Product Overview
These trailer tires are DOT approved for high speed use on US Highways.
Commonly referred to as a bullet-proof brand of trailer tires, GlobalTrax tires feature the newest technologies combined with already advanced manufacturing processes led to the development of a trailer tire that will stand up to the toughest conditions. Sipes in the trailer tire’s tread are designed to disperse water, and plant a solid footprint on the road.
The tire’s casing and moisture-resistant rubber compound underwent rigorous testing efforts to fine tune the tires reliability and performance in the real world. Globaltrax tires are now available in Bias and Radial trailer tires, and bias ply lawn and garden tires.
Experience optimum tire performance, safety and better fuel economy with GlobalTrax Trailer Tires.
Warranty Information
You are eligible for the benefits of this warranty (the "Limited Warranty) only if you are the original owner and consumer of new GLOBAL TRAX trailer tires. Such tires bear the original Department of Transportation (DOT) - prescribed tire identification numbers, and such tires are on the trailer upon which they were originally installed according to the trailer manufacturer's recommendations.
WHAT IS WARRANTED AND FOR HOW LONG?
Subject to the limitations contained in this Limited Warranty, your new GLOBAL TRAX tires are warranted under this Limited Warranty against failures due to defective materials and workmanship for a period of Three (3) years of from the date of tire manufacture or two (2) years from date of purchase, whichever occurs first. Tire manufacture date is determined by the Department of Transportation (DOT) - pre¬scribed tire identification numbers.
A. Eligibility: A tire is eligible for warranty coverage under this Limited Warranty only if the tire is presented by the original owner and consumer within Three (3) years of the tire manufacture date or two (2) years from date of purchase, whichever occurs first, the tire has a minimum of 2132nd inch of tire tread depth remaining, and all procedures in this Limited Warranty are followed.
B. Free Replacement: Subject to the limitations contained in this Limited Warranty, if a GLOBAL TRAX tire fails due to defective materials or workmanship during the first 70% of tread wear, the tire will be replaced with a new comparable GLOBAL TRAX tire without charge
C. Tread wear Prorated Discount: A defective tire that does not qualify for free replacement under (B) above, but that is otherwise eligible for warranty coverage under this Limited Warranty, will entitle you to a discount on the purchase of a new comparable GLOBAL TRAX tire. The amount of the discount will be calculated based upon the percentage of tread that remains on the defective tire. For example, if 60% of the original tread remains on the defective tire, you will be entitled to a 60% discount off of the retail price of a new comparable GLOBAL TRAX tire. You are responsible for all labor costs for mounting and balancing and for all applicable taxes.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY?
This Limited Warranty does not apply to:
1. Damage, failure, or irregular or premature tread wear caused by, resulting from, arising out of fire, accident, chemical corrosion, malicious mischief, vandalism, or road hazards. Example of road hazards include, without limitation, nails, glass, rocks, curbs, and other foreign objects and natural and man-made obstructions or obstacles such as excavations, construction, potholes, and chuckholes. Damages caused by road hazards can include, without limitation, cuts, snags, punctures, scuffs, carcass bruises, and impact breaks.
2. Damage, failure, or irregular or premature tread wear caused by, resulting from, or arising out of improper operation or maintenance such as, without limitation, misappli¬cation, neglect, misuse, running flat, overloading, under-or-over inflation, excessive speed, improper installation, improper wheel alignment, improper mounting or dis¬mounting, use of puncture sealants, tire plugs, or fillers, noncompliance with safety, usage, or maintenance instructions or parameters, or any alteration to the tire such as, without limitation, grooving bead or sidewall decorative material or the addition of a white inlay (whitewall) to any tire.

6. Damage resulting from vehicle mechanical problems
7. Weather cracking beyond 7 - 8 months of tire manufacture date
DEFINITION OF COMPARABLE TIRE
A "comparable" new GLOBALTRAX tire may either be the same line of tire or, if the defective tire is out of production or unavailable, a tire of the same basic or equal construction and quality with different sidewall or tread wear configuration. If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, you will be responsible for the difference in price.
COMPUTING TREAD WEAR
Tread wear is computed as a percentage of the original usable tread. The original usable tread does not include the last 2-32nds of an inch of tread depth. Badger Components shall make all determinations regarding tread wear and eligibility for warranty coverage under this Limited Warranty in its sole discretion.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to improper maintenance or service factors, creating a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury. For your safety, comply with the following:
1.) Check air pressure monthly when tires are "cold". Use an accurate tire air pres¬sure gauge. Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot. Proper inflation is essential. Underinflation produces flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that pre¬mature tire failure may occur. Overinflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
2.) Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and maximum inflation pressure are molded into the sidewall of your tire. Overloading builds up excessive heat and can lead to early tire failure.
3.) Avoid damaging objects (potholes, glass, rocks, curbs, etc.) which may cause internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has suffered internal damage, which may not be visible externally, can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination of internal damage will require dismounting of the tire and examination by trained tire personnel.
4.) Property damage and serious or fatal injury can also result from the following causes:
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause the tire beads to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on the rim. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by manufacturer's design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended pressure to seat the beads. ONLY SPECIALLY TRAINED PERSONS SHOULD MOUNT TIRES.
Use of worn out tires (less than 2-32nd" remaining tread depth) increases the probability of tire failure.
Excessive speed creates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire failure.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN NO EVENT SHALL Badger Components OR ITS AUTHORIZED DEALERS OR DISTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF USE OF TRAILER, TOWING, ROAD SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL LOSS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE, USE, OR OPERATION OF THE TIRE, WHETHER DUE TO A BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF Badger Components HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. NOTE: SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
