CAUTION       :
Please be aware that it is important before fitting the suggested tires, 
to ensure that the fitting is allowed by the technical specifications of  
the vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and relevant laws/regulations. 
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 RATING THAT EQUALS OR EXCEEDS THAT 
OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES OF THE VEHICLE. FOR 
ADDITIONAL TIRE CARE RECOMMENDATIONS, PLEASE REFER 
TO THE “TIRE CARE AND SERVICE” SECTION BELOW.
How to Initiate a Claim Under This Limited Warranty
To initiate a warranty claim, the Pirelli tire(s) must be returned to an 
authorized Pirelli dealer. If the tire(s) are covered by this Limited

THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES STATED IN THIS LIMITED 
WARRANTY ARE PIRELLI’S ONLY RESPONSIBILITY, AND YOUR

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
