Motorcycle tire warranty guide for Philippine riders · Research checked October 30, 2026 · Philippine manufacturer policy verified.
A tire warranty is not the same as the safe life of a tire. Manufacturing dates, purchase receipts, tread wear, accidental damage and the local seller all matter. Always inspect a damaged tire and follow the motorcycle and tire maker’s safety instructions.
This guide is part of a series on the warranty terms of six well-known motorcycle tire brands sold in the Philippines: Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Metzeler, Eurogrip and Dunlop. Each guide shows what the published terms say and what still needs checking with a local seller.
What does Michelin’s warranty say?
Michelin’s Philippine warranty policy, effective January 1, 2026, expressly includes motorcycle tires. Qualifying replacement tires are covered against design, workmanship and material defects under normal service conditions until the usable original tread is exhausted or six years from purchase, whichever happens first. The original invoice establishes the purchase date, and the policy also limits claims to within ten years of manufacture.
What should riders check before making a claim?
Michelin excludes several causes including improper fitting, incorrect inflation, misuse, accidents, unsuitable rims, unauthorized purchases and damage resulting from mechanical problems. Compensation may depend on remaining tread depth.
What to ask the dealer
Before buying, ask for the written local warranty terms, confirm the covered tire model and authorized sales channel, keep the dated receipt, photograph the sidewall manufacturing code and understand whether replacement or compensation is prorated. Do not continue riding on a damaged tire while awaiting a claim.
What the published evidence tells us
Philippine-specific detail: Michelin’s published policy specifies a motorcycle tread-wear threshold of 0.8 mm and requires the original purchase invoice. The six-year period ends earlier if the original usable tread is exhausted. Ask an authorized dealer to assess any suspected manufacturing defect.
