Michelin warranty for tires
The short version
Michelin doesn't cover everything, but keeps tire (workmanship and materials) and satisfaction guarantee covered to 6 years. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Michelin's published warranty, checked October 2026.
