CONSUMER RIGHTS
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have 
other rights that vary from state to state.
OWNER’S OBLIGATl0N
When making a claim, you must return the tire to be replaced to your 
Kenda Tires dealer.
Proper vehicle and tire care is necessary to obtain the expected wear 
from a tire. It is your obligation to properly maintain your tires and 
the vehicle upon which they are mounted, including: (A) operating 
your tires at the inflation pressures recommended by the vehicle 
manufacturer, (B) keeping your tire/wheel assemblies in balance. (C) 
proper wheel alignment, and (D) rotation. You must check your tire’s air 
pressure at least monthly and before long trips.
We recommend that you have your Kenda Tires dealer inspect your 
tires any time you notice irregular or uneven tread wear and rotate 
them, if necessary. Also, they should be inspected by your dealer any 
time your vehicle is brought in for service.
TREADWEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For those qualifying brand tires listed in the product chart (see below), 
Kenda Tires will provide prorated credit towards the purchase of a 
comparable brand tire.
You will be responsible for the prorated cost of a replacement  
tire, and also mounting and balancing costs, taxes and any  
other charges.
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows:
(Actual miles driven) ÷ (Amount of warranted miles) X (Actual current 
dealer selling price)

must be inspected by any tire dealer at once. Use of a damaged tire 
could result in sudden tire destruction.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as 
hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads 
which are in poor condition, and off road use. Roads with holes and 
rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of 
your vehicle. When you drive on such roads, drive on them carefully 
and slowly, and before driving at normal or highway speeds, examine 
your tires for any damage, such as cuts or penetrations.
Worn Out Tires Are Dangerous
Tires contain ‘Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the tire tread which show 
up when only 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) tread is remaining. At this 
stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage  
are dangerous.
Do Not Overload 
Driving On Any Overloaded Tire Is Dangerous
The maximum load rating of your tires is marked on the tire sidewall. 
Do not exceed these ratings. Follow the loading instructions of the 
manufacturer of your vehicle and this will insure that your tires are no\
t 
overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable 
loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that m\
ay 
result in sudden tire destruction.
Do not exceed the gross axle weight ratings for any axle on your 
vehicle. TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see any tire dealer for 
advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressures. Tire size 
and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch 
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure of 
tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire placard and the owner’s 
manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further 
recommendations on trailer towing.

Safety Maintenance Information
Read this Owner’s Manual, the information on the sidewall of your 
tires, your vehicle owner’s manual and the tire information placard 
that came on your vehicle, for essential safety and maintenance 
information.
While you should have complete confidence in your new MICHELIN
® 
tires, it’s important to register your tires so we can contact you 
about any new safety developments. For online tire registration, visit 
tireregistration.com.
Tire Failure – Safety Warning
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, 
impact damage, improper inflation, overloading, a crack, a bulge or 
other distortion, or other conditions resulting from use or misuse. Tire 
failures, such as a rapid air loss or a tread and belt detachment, may 
increase risk of injury, death, or property damage. To reduce the risk 
ofa tire failure, you should thoroughly read and follow the instructions\
  
in this manual, your vehicle owner’s manual, the tire information 
placard on the vehicle (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside 
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door), and tire sidewall 
information regarding safety warnings, proper tire use, and proper  
tire maintenance.
Controlling a Vehicle When a Tire Failure Occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, o\
r 
feel the vehicle pull toward the side of the failed tire. If that happen\
s, 
DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. 
Instead, slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the 
steering wheel firmly while steering to remain in your lane. Once 
the vehicle has slowed and is fully in your control, apply the brakes 
gently, safely pull over to the shoulder, and come to a stop in the 
safest location possible. Inspect all tires. If any tire looks flat or low , 
or shows detachment or any other damage, replace the wheel and 
tire with a properly inflated spare after first inspecting the spare for  
Page 126 of 260

124
visible damage. Bumps, bulges, or cracks in any tire may indicate 
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified 
tire professional. If any tire, including the spare, has bumps, bulges, \
cracks, or other visible damage, do not resume driving with that tire. I\
f 
you have no other option, you should drive as slowly and cautiously as 
possible until you can obtain towing or mechanical assistance. If the 
spare tire is not properly inflated, do not resume driving with that tire 
unless you have no other option, in which case you should drive only 
as slowly as is safely possible in the traffic conditions until you can 
both get the spare tire properly inflated and have it checked by a tire 
professional to ensure that it is safe to use.
Proper Inflation
Driving On Any Tire That Does Not Have The Correct 
Inflation Pressure Is Dangerous
An underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in 
sudden tire failure and an accident. If your tires are those that came 
as original equipment on your vehicle when it was new, refer to the tire 
information placard that came on your vehicle (located in the vehicle’s 
door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door), 
for the recommended operating pressures. For replacement tires, 
ask your Michelin tire retailer for the correct inflation  pressure; if you 
do not, refer to the tire information placard that came on your vehicle \
(located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the 
glove compartment door), for the recommended operating pressures. 
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. Never 
exceed the Maximum Pressure rating stated on the tire sidewall. Note 
that proper inflation pressures for rear tires may differ from proper 
inflation pressures for front tires. The Maximum Pressure rating on the 
tire is normally not equal to the placard pressure. 
Page 136 of 260
MICHELIN
134
Tires loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular 
application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire \
failure and an accident. Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for \
any axle on your vehicle.
Trailer Towing
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit your Michelin tire 
retailer for advice about the correct tire size and pressures. Tire size 
and pressures will depend on the type and size of trailer and hitch 
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure 
or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire information placard 
that came on your vehicle, (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside 
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door) and the owner’s 
manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further 
recommendations on trailer towing.
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) Tires and Trailer Towing
Operation of ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in tow 
is dangerous and should be avoided. If the low pressure warning 
indicator is activated when a trailer is in tow, stop, disconnect the 
trailer, and do not continue to tow the trailer until the tire has been 
properly repaired and re-inflated to the proper inflation. If the tire 
cannot be properly repaired, it must be replaced with a new full-size, 
matching ZP tire, and inflated to the proper inflation, before the trailer 
can be safely towed again.
 
Wheel Alignment and Balancing Are Important for 
Safety and Maximum Mileage from Your Tires.

The original usable tread is determined by measuring the depth on 
the tread of an identical model of a new Nitto brand tire to the top of \
the treadwear indicator bars (note: the original usable tread depth will 
vary by tire model).
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows: 
[(Original usable tread worn) ÷ (Original usable tread)]   
x (Actual current dealer selling price).
A comparable Nitto brand tire is the same tire, or a tire of the  
same basic construction and quality, as the original tire, as determined 
by Nitto.
HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM

TOWING OR USE OF SLIDE-IN TRUCK CAMPERS
If you are towing a trailer or using a slide-in truck camper, refer to your 
vehicle Owner’s Manual.
WINTER (SNOW) TIRES
Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle handling. 
The use of winter tires, studs, and chains, while improving traction 
performance in snow and ice, requires additional caution and care with 
regard to braking, cornering, and speed. It is important to drive with 
care not only on snow and ice, but on dry and wet roads as well.
• Traction is considerably reduced as snow tires approach 50% 
tread wear, and replacement should be considered in order to 
maintain effectiveness in heavy snow conditions.
