We bought a set for wifes car a few years ago. Within a couple of weeks she
hit a huge pothole and blew out two of them. Upon contacting tirerack, they
said that there is a 6 mo road hazard warranty and within a couple of days
two new tires showed up on our doorstep.
Can't ask for much better than that!
