Thank you for your
consideration in choosing the Air Free Open Road tire. Below
is our warranty information. Our customer satisfaction
guarantee can be found here.
All Air Free Open Road tires will be warranted to be free from
defects and the quality of the tire must make you happy. The
Open Road Series tires will also be warranted to give you
3,000 miles of trouble free riding.
Please notice that this
warranty covers only the number of miles ridden on the tires
and not any time limit. Depending on your weight and riding
style and the types of terrain you cover, the Open Road should
give you thousands of miles of reliable and consistent riding.
As with any tire that is ridden certain wear characteristics
will exhibit themselves. The wear rate should not exceed 5% of
the original height of the tire per 1,000 miles. This means
that the Air Free Open Road which is 19mm tall off of the rim
would not have a flat spot down the middle in excess of 3mm of
the original height of the tire.
The rear tire will take
the most abuse and be the one prone to wearing at the fastest
rate. You can extend the life of your tires by rotating them
every 1,500 miles.
If at any time you feel
your tires to be wearing down at a rate inconsistent with what
is listed above you may contact us to request a replacement.
Please understand that all Air Free tires will exhibit wear
and an eventual flattening of the tire is inevitable. This
will actually enhance your riding experience by enlarging the
area of the tire contacting the road and help to distribute
the load across the tire. Theoretically you could ride the
tires down to rim as the urethane we use is homogenous and is
consistent throughout the tire.
Many people ride the
tires for thousands of miles without any noticeable or
appreciable wear and other people will report accelerated wear
rates and when we inspect the tires and question the customer
we find that the heavier the rider is, the faster the wear
rate. We based our calculations on of 1mm of wear per 1,000
miles on a 230 lb rider. Higher psi tires will wear at a
slower rate.
If for some reason you
ordered tires that did not properly fit your rims you may get
zapped with a restocking fee of 15% of the purchase price. We
would rather replace worn tires for free than refund money for
a pair of tires that may have been ordered in haste or without
full knowledge that the tires ordered had a decent chance of
fitting the rims. Airless tires cannot be inflated until they
fit and there is no such thing as a standard rim. Please take
your time when choosing tires and utilize our sizing section.
If you use our sizing section and order tires that do not fit
then we have made a mistake and will take the tires back. Of
course we will have to take your word on this.
