your vehicle in NYS, your out-of-state inspection remains valid. The out-of-state certificate or inspection sticker issued in your name is valid until it expires, or for one year after the vehicle is registered in NYS, whichever comes first. When your out-of-state inspection expires, you must get the vehicle inspected in NYS.

What are the Emissions Inspection requirements?

(Excerpt taken directly from NY State DMV Website)

The 1990 Federal Clean Air Act requires New York State to conduct an inspection program to help reduce harmful emissions from most passenger cars and light-duty trucks. The emissions inspection is done at the same time as the annual safety inspection. Vehicles that fail the emissions inspection may not be able to become registered or, if already registered, the registration may not be renewed.

On-Board Diagnostics Generation II (OBDII) Inspection. Most 1996 or newer gasoline-powered vehicles and most 1997 or newer diesel-powered vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) less than 8,501 pounds are subject to the OBDII emissions inspection. This test examines the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), also known as the "check engine" light, for operation/illumination, and verifies the test results of the vehicle's "on-board emissions diagnostic" system.

Low Enhanced Inspection. A "Low Enhanced" emissions inspection is required for most other vehicles, unless they are subject to the OBDII test or are exempt from all emissions inspections. This inspection is required for all vehicles from and including model year 1995 and older, through and including vehicles that are up to 25 model years old, and that weigh 18,000 lbs. or less.

Each emissions inspection for gasoline-powered vehicles confirms the presence and connection of the vehicle's required emissions control devices. This includes making sure that the vehicle's gas cap is present, is in good condition, and fits properly.

The following emissions control devices are examined if the vehicle was originally manufactured with them:

Catalytic converter (CAT)
Exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR)
Positive crankcase ventilation system (PCV)
Air injection system (AIS)
Evaporative emissions control (EVAP)
Fuel inlet restrictor (FIR)
Thermostatic air cleaner (TAC)

You can help your vehicle pass an OBDII emissions inspection by keeping it properly maintained. If the vehicle's Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL, or "check engine" light) indicates there may be a malfunction or other problem, have the vehicle properly repaired. A well maintained, properly functioning vehicle uses less fuel and creates less exhaust emissions.
