How can you have a defective Goodyear tire replaced for free?

Goodyear maintains a replacement warranty for new tires that permits owners to replace a tire that is taken out of service due to covered warranty events within the first year of purchase free of charge. Tires replaced under his policy must have less than 2/32 inches of tread wear.

Goodyear tires outside of the initial free replacement period due to time may still be eligible for replacement under Goodyear's prorated tire replacement policy for up to six years after the initial purchase. However, tires that have worn below the minimum tread amount required for replacement are not eligible for free or prorated replacement.
