ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an authorized tire dealer or original
equipment dealer with any questions you may have on tire specifications
or capability. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely
affect the safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.
WARNING!
•Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or speed rating other than
that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved
tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and perfor-
mance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling,
and braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpredictable han-
dling and stress to steering and suspension components. You could
lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury or
death. Use only the tire and wheel sizes with load ratings approved
for your vehicle.
• Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity, other than
what was originally equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in tire overloading and failure. You
could lose control and have a collision.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed
capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle
control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in
false speedometer and odometer readings.

CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, ORSUSPENSION ON
SUVS ANDLIGHT TRUCKS
Due totheir size,weight andhigher centerofgravity, vehicles suchas
SUVs andlight trucks donot have thesame handling characteristics as
automobiles. Becauseofthese differing characteristics, failuretooperate
your SUV/truck inaproper andsafe manner canincrease thelikelihood
of vehicle rollover. Modifications toyour SUV/truck tiresize,
tire type,
wheels orsuspension canchange itshandling characteristics andfurther
increase thelikelihood ofvehicle rollover. Whether yourSUV/truck has
the original equipment configuration fortires, wheels andsuspension or
whether anyofthese items havebeenmodified, alwaysdrivesafely,
avoid sudden, sharpturnsorlane changes andobey alltraffic laws.
Failur e

 to do somay result inloss ofvehicle controlleading toan accident
and serious injuryordeath.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make orallow tobe made anyalterations onyour tires.
Alterations mayprevent properperformance, leadingtotire damage
which canresult inan accident. Tireswhich become unserviceable dueto
alterations suchastruing, whitewall inlays,addition ofbalancing or
sealant liquids, orthe use oftire dressing containing

When rotating tires with a directional tread pattern, observe the arrows
molded on the sidewall which show the direction the tire should turn.
Care must be taken to maintain the proper turning direction.
Some Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) may not recognize
that a tire has been moved to a different position on your vehicle. Make
certain that your TPMS system is reset, if necessary, so as to correctly
identify the location of each tire on your vehicle. Refer to your vehicle
owner ’s manual or your vehicle dealer.
Determine whether rotated tires require tire inflation adjustment as front
and rear position tire pressure may vary according to the vehicle
manufacturer ’s specification due to the actual load on that wheel
position. Some vehicles may have different sized tires mounted on the
front and rear axles, and these different sized tires have rotation
restrictions. Always check the vehicle owner ’s manual for the proper
rotation recommendations.
Full-size Spare
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and construc-
tion should be used in a five (5) tire rotation. Always check the inflation
pressure of the full-size spare immediately before incorporating it into
rotation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer ’s recommended pattern for
rotation, or if not available, see a qualified tire technician.
Replacement of Two (2) Tires
It is recommended that all four (4) tires are replaced at the same time.
However, when only two tires are replaced, the new tires should be put
on the rear. The new tires, with deeper tread, may provide better grip and
water evacuation in wet driving conditions.
CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, OR SUSPENSION ON
SUVS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as
SUVs and light trucks do not have the same handling characteristics as
automobiles. Because of these differing characteristics, failure to operate
your SUV/truck in a proper and safe manner can increase the likelihood
of vehicle rollover. Modifications to your SUV/truck tire size, tire type,
wheels or suspension can change its handling characteristics and further
increase the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Whether your SUV/truck has
the original equipment configuration for tires, wheels and suspension or
whether any of these items have been modified, always drive safely,
MICHELIN178

TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRY-
ING CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS HAVE A
LOAD INDEX AND SPEED SYMBOL EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN
THOSE FITTED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
When making plus size fitments, you should consult with the dealer
regarding any suspension or braking system modifications which may be
recommended for the vehicle.
9. Tire Inspection
As a minimum, tires (including the spare tire) should be examined and air
pressure checked monthly and always prior to long trips. They should also
be examined if you strike any unusual object on the road. Tires showing
bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations or uneven wear must be dismounted and
examined by an authorized Pirelli tire dealer and replaced if necessary.
Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in the tread grooves, which show up
when the tread has worn to 2/32” remaining. At this point, your tires must
be replaced because they are illegal and dangerous.
The mere passage of time (age) does not cause tires to deteriorate, but
rather exposure to outside forces. Such outside forces can include, but are
not limited to: road hazards, punctures, improper repairs, misalignment,
under inflated operation, over inflated operation, excessive heat caused
by over deflected operation, excessive exposure to ozone, improper
storage conditions, etc. Tire companies can only have an impact on a few
of these exposures. Tire companies add antiozinants and anti-oxidants
(anti-degradation compounds) to minimize degradation. Pirelli believes
that since there is no way to accurately predict what outside forces a tire
will be exposed to there is no scientifically supportable age limit that can
be set for tires.
To avoid cosmetic damage, use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls
and rinse off with low-pressure tap water. Never apply cleaners or
dressings to enhance sidewall appearance to avoid removal of antioxi-
dants, which are intended to prevent ozone degradation. The removal of
anti-oxidants may degrade the rubber and can lead to sidewall cracking.
Use of high-pressure sprayers may cause sidewall damage.
WARNING!
Driving on a damaged tire is dangerous, as the tire can suddenly fail,
which can lead to an accident and serious personal injury or death.

•When two new tires have been installed onto the rear axle positions,
they are to be kept on the rear but rotated from side to side. This is
recommended after installing two new tires to the rear position, or if
you discover significant tread depth differences between the front and
rear positions during rotation intervals.
REPLACING ONE TIRE
•Replacing a single tire on a vehicle can have an adverse effect on
suspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
• If single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that the
single new tire be paired with the tire that has the deepest tread and
both be placed on the rear axle. Placing greater traction on the rear axle
on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a possible oversteer condition
and loss of vehicle stability.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
•Proper wheel alignment and balance are very important consider-
ations for safety and getting the maximum mileage from your tires.
You need to check how your tires are wearing at least once a month.
• Your vehicle may be out of alignment if your tires are wearing
unevenly, such as when the inside shoulder of the tire is wearing faster
than the rest of the tread. This condition not only shortens the life of
your tires, it adversely affects the handling characteristics of your
vehicle, which could be dangerous. If your tires show irregular wear,
have your vehicle’s alignment checked immediately.

VEHICLES WITH MODIFIED SUSPENSION
WARNING!
ROLLOVER HAZARD
Large-diameter tires and modified suspensions that increase ground
clearance will alter vehicle handling.
•The vehicle may become more likely to roll over.
• Braking distances may increase.
• Slower speeds may be required to maintain control.
Drive with extreme caution until you become familiar with how
your vehicle handles. Always wear your seat belt.
Some modifications may be illegal in your state. Consult your
Owner ’s Manual, the instructions for this product, and state law
before modifying your vehicle.
USEFUL TIRE INFORMATION
There is a lot of useful information molded into the sidewall of a tire. It
shows the name of the tire, its size, if it is tubeless or tube type, the
maximum load and maximum inflation, and important safety warnings.
The sidewall markings on passenger and light truck tires are slightly
different.
