The current rear driving tires must be replaced when they reach 3000km or 1.875 mls or 1.5 years (relevant DOT imprint) of usage. Should they reach the above mentioned criteria (mileage or usage period) again, you must replace the current rear driving tires free of charge again, and continuously so, until new and improved tires become available, which will match the tire change criteria as described on the vehicle’s owner manual.
