Zdegree FAQs

This limited warranty only applies to the original purchaser of new Armstrong brand replacement radial tyres from zDegree, which are mounted on passenger cars, vans, and light trucks and have been used on the same vehicle they were originally installed on.

This warranty applies to consumers purchasing and using the tyres in all of UAE.

What Is Covered By The Tuff 360 Warranty?

The Armstrong Tyre Warranty offers the following benefits:

  1. Workmanship And Materials Warranty
  2. Mileage Warranty
  3. Road Hazard Replacement Program

i. Workmanship & Materials Warranty

All Armstrong tyres are warranted against defects in workmanship and material and will be replaced 100% free of charge for the initial warranty period, which is up to 10% of the treadwear. Applicable fees, taxes, and costs of mounting and balancing are payable by the owner.

After the 100% replacement term expires and the tyre is still within six (6) years from the date of production, credit will be pro-rated towards the purchase of a comparable Armstrong tyre. The credit will be determined by the percentage of original tread depth remaining on the tyre and the current Armstrong price in effect at the time of adjustment. Applicable fees, taxes, and costs of mounting and balancing are payable by the owner.

Type of Warranty% WearCompensation

Limited Warranty | 0% to 10% | 100% Free of cost (FOC) replacement of tire
10.1% to TWI (Min RTD 1.6 mm) | Pro Rata adjustment (Ply should not be exposed)
TWI and above | No Compensation

ii. Mileage Warranty

Most patterns of Armstrong tires from zDegree are covered by a mileage warranty from the point of original purchase (proof of purchase required) even though the actual mileage you may get from your tyres may vary because of driving habits, road conditions & maintenance of your tyres. If a tyre reaches the end of its usable tread life (Min. RTD 1,6mm) before the stated mileage warranty, it will be replaced by a comparable Armstrong tyre on a pro-rated basis. The adjustment cost will be determined by multiplying the percentage of mileage obtained by the current Armstrong price in effect at the time of adjustment. Applicable fees, taxes, and costs of mounting and balancing are payable by the owner.

To Be Eligible For Armstrong’s Mileage Treadwear Warranty, The Following Conditions Apply:
  1. The tyres must be rotated every 8.000 to 10.000 kilometers.
  2. The owner must be the original purchaser of the tyres and have the original copy of the invoice showing the mileage (odometer reading) at installation.
  3. The original purchaser must be the owner of the vehicle on which the tyres were originally installed.
  4. The tyres are worn out evenly across the tread, down to the treadwear indicator (1,6mm) at which time they are considered to be 100% worn out.
  5. The Tyre Rotation Card (included) must be completed by the servicing dealer.
  6. For vehicles equipped with staggered size fitments (different tyre sizes on the front and rear axles) which cannot be rotated, the mileage warranty for the front or rear tyres will be 50% of the warranted kilometers specified under the standard Armstrong treadwear warranty.
  7. Tyre pressure has to be on level as suggest by the servicing dealer to ensure the long last of the tyre.

Tyre Registration

It is important that you register your Armstrong tyres promptly upon purchase. Registration is an important safety procedure since it enables the manufacturer to notify you in the event of a product recall. To complete registration, you will need to provide:

  1. Your contact information.
  2. The tyre DOT codes located on your tyres.
  3. Your retailer’s contact information.

Safety Warning

Armstrong Tyre makes your safety our top priority. It is essential for you to ensure proper use and maintenance of your tyres to avoid any serious injury. Here are some safety tips we recommend to mitigate your risk of tyre failure:

  • Owners must continue to rotate tyres in accordance to their vehicle owner’s manual or every 8,000 – 10,000 kilometers.
  • Tyres should be regularly inspected by a qualified tyre professional for any signs of damage.
  • Tyres should be mounted only by trained professionals. Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual or tyre placard in vehicle to avoid under-inflation, overloading and misapplication.
  • Use approved rims and wheels only.
  • Do not spin tyres on any type of road surface.
  • We recommend replacing any tyres that are beyond six (6) years from their date of manufacture. If your vehicle manufacturer has specific recommendations for tyre replacement, you should follow the specific recommendations for that vehicle.
  • Always avoid purchasing used tyres. Previous usage may have damaged internal components that may lead to tyre failure.
  • We recommend replacing all four tyres at the same time. However, when only two are replaced, the new tyres should be installed on the rear since deeper tread may provide better grip and water evacuation in wet conditions.
  • We recommend routine air pressure checks as per your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Any tyre, no matter how well constructed, may fail in use as a result of damage or misuse. If you experience any vibrations or ride disturbances, or notice a bulge, bump, or any kind of irregularities, we recommend having your tyres evaluated by a qualified tyre servicer immediately.
