Warranty Scope and Coverage Criteria
Apollo Tyres provides standard and extended agricultural warranty coverage against manufacturing irregularities.
Key coverage terms:
- Manufacturing defect protection: Covers internal structural failures, casing ply separation, and defective bead construction.
- Pro-rata compensation: Financial credit on replacement tyres is calculated based on the remaining un-worn tread depth percentage.
- Duration and registration: Warranty is typically valid for specified years from the date of manufacture or retail purchase invoice.
- Proof of purchase: Retain the computerized tax invoice and stamped warranty registration card issued by the authorized dealer.
Exclusions and Conditions That Void Warranty
Tyre warranties cover manufacturing faults only, excluding damage resulting from improper operational usage.
Common warranty exclusions:
- Mechanical misalignment: Rapid or irregular lug wear caused by bent steering tie-rods or incorrect toe-in alignment.
- Under-inflation or over-inflation: Sidewall ply rupture or radial cracking stemming from operating at improper inflation pressures.
- Physical damage: Punctures, stubble cuts, rim pinches, stone bruises, or chemical corrosion from fertilizer contact.
- Unauthorized repairs: Tyres that have been retreaded, patched with non-standard plugs, or structurally modified.
Step-by-Step Claim Registration and Inspection
Farmers experiencing premature tyre failure should follow a structured claim pathway.
Claim workflow:
- Visit authorized dealership: Present the damaged tyre along with the original purchase invoice to an authorized Apollo commercial dealer.
- Digital claim logging: The dealer registers a digital claim through the manufacturer's warranty inspection portal.
- Technical inspection: A company service engineer inspects the tyre casing, measures remaining tread depth with a gauge, and determines defect validity.
- Credit settlement: Upon approval, the pro-rata credit is applied toward the purchase of a brand new replacement tyre.

Common questions
What does a tractor tyre warranty cover?
It covers structural manufacturing defects such as ply separation, defective beads, and casing faults, but excludes cuts from stones or stubble.
How is pro-rata warranty compensation calculated?
Compensation is calculated proportionally based on the remaining unworn tread depth of the tyre at the time of claim inspection.
Can improper tyre pressure void a manufacturer warranty?
Yes, operating tyres with severe under-inflation or over-inflation that causes internal casing fatigue can lead to warranty claim rejection.
