Titan extends warranty on construction and select OTR tires up to six years

Des Moines, IA — Titan International, Inc. (Titan) has enhanced its warranty policy on construction and select small OTR tires in both the Titan Tire and Goodyear® Farm Tire brands.

“We’re incredibly confident in the quality of these tires,” said Mark Rankin, senior vice president for product and business development at Titan. “That’s why we are comfortable implementing a more robust warranty policy with coverage that gives customers added peace of mind and helps Titan stand out from the competition by offering one to three additional years of coverage versus competing brands.” 

Warranty coverage now includes Titan small OTR bias and radial tires. The warranty has been extended from four years to six years, and now comes with one year of free replacement for tires with less than 10 percent wear (mounting and service charges apply). This includes 24-inch and 25-inch E-2/G-2/L-2, E-3/L-3 and E-7 tires for motor graders and wheel loaders. Small OTR lines include select small MXL, TGD2, Super Rigger, Lift Rigger, Motor Grader HD, Super Grader, Loader Grader III, Loader Dozer II and Super Sand Flotation tire lines. 

Titan and Goodyear bias construction tires include a six-year workmanship and materials warranty, plus free one-year replacement for tires with less than 10 percent wear (mounting and service charges apply). This includes skid steer, backhoe, trencher, aerial lift and compactor tire lines. Many competing brands only offer five-year coverage for comparable tires. 

Goodyear Radial R-4 backhoe tires include an eight-year workmanship and materials warranty, plus free one-year replacement for tires with less than 25 percent wear (mounting and service charges apply). This is compared to many competing brands offering only five-year coverage.

Certain exclusions apply to the aforementioned warranty coverages. 

Titan also recently overhauled its warranty on radial ag tires, as well. Over the last decade, Titan has made a number of adjustments to production and design that have resulted in measurable quality improvements. Evidence of that is a 65 percent decrease in total cost of ag warranty claims since 2014.
