Universal's Added Tire Protection (ATP) enhances our standard 5 year manufacturer's defects warranty.  The ATP program provides additional security by protecting your tires against any unforseen road hazards.  Simply put, any tire that becomes unserviceable or sustains sidewall damage due to a road hazard will be repaired or replaced.  If damage occurs or a defect is discovered, one quick call will have us dispatching FedEx to pick up your tire and return it to our warehouse in Hershey, PA.  ATP even pays the cost of shipping to send the replacement tire back to you.  Our Added Tire Protection covers your tires for the usable tread life or 5 years (whichever comes first).

 

$20 per tire for tires valued up to $299.

$30 per tire for tires valued $300 to $499.
