Use the Original Tire Tread Depth utility to both define original tire tread depth and create percent of wear tables for warranty and return purposes.
Original tire tread depth is the thickness of a tire's tread before it is used. Tire tread depth is defined in integrals of 1/32 of an inch. When customer's return tires, you can compare the tire's original tread depth with its remaining tread depth to begin in determining the tire's return value.
Percent of wear tables consist of refund percentages assigned to a tire's original tread depth and the remaining tire tread depth. After comparing the tire's original and remaining tread depth, the system applies the percent of wear table to determine the return value for the tire.
For example, you create a percent of wear table with the original tread depth being 3/32 and the following values:
|
Remaining Depth |
Percent of Wear |
|
3/32 |
100% |
|
1/16 |
50 % |
|
1/32 |
0 % |
If a customer returns a tire with the original tread depth of 3/32, then the system refunds them 100% of the tire's sell price.
If the customer returns a tire with a tread depth of 1/16, the system refunds them only 50% of the tire's sell price.
If the customer returns a tire with a tread depth of 1/32, the system refunds them 0% of the tire's sell price.
Note: The Original Tire Tread Depth utility works with Return Goods Verification.
