THE BFGOODRICH

The "legal life of the tire" is six years from the date of purchase
or the life of the "usable tread," which is defined as the
original tread worn down to the level of the treadwear
indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining,
whichever comes first. The date of purchase is documented by
a new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of

accordance with the terms and conditions described under
"HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED."
