Booo Hankook Canada
 

I recently bought a set of Hankook V12's for my 8. They were great bang for buck and the Hankook site boasted an "industry leading road hazard and replacement warranty". A few days after getting the tires mounted I got a nail in the shoulder of one of my tires. A tire shop in town deemed it unrepairable so I figured I'd try to get it covered under the Hankook Road Hazard warranty. When I called my local Hankook dealer they had no idea what I was talking about and said I was SOL. When I called Hankook Canada I got some guy's machine. One week later I get a call back saying that Hankook Canada does not offer that warranty, only Hankook USA. Time to replace a 10 day old tire. FML

If you read on their site, you will see warranty is not implied to a puncture, cut, etc stuff like that. It's only related to manufacturer defects if that is the cause of the problem. I don't believe any tire manufacturer covers such a puncture or cut, you'd have to look into a separate program like AAA or something similar to get coverage I believe.

Exactly! shit happens, CAA

If you crashed a new car after pulling out of the dealership would you expect the manufacturer to cover it under warranty? :)

Karma is a bitch sometimes ;)

Who did you piss off this week :)

As of January 1 2006 no tire company in Canada offers a road hazard warranty.
