They may not cover knife cuts for you, but when I got mine, there were no conditions as to how the damage was acquired.:dunno:

My first tire certificates were from 2005.. and the only rule was "No intentional damage such as Vandalism/knife cuts"

Quote from America's tire company, Technically Using them offroad Can void the Certificate.. (it's in the fine print)
Conditions and Exclusions

Non-commercial service includes use by the owner in his/her regular trade or business but excludes commercial truck, racing, off-the-highway, taxi, limousine, or similar service. Passenger, SUV or light truck tire road hazard warranty (if applicable) does not apply to tires used on commercial trucks, recreational vehicles or off-the-highway service. Mileage warranty (if applicable) applies only to tire's original purchaser on the car, SUV or light truck on which originally installed. These warranties do not cover tire damage, destruction or failure from fire, vandalism, or accident, irregular or premature tread wear caused by improper inflation, misalignment, or imbalance of wheels, worn out shock absorbers or brakes, damage or failure due to other non-tire causes such as being run flat, mechanical condition of vehicle, cut from rim or chains, or any willful abuse. A tire is not adjustable for problems of appearance after the first 10% of wear. All Certificates expire three (3) years from the date of purchase or at such time that the tire has less than the legal tread depth (3/32") across the tread, whichever first occurs. Terms of manufacturers' warranties may differ.

As much as I agree with you about your damage being Dangerous, I also know that they have rules to follow by or the program can get too expensive and they will just cancel it.

Infact, they also have a Pro-rate system.. Nick had to pay like $70 for his replacement tire.. because the cost has changed so dramatically
 
Back when I was working in the tire Industry they would replace a tire. 1. If it was flat and unrepeatable 2. if you snagged it on something and the outer layer of cords were showing.

But you still need to find a spare. Especially with that odd size your using.

Have Larry go back for you and ask for a used tire that size. See if they threw it in the used rack or if they scraped it?

Then just have him buy it if he can.

Let me know bronze, I could do that for ya.
 
something has definitely changed then. there is no pro-rate for mine. totally free replacements. granted I didn't read all the fine print. I didn't intend on buying the warranty, but when paying for the tire the dude at the desk said there would be no pro rate for replacement(s) and, as close as I can remember his words were something like" I don't care if they get slashed in the middle of the night, I don't care if you run them at "0" psi and smash it into a curb, burn them, slice them up in the rocks, it don't matter" "just bring them back and ill give you a free tire" "no questions asked" he said.

The tire shop guy I was dealing with made the comment that he was going to sell it used, I was just tired of the situation, had josh with me in the lobby for 3hrs, and we were starved so I bailed on it. ill probably make the call here in the next couple days.
 
What did I do to my XJ today?

Started it.
Drove the kids to school.
Checked possible blown fuses. Everything looked good. Dang, gonna have to pull apart the dash again.
 
Sunday I replaced the drag link and inner tre which completed my steering overhaul. Also greased everything and aligned it. I've put 50 miles or so on it and she seems happy happy again.
 
Hard to find the Ethanol Free stuff around here.
 
OH! ...good to know.... now I just have to figure out a way to get the XJ down to one of those fueling docs. :wierd:
