CST warrants to an original purchaser of every new CST brand bicycle tire used exclusively in North America that the tire will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the shorter of six months from date of purchase or until there is no serviceable original tread depth (as determined at the reasonable discretion of CST) remaining on the tire (“Limited Warranty”).
Remedy
CST will replace a defective tire with a comparable new CST brand tire. Only those products of current production models shall be eligible for return.
Tire Exclusions
The limited warranty does not apply to damage or defects relating to: (1) road hazards (such as cuts, snags, punctures, or bruises), impact breaks, tire plugs and/or repair, vandalism, accidents, or abusive or unusual operating conditions, fire and/or chemical corrosion; (2) improper operation or maintenance such as, but not limited to, under or over-inflation, load, speed and inflation practices resulting in excessive operational conditions; (3) improper sizing, wheel alignment, tire mounting or rim fit; or (4) bicycle mechanical problems (such as faulty, worn, or malfunctioning brakes). CST does not condone the use of liquid sealants with any CST tires. Use of liquid sealants with any CST tire will void the warranty.
Tube Exclusion
All CST bicycle inner tubes are inspected and tested after production to be free and clear of any manufacturing defect. Due to the high frequency of user errors during the tube mounting process, all CST bicycle inner tubes are not warrantable.
Warranty Disclaimer
Except as stated above and unless otherwise provided by law, there is no warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose or any other warranty, express or implied.
Limitation of Remedy
Replacement of the tire is the sole and exclusive remedy in the event of breach of any warranty or of any agreement relating to the tire.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall CST be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages or liabilities (including but not limited to incidental or consequential damages for loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of bicycle, or any other consequential or incidental loss) in connection with the purchase, use, or operation of the tire, whether due to a breach of the warranty, breach of the contract, or otherwise.
CST Motorcycle/ATV Tire Warranty Information
CST produces high-quality motorcycle/ATV tires and tubes, and warrants to the original purchaser that the tire will be free from defects in material and workmanship.
Limited Warranty on Materials and Workmanship During the First 50% of Treadwear
Limited warranty coverage is for four years from the manufacture date. Should a CST motorcycle/ATV tire be determined unserviceable by an authorized dealer/distributor due to a condition other than one listed in the “What Is Not Covered” section of this warranty, the tire will be replaced with the same or comparable new CST tire at no charge (other than labor and taxes) during the first 50% of treadwear. Ride, balance, out-of-round tires and vibration complaints after the first 2/32nds of treadwear will not be covered.
After First 50% of Treadwear
Limited warranty coverage is for four years from the manufacture date. After the first 50% of treadwear, should a CST motorcycle/ATV tire be determined unserviceable by an authorized dealer/distributor due to a condition other than those listed in the “What Is Not Covered” section, you will receive a replacement prorated credit toward the purchase of a comparable new CST tire equal to the percentage of the usable tread remaining. The usable tread does not include the last 2/32nds of the tread depth.
What Is Not Covered (including but not limited to)
- Tires rendered unserviceable by road hazard-type damage such as impact breaks, punctures, cuts or snags; or as a result of an obstruction on the motorcycle/ATV, fire, corrosives, running while flat, misalignment, improperly maintained balance, suspension, deficiencies, improper inflation, overloading, improper mounting or rim fitment; or by spinning, as in mud, snow, sand, on ice or during on-the-motorcycle/ATV balancing or dynamometer testing.
- For tires worn beyond the serviceable original tread depth (as determined at the reasonable discretion of CST) there is no warranty regardless of the tire’s age or mileage.
- Tires on motorcycles/ATVs operated outside the U.S. and Canada.
- Tires used for racing or other competition events.
- Tires used in any application not recommended by the motorcycle/ATV manufacturer.
- Tires used on motorcycles fitted with trailers.
- Tires designated front or rear used in a position other than their designated position.
- Tires improperly repaired, with section repairs, or that have been modified by the addition or removal of material.
- Tires injected with dry/liquid balancers or sealants, or in which anything other than air has been used as the support medium.
