and Replacement Tires manufactured with Pirelli Run Flat or
PNCS technology.
If a Run Flat or PNCS tire becomes unserviceable due to road hazard
damage within the first year from the date of purchase, or within the
first 2/32” of the original usable tread, whichever occurs first, the Pirelli
tire will be replaced with an identical or comparable tire at no charge \
for the tire to the owner, including mounting and balancing (subject to
applicable limitations).
What Is Not Covered by this Limited Warranty?
• Ride-related claims after the first year of purchase, or after the
first 2/32” of useable tread, whichever comes first. These include,
without limitation, uneven wear due to misalignment, worn
suspension components, mechanical interference and/or improper
inflation, flat spots due to improper transport, improper storage
and/or braking, road irregularities, etc.
•
Irregular wear.
•
Excessive noise emissions.
•
Tires with 2/32” or less tread remaining.
•
Tire damage and surface cracks due to use in low ambient
temperatures (except in winter and all-season Pirelli tires as
defined in the applicable Pirelli Product Catalog).
•
Tire damage due to abuse or misuse, including without limitation:
- improper mounting/dismounting practices, application of
aftermarket wheel protection hardware, abuse, misuse,
or neglect;
- misapplication, including improper fitment, insufficient Speed
Rating, or Load Index, or undersized or oversized tires;
-improper repair, repair not conforming to U.S. Tire
Manufacturers Association standards, or repairs with a self-
vulcanizing plug only or patch only;
- modification by the addition or removal of material or alteration
to change the appearance or performance of the tire;
-recapping, retreading, regrooving or in the studding process;
- tire operation in excess of tire/wheel manufacturers’
specifications and recommendations, including spinning;

On all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles the tires must always
be replaced in sets of four. When replacing tires, you should always
follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Passenger and
light truck tires are not interchangeable, due to differences in their
pressures and load carrying capacity.
P-Metric and Euro-Metric Interchangeability: Euro-Metric (Example:
225/45R17) tires have a load index which is equal to or greater than
that of the same size P-Metric (Example: P225/45R17) tire. Therefore,
they have the same or higher load carrying capacity at the maximum
rated inflation pressure. Always check with your tire dealer or Pirelli
Tire Consumer Affairs to check interchangeability to maintain proper
vehicle dynamics.
Please be aware that it is important, before fitting the suggested tires,
to confirm that the fitment is allowed by the technical specifications of
the vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and the relevant homologations.
Pirelli does not express any view as to the compatibility of the wheel/
tire combination with the technical specifications for the chassis
and vehicle.
TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRYING
CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS HAVE A LOAD
INDEX AND SPEED SYMBOL EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN
THOSE FITTED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
When installing plus size fitments, you should consult with the dealer
regarding any suspension or braking system modifications which may
be recommended for the vehicle.
Tire Inspection
As a minimum, tires 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 dealer and replaced if necessary.
Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in the tread grooves, which
clearly show when the tread has worn to 2/32” remaining. At this point,
your tires must be replaced because they do not meet the federal

If you experience a blowout or a sudden tire failure, the following
information should be helpful:•
When the tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, or feel a
vibration, and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed
tire. Do not abruptly brake or turn.
•
Maintain steady pressure on the accelerator pedal.
•
Hold the steering wheel firmly and steer to maintain your
lane position.
•
Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to
gradually decelerate. Apply light braking as required to stop safely.
•
Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a
damaged tire on your vehicle.
•
Seek roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your
spare tire.
•
Have all of your tires and the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a
tire professional.
TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all
tires on a vehicle. Your tires should be thoroughly examined on a lift by
a tire dealer for any abnormalities. If tires show uneven treadwear, ask
the service person to check and/or correct any vehicle wheel alignment
or other mechanical problem before rotation.
The following rotation patterns are acceptable. Please refer to your
vehicle Owner’s Manual for rotation advice.
