Blackcircles.com is committed to delivering top quality products that perform at the highest level. To demonstrate our belief in this quality, all tyre brands on Blackcircles.com now come with a Lifetime Guarantee, free of charge!
Regardless of whether you are buying a tyre for your car, van, 4x4 or SUV we’ve got you covered with our Lifetime Guarantee.
The Lifetime Guarantee will cover you in the very unlikely event that your tyre develops a fault due to the manufacturing process or materials used*
Lifetime Guarantee
- Blackcircles.com will provide a replacement tyre where a tyre demonstrates a defect due to the manufacturing process or the materials used in the tyre’s construction.
- Blackcircles.com Lifetime Guarantee covers car, van, 4x4 and SUV tyres sold by Blackcircles.com.
- Blackcircles.com Lifetime Guarantee covers Fully Fitted and Mail Order tyre purchases.
Please note: this guarantee does not affect your statutory rights. Tyre replacements and/or credit will be calculated based on the amount of tread depth remaining at the time the claim is assessed by a Blackcircles.com fitting partner. The Lifetime Guarantee was first introduced in October 2021 - any tyres purchased before this date are not covered.
How to make a claim
In the unlikely event of a claim being required, please contact our team of tyre experts via the email address [email protected].
Our colleagues will look to resolve your claim in a timely manner by taking you through the process and arranging for the tyres to be assessed under the terms of the lifetime guarantee*
On completion of the tyre assessment, a member of the Blackcircles.com team will be in touch to confirm any appropriate credit due.
The level of credit due to you will be based upon the level of tread depth your tyre had left at the time of the fault. The following credit scale shows the amount of credit you could be entitled to:
| Tread Depth |
