I need to replace 2 Kumho 4X rear tires of my S2000, I had a set of 4 Kumho tires installed 2 years ago at local America's Tire store.
According to Tirerack.com, Kumho 4X has 40k miles tread life warranty but only 20k miles for stagger tires. I checked Kumho website and they state the same mileage warranty, only 1/2 for stagger tires.
I called 3 America's Tire stores to ask about tread life warranty, all of them said Kumho does not offer warranty stagger tires, only for same size tires and 5-6k miles rotations are needed to claim warranty.
I decided to order the replacement and will deal with mileage prorate when I have my car in to replace the rear tires. I had my car in for 2 rear tires Falken 612+ 245/45-17 for $67/ea plus tax and mounting.
Service advisor insisted Kumho does not have mileage warranty for stagger tires and nobody ever filled for it. I had my laptop with me and showed him Kumho website that clearly states that stagger tires have 1/2 mileage warranty and no need to rotate to fill for warranty.
All the service advisor could say after that was "Ohhhh ! I didn't know that"
The homework save me $86.xx for mileage prorate and the bottom line was only $92.xx for 2 245/45-17 tires installed.
