When you’re buying new tires, understanding your tire warranty and road hazard protection options help you protect your investment and avoid unexpected expenses.

When you buy new tires at Pep Boys, you can get two kinds of protection:
Optional protection available with purchase for potholes, nails, and road debris - damage not covered by manufacturers -Free Repair - if safely repairable -Replacement or Pro-Rated Refund - if not repairable -Coverage to 2/32” - valid for the usable life of the tire -Non-Transferable - applies to original owner only
-Covers defects in materials or workmanship (varies by brand) -Valid until tread reaches 2/32” or the manufacturer’s mileage limit – whichever comes first -Coverage may be limited

Why it matters: Many tire failures are caused by road debris, not factory defects. Without a road hazard protection plan, a single pothole could cost you the full price of a brand-new tire.
1. Manufacturer warranty coverage varies by brand and is typically limited to defects in materials or workmanship.
2. If safely repairable.
If your tire can be safely fixed after hitting a nail, pothole, or debris, we’ll repair it for free.
If it can’t be repaired, you’ll receive a prorated credit or refund based on the tire’s remaining tread depth.
Road Hazard covers your tires until they reach 2/32” of remaining tread.
Coverage stays with the tire’s original owner and ends if the tire is put on a different vehicle.
