If it is, that would be a Goodyear warranty. I can guarentee you that Chrysler would not guarentee the tires lasting for 100k. make sure that you have proper documentation of tire rotations or they will really give you the runaround.
Personally i would stay away from goodyear. I have never had good luck with them at all.

Well, let's face it, any normal person buying a car with wheels having a 100,000 km warranty would reasonably expect the wheels to deliver them somewhere within 80,000 km of the warranty.
That's a reasonable, common man, expectation.
The fact they only get to 30,000 km and they are $2,400 to replace per set (for four tires, I think) can't help but leave you with the impression that someone else should be responsible . . . . either the manufacturer of the vehicle for using inadequate wheels, the dealer for not informing you of the issue or the tire manufacturer.
Essentially, its about $2,400 per year with reasonable driving.
I'm pretty sure no one is going to take responsibility for it though . . . it's an interesting and expensive situation for the buyer of this particular model.
Wonderful car though. Motortrend's car of the year in 2005. I understand a lot of them are being traded in though, probably because of this issue.
