AVON’S REVAMPED ROAD HAZARD POLICY A BETTER DEAL
15 June 2004 - Cooper-Avon Tyres Ltd

Cooper-Avon Tyres Limited has simplified its road hazard warranty policy, making it an even better deal than before.

The free warranty has been available from Avon since 1998, and provides a replacement tyre in the event of a puncture or irreparable damage being sustained by one of its Azaro tyres.

Until now the warranty was valid up to the first millimetre of depth expended, but recent steps to simplify the conditions have resulted in some tyres in the range being covered for up to 1.4mm of wear.

Pete McNally, Cooper-Avon’s Product Manager, explained, “Original tread depths vary across a range of tyres, depending on design criteria. Whereas we have previously applied a strict limit of 1millimetre to each individual tyre, we felt that a single minimum remaining tread depth figure, across a range,
would make the warranty simpler for the motorcycle trade to administer. This has resulted in an even better deal for the consumer, who could find his tyre covered by the warranty for 40% longer than before.”

Unique within the British motorcycle industry, and available across the entire Azaro range, the Road Hazard warranty was introduced in response to the introduction in 1997 of British Standard BSAU159f, which advises against the repair of any Z-rated motorcycle tyre.

All a purchaser has to do is to ensure that he or she gets a certificate of fitment completed. Then, if the tyre does suffer an accidental puncture or damage due to a road hazard, the completed certificate is handed over to any Avon stockist who will check the remaining g tread depth and, if the tyre qualifies, arrange a free replacement. All the customer has to pay for is the fitting and balancing of the new Azaro.

Most Avon dealers hold stocks of the Road Hazard Warranty certificates.
