TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT
To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires.
Refer to your vehicle owner ’s manual for instructions on tire rotation. If
you do not have an owner‘s manual for your vehicle, Michelin recom-
mends rotating your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km).
Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should be
rotated at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before 6,000
miles (10,000 km). This is true for all vehicles.
MICHELIN

avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes and obey all traffic laws.
Failure to do so may result in loss of vehicle control leading to an accident
and serious injury or death.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made any alterations on your tires.
Alterations may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage
which can result in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable due to
alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or
sealant liquids, or the use of tire dressing containing petroleum distillates
are excluded from warranty coverage.
REPAIRS WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR MICHELIN® TIRE
RETAILER AT ONCE
If any MICHELIN® tire sustains a puncture, have the tire demounted and
thoroughly inspected by any Michelin tire retailer for possible damage that
may have occurred. A tread area puncture in any MICHELIN® passenger or
light truck tire can be repaired provided that the puncture hole is not more
than 1/4” in diameter, not more than one radial cable per casing ply is
damaged, and the tire has not been damaged further by the puncturing
object or by running underinflated. Tire punctures consistent with these
guidelines can be repaired by following the Rubber Manufacturers Asso-
ciation (RMA) recommended repair procedures.
TIRE REPAIRS
Repairs of all tires must be of the combined plug and inside patch type.
Your MICHELIN® PAX® System tires must be removed from the wheel
for inspection prior to repair. Plug only repairs are improper. A tire
should be removed from the rim and inspected prior to repair. Any tire
repair done without removing the tire from the rim is improper. An
improperly repaired tire will cause further damage to the tire by either
leaking air or allowing air, moisture and contaminants to enter the
structure of the tire. An improperly repaired tire can fail suddenly at a
later date.
Never repair a tire with less than 2/32 nds of an inch tread remaining. At
this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
MICHELIN
179

Page 189 of 270

After the 100% replacement term expires and the tire is still within 72
months from date of manufacture, the amount of credit will be deter-
mined by the percentage of original tread depth remaining on the tire.
Under all circumstances, the cost of mounting, balancing and any other
service charges including applicable taxes are required to be paid by the
consumer.
MILEAGE TREAD WEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Most patterns manufactured by NEXEN TIRE are assigned a mileage
warranty that protects the consumer against premature tread wear. If a
tire reaches the end of its “usable tread life” before the stated mileage
warranty, the consumer will be issued a replacement Nexen tire on a pro
rata basis, which means the consumer will be responsible for a percent-
age of the replacement cost. In order to maintain tread wear warranty, all
tires must be rotated at least every 5,000-6,000 miles (8,000-10,000 km).
Under all circumstances, the cost of mounting, balancing and any other
service charges including applicable taxes are required to be paid by the
consumer.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
•Ride complaints after the first 2/32 of tread wear or replacement of 3
or more tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted.
• Road hazard damage such as cuts, snags, punctures or tire repair,
bruises, impact breaks, etc. (Check Road Hazard Replacement Pro-
gram for patterns that are covered against this type of damage).
• Premature or irregular wear due to vehicle mechanical deficiencies or
failure to rotate the tires at recommended intervals.
• Tires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the
United States.
• Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incorrect
application, water or other material trapped inside the tire during
mounting or failure to balance the tires.
• Damage from over or under inflation, overloading, fire, theft, and
defective vehicle mechanical conditions.
• Racing, off road use and misapplications of tire to vehicle.
• Ozone or weather cracking on tires after 48 months from the date of
manufacture or other abuse, misuse, tire alteration, run flat.

Road Hazard Policy For Run Flat Tires Only
Pirelli Run Flat tires are manufactured with technology that allows
limited low-inflation operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure.
Pirelli does not recommend the repair of run flat tires and as a result,
Pirelli provides road hazard coverage on all Pirelli produced tires that are
manufactured with run flat technology. To qualify for Run Flat Road
Hazard coverage, a completed claim form along with the tire exhibiting
the road hazard must be returned to Pirelli through an authorized Pirelli
dealer.
If a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or materials
anomalies or road hazard injury during the initial warranty period,
which is one year from the date of original retail purchase of the vehicle
or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt required) or within the
first 2/32” of the original usable tread, whichever occurs first, the tire will
be replaced with the same or comparable tire at no charge for the tire to
the owner. After the initial warranty period, if a Run Flat tire becomes
unserviceable due to workmanship or materials anomalies or road
hazard injury, the owner must pay the cost of a comparable new Pirelli
brand or PTI private brand replacement tire on a pro-rata basis. The
authorized Pirelli dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current dealer selling
price. The owner must pay for any associated service charges, including
costs associated with mounting and balancing of the tire. This Road
Hazard Policy is not a warranty. PTI does not warranty that a Pirelli tire
will not fail due to road hazard and does not authorize any person,
including authorized Pirelli dealers, to make such a warranty.

TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing 1 psi per month over several months along
with a 1 psi decrease for every 10°F temperature drop could add up to a
severe “run low” condition; consequently, it is important to check your
tires’ inflation pressure at least once per month. Inflation pressure enables
a tire to support its load; therefore, proper inflation is critical.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated just by
looking at them.
