What is the tyre guarantee on national Tyres?
All new tyres carry an unlimited mileage guarantee against manufacturing defects throughout the legal life of the tyre. Tyres may have to be returned to the manufacturer for inspection if a claim is made. If a defect is found, payment will be made according to the tyre depth remaining on the tyre. The 3% rule states that when replacing tires, the new tire’s diameter should not differ from the original by more than 3%. This guideline helps maintain proper vehicle performance, safety system functionality, and speedometer accuracy.However, we recommend changing your tyres when they have 3mm of tyre tread left on them. This is because at the legal limit, your braking distance increases your tyre’s ability to grip the road is significantly poorer.
