Our expert team in-store will perform your FREE scheduled tyre maintenance checks at the prescribed maintenance intervals.

  • FREE tyre rotations*
  • FREE tyre pressure check;
  • FREE tread depth check;
  • FREE battery check; and
  • FREE spare tyre check.

*Tyre rotations are vital to achieving even tread wear and optimum tyre life, and is necessary because of the uneven wear characteristics of the front and rear axles. Your Bridgestone tyre technician will also check your vehicle’s wheel alignment at each service interval, because incorrect wheel alignment can result in irregular wear on your tyres. Whilst the Wear Life Guarantee provides free tyre rotations, if your vehicle requires a wheel alignment or wheel balancing, there will be an additional charge.

MAKING A CLAIM

Should your tyres become worn out before having travelled 50,000 kilometres, take your vehicle to your nearest Bridgestone Select, Bridgestone Tyre Centre or Firestone outlet for an assessment.

Provided you have maintained and recorded the Tyre Maintenance Checks on the Wear Life Guarantee booklet, you will receive a credit discount towards the replacement tyres based on the actual wear life achieved.

The Tyres are deemed to have worn out when the Tyre tread is uniformly 1.6mm (which means that the tyre tread has worn down to the top of the built-in indicators in the tread grooves) as measured and assessed by an Authorised Bridgestone Dealer, whose decision is final.

To determine the replacement price, the percent of guaranteed wear life obtained is multiplied by the purchase price of the effected tyre(s).

For example, if your tyres achieved 90% of the guaranteed wear life, you will receive a credit towards your next set of Bridgestone tyres to the value of 10% of the purchase price of the replacement tyres.

Where: “Kilometres Travelled” means the number of kilometres the Tyres have actually travelled when presented to an Authorised Bridgestone Retailer for assessment as recorded in the Bridgestone Wear Life Guarantee card. “Price” means the Recommended Retail Price of the replacement tyres as quoted at the time of replacement.

The Tyre(s) will be retained by the Bridgestone store for analysis by a Bridgestone technician.

Wear Life Guarantee conditions and exclusions

The following conditions apply. 1. To be eligible, the initial set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus tyres must be purchased in sets of four (4) or more with a wheel alignment in one transaction. Subsequent replacement Serenity Plus tyres will be covered by the Wear Life Guarantee as long as the vehicle maintains fitment of all four Bridges tone Turanza Serenity Plus tyres and a wheel alignment is performed in the same transaction with the replacement tyres. 2. Tyres must be uniformly worn down to the tread wear indicators for a claim to be considered. The Tyres are deemed to have worn out when the tyre tread is uniformly 1.6mm (which means that the tyre tread has worn down to the top of the built-in indicators in the tread grooves) as measured and assessed by a Bridgestone Tyre Centre, Bridgestone Select or Firestone store, whose decision is final. 3. A Bridgestone tyre technician will also check your vehicle’s wheel alignment at each service interval, because incorrect wheel alignment can result in irregular wear on your tyres. Whilst the Wear Life Guarantee provides free tyre rotations, if your vehicle requires a wheel alignment or wheel balancing, there will be an additional charge. 4. The tyres must remain fitted to the original vehicle. 5. For a claim to be considered, the service schedule must be maintained as prescribed and recorded in the Bridgestone Wear Life Guarantee booklet. 6. Claims must be made within five (5) years of date of purchase. The tyre(s) will be retained by the Bridgestone store for analysis by a Bridgestone technician. 7. Where eligible, a pro-rata credit is granted on the purchase of replacement tyres and cannot be redeemed in cash or other services. To determine the replacement price, the percent of guaranteed wear life obtained is multiplied by the Recommended Retail Price of the affected tyres(s) at the time of replacement. For example, if your tyres achieved 90% of the guaranteed wear life, you will receive a credit towards your next set of Bridgestone tyres to the value of 10% of the RRP of the replacement tyres. The pro-rata credit will be determined by this formula: Credit = (50,000 – Kilometres travelled) / 50,000 x RRP. 8.
