Fulda Free Accidental Tyre Damage Warranty

In order to guarantee that motorists get the most out of Fulda tyres purchased from a HiQ Centre, we are delighted to offer an optional ‘Free Accidental Tyre Damage Warranty’ with every Fulda tyre purchased.*

Once the qualifying tyre purchase has been made and the box on your Warranty Leaflet has been stamped or filled in by your participating HiQ Centre, you will have peace of mind knowing that your Fulda tyres will be fully covered with the HiQ Fulda Free Accidental Tyre Damage Warranty.

If any of your Fulda tyres purchased through a HiQ Centre are damaged beyond repair, then the damaged tyre will be replaced and you will only be charged for the proportion of the tread that you have already used. (*See terms and conditions).

Contact your local HiQ Centre should you wish to make a claim.

Your HiQ Centre will validate your claim by checking your warranty and that the nature of your claim is valid. You will need to provide your original HiQ sales invoice and completed warranty leaflet provided to you from your HiQ centre visit. Your HiQ Centre will then be able to calculate your entitled percentage allowance, if the tyre complies with the terms and conditions.

Although tyres are road-legal to 1.6mm, HiQ always recommend replacement at 3.0mm in order to maintain optimum drive performance and safety, therefore the first 3.0mm of tread is not counted.

Your HiQ Centre will measure the remaining legal tread on your tyre. The tread will be measured in the middle and on the edges of the tyre to ensure an accurate and consistent reading. If any measurements on the tyre are below 3.0mm, no credit will be given.

The decision of the HiQ Centre is final. By looking at the corresponding discount table you can see how the amount of remaining legal tread is converted to a percentage claim allowance. This allowance is then redeemed as a percentage discount against the current selling price of your new replacement Goodyear tyre. The terms of this warranty require that the replacement tyre fitted is the same size as the original and is a Goodyear tyre. Your old warranty leaflet along with the damaged tyre will be retained by the HiQ centre and a new warranty leaflet will be issued to cover the new tyre.
