Certificate For Free Replacement
Why pay for a problem tire when you can get it replaced for free?
Over twenty-eight years ago Discount Tire/America's Tire Co. responded to a very clear customer demand; offer a customer-friendly tire guarantee. At that time, our standard warranty was much the same as everybody's-just like today-based on prorating according to wear. So, we decided to innovate. How about offering coverage, which may be purchased at a reasonable price, that would replace the tire free of charge, regardless of wear?

This warranty, called the Certificate for Free Replacement, would cover the tire problems that really frustrate people-road hazards and defects-from the moment they bought the tires to the final mile of legal tread. Ever hit something in the road that ruins your tire? Or how about a tire that becomes defective? Who cares about why this happened? You just want a new tire put on with no hassles. Right? Right! So we tried it.

Well, here we are tens of thousands of free tires later, and our Certificate for Free Replacement program is still doing its job. It serves hundreds of thousands of satisfied Discount Tire/America's Tire Co. customers who have repeatedly thanked us for this part of our service by asking to renew each time they buy tires.

How does it work?
If a tire covered by the Certificate for Free Replacement fails due to a defect or an unrepairable road hazard, and still has legal tread (3/32") remaining across the tire, and is less than 3 years from date of purchase, Discount Tire/America's Tire Co. will replace it absolutely FREE. There is no prorating, no disqualification for any reason such as run-on damage and no mileage adjustment. It is the very best tire warranty we know of.

How to purchase the certificate
At the point of sale, we will ask if you want to purchase the Certificate for Free Replacement warranty for your tires. If you decline at that time, you still have 30 days from the date of purchase to buy the certificate. Remember, the sooner you buy, the sooner you are covered by the best warranty in the business.

How to redeem the certificate
  1. The easiest way is to return to the store where you bought the tire, validate the Certificate and have your tire replaced.
  2. Alternatively, you may go to any of our other retail outlets and they will quickly validate the Certificate and have your tire replaced.
  3. If you have relocated to an area where there is no Discount Tire/America's Tire Co. outlet, contact Consumer Affairs at 888.774.6560 and a representative will facilitate your tire replacement.
  4. If you are traveling, call 888.774.6560 and you will either be directed to the nearest Discount/America's Tire Co. location or given an alternate solution for your tire replacement or refund.
