New England Tire Salvage

Guarantee Details
I guarantee my tires to hold air and be free of structural defects at the time of installation. All tires are pressure tested at 35 psi after a thorough visual inspection. Structural defects consist of ply separations and bubbles, or any condition that renders the tire unusable.  Defective tires will be replaced free of charge except for shipping charges. I reserve the right to replace a tire, no refunds unless I do not have the proper replacement. I do not warranty tires past installation.  Certain extreme performance tires are sold as is with no guarantee due to the type of use they receive.

Be careful who installs your tires, a lot of tire shops resent people coming in with tires they bought from somebody else. If the technician tells you your tires all have cuts through the sidewall, you have been victimized. This is intentional vandalism designed to induce the customer to buy new tires from them. If this happens to you, call the police.  Do not take my tires to Waslmart, Pep Boys, or Discount Tire for installation. Doing so immediately voids the warranty.

Tires must be installed within 5 days of delivery and notification of all claims made in that time frame.  Defective tires must be returned for evaluation. Unproven or late claims will not be honored.  No exceptions.

I do not sell outside the continental U.S. I will not guarantee  any tire removed from the U.S. 

Tread depth will be as advertised by my measurement in the center or main tread grooves.  Due to their construction technique, which is problematic, do not expect consistent  tread depth on Michelin tires. Despite their reputation, Michelin apparently hasn't learned how to build a tire with consistent tread depth throughout the tread grooves. A difference of as much as 2/32" can be found within the same tread groove, even on brand new Michelins. I measure fairly and do not exaggerate the numbers.

If you do measure the tires for your own enjoyment, use a calibrated  tire gauge and measure in the center grooves, or in the case of certain tires with water dispersion grooves like the Goodyear Eagle F1, measure  the main outer grooves. Don't measure the edges and expect to see the same depth as in the middle, they aren't built that way. Don't measure from a wear bar like Firestone does. NAPA store gauges are designed to compensate for the wear indicator, they read 2/32" low.

Return  policy. Tires may be returned if you made a mistake and bought the wrong tires, and wish to  exchange them for the proper tires. Customer pays all shipping charges associated with exchanges or warranty claims. Otherwise, all sales are final.
