Tire Warranty
Not only can tire issues be scary, they can also cost you a small fortune. Unfortunately, sometimes no matter how great the tire construction, tire damage is inevitable because of factors out of our hands, such as road conditions. This is why we have a comprehensive warranty to keep your fears at bay.
Your Forceum tires come with a warranty coverage with the following benefits:
- Workmanship & Materials Warranty
- Mileage Warranty
If you end up experiencing any issues with your Forceum tires, be sure to go back to the tire shop where you originally purchased your Forceum tires from to file a claim. Check out our Tires 101 section for some tips and tricks on taking better care for your tires.
See the nitty, gritty details of our warranty below:
This limited warranty covers all new Forceum brand replacement radial tires purchased after May 1st, 2016, supplied either directly or through an authorized Forceum dealer, which are mounted on passenger cars, vans and light trucks and have been used on the same vehicle that they were originally installed on.
This warranty applies to consumers actually purchasing and using the tires in all of North America, limited to the 48 contiguous states, the District of Columbia, the non-contiguous states of Hawaii and Alaska, and Canada.
Forceum warrants all eligible tires with a complete D.O.T identification number against defects in workmanship and materials. Upon examination, if Forceum determines that the tire(s) is not serviceable due to a condition covered by this warranty, it will be replaced by a comparable new Forceum tire as follows:
During the first 2/32” of the original usable tread, or within (12) twelve months from the date of purchase (proof of purchase required) whichever comes first, Forceum will replace the tire with a comparable new Forceum tire 100% free of charge. Applicable fees and taxes and costs of mounting and balancing are payable by the owner.
After the 100% replacement term expires and the tire is still within (60) sixty months of the date of purchase (proof purchase required), credit will be pro-rated towards the purchase of a comparable Forceum tire. The credit will be determined by the percentage of original tread depth remaining on the tire. Applicable fees and taxes and costs of mounting and balancing are payable by the owner.
The authorized Forceum dealer will determine the adjustment cost by multiplying the percentage of original usable tread worn by the current Forceum price in effect at the time of adjustment.
Refer to the example below to obtain the credit percentage:
R.T.D = Remaining Tread Depth
O.T.D = Original Tread Depth
If R.T.D = 5/32” = 5 and O.T.D = 10/32” = 10
The calculation is:
Remaining Usable Tread Depth/Original Usable Tread Depth = 3/8 = 0.375 = 38%

In addition to the above workmanship and materials warranty, Forceum also warrants that the tread life of all replacement passenger tires or light truck tires, supplied either directly or through an authorized Forceum dealer, will have the following tread wear warranty coverage from the point of original purchase (proof of purchase required):
Category | Pattern | Mileage Covered |
Passenger | ECOSA | 45,000 miles |
SUV | PENTA | 35,000 miles |
4 x 4 | ATZ | 35,000 miles |
4 x 4 | HEPTAGON HT | 35,000 miles |
If a tire reaches the end of its usable tread life (2/32”) before the stated mileage warranty, it will be replaced by a comparable Forceum tire on a pro-rated basis. The authorized Forceum dealer will determine the adjustment cost by multiplying the percentage of mileage obtained by the current Forceum price in effect at the time of adjustment.
To make a claim, the owner must present the original Forceum Mileage Warranty Card, which records the date of purchase, name of purchaser, original mileage, and identification of the vehicle to an authorized Forceum dealer.
ELIGIBILITY FOR MILEAGE TREAD WEAR WARRANTY:
- The tires must be rotated every 5,000 – 6,000 miles
- The owner must be the original purchaser of the tires and have the original copy of the invoice showing the application mileage
- The original purchaser must be the owner of the vehicle on which the tires were originally installed
- The tires are worn out evenly across the tread, down to the tread wear indicator (2/32”) at which time they are considered to be 100% worn out. The tire must not have more than 2/32” tread depth difference
- The Tire Rotation Card must be completed by the servicing dealer
- For vehicles equipped with staggered size fitments (different tire sizes on the front and rear axles) which cannot be rotated, the mileage warranty for the front or rear tires will be 50% of the warranted miles specified under the standard Forceum tread wear warranty
