Dunlop Go Beyond Assurance: 18-Month or 20,000 km Warranty
The Dunlop Go Beyond Assurance is a tyre warranty programme offered by Dunlop Tyres Malaysia, covering passenger car and SUV tyres for up to 18 months or 20,000 km, whichever comes first. It is designed to protect Malaysian drivers against manufacturing defects and certain road hazard damages, reducing the financial risk of premature tyre failure. The warranty is administered by the official Malaysian distributor, Sumitomo Rubber Industries (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, and applies to tyres purchased from authorised Dunlop dealers across Malaysia.
This warranty addresses a common pain point for Malaysian motorists: unexpected tyre damage from potholes, debris, or manufacturing flaws, which can be costly in urban and suburban driving conditions. By offering a defined coverage period and kilometre limit, Dunlop aims to build consumer confidence in its product range, which includes models such as the Dunlop Enasave, Dunlop SP Sport, and Dunlop Grandtrek series.

What Does the Dunlop Go Beyond Assurance Cover?
The Dunlop Go Beyond Assurance covers manufacturing defects and workmanship errors for up to 18 months or 20,000 km, as well as certain road hazard damages such as impact breaks, bulges, and punctures that are not repairable. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, improper inflation, misuse, or tyres that have been repaired without authorisation.
According to the official announcement on Paul Tan’s Automotive News, the programme is designed to “give Malaysian drivers peace of mind when investing in Dunlop tyres, especially on roads where potholes and debris are common.” The warranty is transferable to a subsequent vehicle owner if the original purchaser registers the tyre online within 30 days of purchase.
“Dunlop’s Go Beyond Assurance is a direct response to the needs of Malaysian motorists who face unpredictable road conditions. We want them to drive with confidence, knowing that their tyre investment is protected for up to 18 months or 20,000 km.”

“The Dunlop Go Beyond Assurance covers manufacturing defects and select road hazard damages for up to 18 months or 20,000 km, whichever comes first.”
How to Claim the Warranty in Malaysia?
To claim the Dunlop Go Beyond Assurance, the original purchaser must register the tyres online at the official Dunlop Malaysia website within 30 days of purchase. In the event of a covered failure, the owner must bring the tyre to an authorised Dunlop dealer along with the original purchase receipt and registration confirmation. The dealer will inspect the tyre and, if approved, provide a pro-rata replacement or credit based on remaining tread depth.
The claim process typically takes 3 to 7 working days. Dunlop Malaysia states that claims are processed free of charge, but the customer may need to pay for mounting and balancing if a replacement is issued. As of 2026, the company reports that approximately 92% of eligible claims are approved within the first 12 months of coverage.
“To claim the warranty, Malaysian users must register their tyres online within 30 days of purchase and present the tyre at an authorised Dunlop dealer for inspection.”
What Are the Exclusions and Conditions?
The warranty excludes tyres that have been run flat, improperly repaired, or used beyond the legal tread depth of 1.6 mm. It also does not cover damage from off-road use, competition, or commercial applications. Tyres must be used on the vehicle for which they were originally fitted, and the warranty is void if the tyre has been altered or tampered with.
Dunlop Malaysia notes that the warranty is non-transferable if the tyres are sold separately from the vehicle. Additionally, claims must be made within the coverage period; no extensions are granted. The company recommends regular tyre inspections every 10,000 km to maintain eligibility.
“The Dunlop Go Beyond Assurance does not cover tyres used beyond 1.6 mm tread depth, run-flat damage, or unauthorised repairs.”
Who Is This Warranty For in Malaysia?
This warranty is ideal for Malaysian private car owners who drive in urban and suburban areas with frequent potholes, debris, and uneven road surfaces. It suits owners of compact sedans, hatchbacks, and SUVs who want financial protection against premature tyre failure. The 20,000 km limit aligns with typical annual mileage for city drivers in the Klang Valley, where average annual driving is around 15,000 to 20,000 km.
For high-mileage drivers (e.g., those exceeding 20,000 km per year), the warranty may expire by distance before time. For low-mileage users, the 18-month time limit provides adequate coverage. The programme is not designed for commercial fleets, off-road enthusiasts, or motorsport applications.
“The Dunlop Go Beyond Assurance is best suited for Malaysian private car owners driving 15,000 to 20,000 km annually in urban conditions.”
Common Questions
Does the warranty cover tyres bought from online marketplaces like Shopee or Lazada?
No. The warranty only applies to tyres purchased from authorised Dunlop dealers in Malaysia. Online purchases from third-party sellers are not covered unless the seller is listed as an authorised dealer on the Dunlop Malaysia website.
Can I transfer the warranty to a new owner if I sell my car?
Yes, but only if the original purchaser registered the tyres online within 30 days of purchase. The new owner must provide the original purchase receipt and registration details to make a claim.
What happens if my tyre fails after 18 months but with less than 20,000 km?
The warranty expires at 18 months regardless of kilometre usage. Dunlop Malaysia does not offer extensions. After the period, the tyre is no longer covered under the Go Beyond Assurance programme.
