OWNER’S OBLIGATION
Proper tyre care is required to obtain maximum hours of usage and wear.
Owner must operate tyres within Titan and manufacturer specified load, speed limits, and air pressure requirements (at cold-air pressures specified by Titan for load and speed according to individual tyre size, type and load capacity) and maintain proper alignment of wheels.
In the event of a warranty claim the owner of the tyre must complete a Titan Warranty Claim Worksheet. This document may be obtained via request by email to warranty@titaneurope.com or by telephone on +44 (0)845 2001972. The Titan Warranty Claim Worksheet must be completed in full including the tyre serial number and remaining tread depth. The document must be returned to a Titan International manufacturing site with photographic evidence of the claim and a copy of the proof of purchase including purchase date.
Titan reserves the right to require that, as a condition of warranty the unserviceable tyre is presented at a participating Goodyear Farm Tires dealer or a Titan International manufacturing site. Adjustment tyres claimed unserviceable become the property of Titan and are subject to a disposal fee. Mounting, de-mounting, service charges, and taxes will be added to the purchase price under this prorated replacement program.
No claim will be recognized unless submitted with Titan, manufacturer of Goodyear Farm Tires and where the tyre has been supplied by an authorized tyre dealer.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the benefits of the Workmanship and Materials Adjustment Policy if you meet all of the following criteria:
- Claim is properly processed with Titan, manufacturer of Goodyear Farm Tires, and claimed using a Titan Warranty Claim Worksheet, as outlined in Owners Obligations above.

WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
Free Tyre Replacement
Goodyear brand radial farm tyres that become unserviceable due to a covered warranty condition under manufacturer’s control, during the first 2 years of service, if worn less than 25%, will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear brand agricultural tyre without charge including normal mounting and service charges.
Goodyear brand bias farm tyres that become unserviceable due to a covered warranty condition under manufacturer’s control, during the first twelve months of service, if worn less than 10%, will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear brand tire without charge including normal mounting and service charges.
Proof of purchase must be attached to claim form. If proof of purchase is not available to establish time in service, the tyre date of manufacture will be used.
Pro-Rated Tyre Replacement
Goodyear brand agricultural tyres past the “No Charge Free Replacement” time frame, which meet the criteria under “Who Is Eligible” that become unserviceable due to workmanship and materials,
will be replaced with a comparable new tyre on a pro-rated basis.
If proof of purchase is not available to establish time in service, tyre date of manufacture will be used. The customer charge will be calculated by multiplying the customer’s normal buying price, current at time of adjustment, by the percentage determined from either the Bias or Radial “Agricultural Tyre Workmanship and Materials Warranty Policy” chart shown on the next page.
