WHAT IS COVERED: This Program covers only the tires (i) purchased by you, the Customer, from RVTires.com (“Original Retailer”); (ii) which are installed on your recreational vehicle, travel trailer, or passenger vehicle; and (ii) that are listed clearly on the Original Purchase Invoice, identified by the brand, type, size, listed part/SKU number, and a unique road hazard registration number for each tire (“Eligible Tires”).

WHAT IS ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE?

Nails, glass and potholes are the most common examples of road hazards.
