Even a MICHELIN® PAX® System Tire or Self-Supporting Zero
Pressure (ZP) tire can build up excessive heat when run underinflated
for an extended period of time. The length of time and distance a
PAX® System Tire/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire will
perform at low or zero air pressure will depend upon the severity of
the event causing air loss, ambient temperature, speed at which the
tire is operated, and the conditions under which the tire is operated
(i.e. hard braking, cornering and other sharp maneuvers will greatly
reduce the length of time the tire can perform at low or zero air
pressure.) Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead to sudden
tire destruction. If a tire at low or zero pressure begins to vibrate or
cause difficulty in vehicle handling, remove the tire immediately and
replace with the temporary spare. If Michelin® PAX® System Tire/
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires are supplied as original
equipment, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for complete details
on the low tire pressure warning system designed to alert you in the
event of a low pressure condition.
NOTE:
MICHELIN® SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES
AR
E TO BE USED ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN OPERA -
TIONAL, MICHELIN® APPROVED, LOW TIRE PRESSURE
WA
RNING SYSTEM. Otherwise, all provisions of the limited
warranty are void. For a list of approved systems, see your partici -
pating Michelin® tire retailer, or call toll free:1-

NOTE:
Some MICHELIN® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires can only
be
mounted on special SH-M (Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels.
These tires bear the special SH-M designation, molded into the side -
wall of the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT A TIRE
WI
TH THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON THE SIDEWALL ON A
STANDARD WHEEL. DOING SO VOIDS THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO BECOME
UNSERVICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE:
MICHELIN® PAX® SYSTEM TIRES ARE TO BE USED ONLY IN
CO
NJUNCTION WITH AN OPERATIONAL, TIRE PRESSURE

“B
leeding” air from hot tires could result in underinflation. Use an
accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow children to
inflate or deflate tires.
FOR MICHELIN® PAX® SYSTEM TIRES/SELF-SUPPORTING
ZE
RO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOLLOWING A LOW PRESSURE
WARNING
The PAX® System requires a functioning, correctly calibrated
on
-board vehicle tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to
monitor the air pressure and alert the driver when a low pressure
event occurs. Be certain to ensure that your vehicle’s TPMS is
functioning and is correctly calibrated. Refer to your vehicle
Owner’s Manual or your vehicle dealer.
Low pressure warning systems are designed to alert the driver to a
lo
w air pressure situation in at least one tire on the vehicle. While your
ZP tires are designed to provide continued mobility in the event of an
air loss, the sooner you respond to a warning and take corrective
action, the greater the likelihood that the tire can be returned to
service.
Always visually inspect your MICHELIN® PAX® System tire and
se
lf-supporting tires and use a pressure gauge to check the air
pressure in all four tires following any low pressure warning.
(Unless advised to do otherwise by the manufacturer of your low
pressure warning system.)
If the tire pressure is at or below 18 PSI, proceed to the nearest
Au
thorized PAX® System Retailer for PAX® tires or a participating
Michelin® tire retailer for ZP tires or a representative of your
vehicle manufacturer if advised to do so in your vehicle Owner’s
Manual and have the tire demounted and thoroughly inspected for
possible internal damage.
If you are unable to see any damage to the tire, and the tire pressure
is
more than 18 PSI, reinflate your tire to the proper air pressure. See
Page 168 of 262

MICHELIN®

instructions for checking pressures when tires are hot. When tires
have cooled, check air pressure again. If any tire has lost more than
5 PSI from the previous pressure check, have the tire inspected at
once by an authorized PAX® System Retailer for PAX® tires or a
participating Michelin® tire retailer or representative of your
vehicle manufacturer if your vehicle Owner’s Manual so advises.
Failure to do so may cause irreparable damage to the tire and result
in sudden tire destruction and personal injury.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS):
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
Sy
stem (TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires
mounted on your vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire
pressure falls below a predetermined level. A TPMS should not
replace monthly manual pressure checks for all four tires and the
spare. We recommend that you manually monitor and check tire
pressure inflation with a pressure gauge. Your tires should have the
recommended pressure listed by your vehicle’s manufacturer. This
information can be found in the vehicle Owner’s Manual and often on
a placard located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or
on the glove compartment door. If you have a plus size fitment that
requires a higher inflation pressure, your tire pressure monitoring
system will require re-calibration to new inflation pressure. Refer to
your tire dealer/installer of plus size tires for proper inflation
pressure.
We recommend checking air pressure once each month, and before a
l o
ng trip. Whether you have a full-sized or mini-spare, make sure that
it is properly inflated as well. If the TPMS generates improper
monitoring or signals we recommend that you consult your Owner’s
Manual provided with your vehicle and follow-up with your vehicle’s
manufacturer.
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on the
sp
eedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running, unloaded tire can
cause it to “explode” from centrifugal force. The energy released by
such an explosion is sufficient to cause serious physical injury or
death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind the spinning tire.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions, do not
en
gage in excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor excessively,
particularly with automatic transmission vehicles, may cause a drive

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
th
at 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
fr
ont 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
co
nstruction should be used in a five 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 Tires
It is recommended that all four tires are replaced at the same time.
Ho
wever, 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
SU
VS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as
SU
Vs 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

5. DOT Street Legal Competition Tires
P Zero Trofeo and P Zero Corsa tire lines use special tire construction
an
d compounds to achieve their distinctive performance in dry
conditions. As a result of that, their performance in cold temperatures,
heavy rain or standing water will be decreased. Use extreme caution
and drive slowly on wet roads.
The minimum tread depth will be reached earlier than normal road
ti
res, resulting in reduced tread life.
6. Winter Tires
The standard Pirelli tires may be effective in light snow conditions.
Ho
wever, for winter use, you may wish to install winter tires. During
winter use, Pirelli strongly recommends the fitment of four winter
tires. Please check your vehicle owner’s manual concerning winter tire
size recommendation. If the winter tires have a lower speed rating
than the original equipment tires, vehicle handling may be affected,
and the vehicle maximum speed must be reduced to the winter tire
speed rating.
Pirelli requires
that studded tires be installed on all four positions.
Installing studded tires only on the drive positions of any vehicle,
including a front wheel drive vehicle, may cause adverse handling
characteristics.
7. Run Flat Tires
Always refer to the vehicle owners’ manual with respect to specific
sa
fety and operating information relating to the vehicle. Damaged
Run Flat tires or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of pressure
should immediately be replaced with another Run Flat tire of identical
size and Service Description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat tires have been developed based on the specifications of the
ve
hicles on which they are mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat tires
should only be mounted on vehicles specifically manufactured to
accommodate Run Flat tires.
Run Flat tires must be mounted in conjunction with a functional Tire
Pr
essure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The mounting of tires and installation of the TPMS should be carried
ou
t by a specialized dealer.

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEMS (TPMS)Even if your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system, you should check your tire pressure
at
least once per month when the tires are cold for
example, after being parked overnight. Tire pressure
warning systems are not a substitute for regular tire
pressure maintenance.
IDENTIFYING DAMAGED TIRES
• I f your tire strikes a road hazard at any speed, internal tire damage
c
ould result, which may lead to sudden tire failure and loss of
vehicle control. Tire failure may even occur miles after the initial
impact. Impact damage from such hazards may not be visible on the
outside of the tire. Have your Toyo Tires® dealer dismount the tire
and inspect it for damage. A tire may not have visible signs of
damage on the tire surface or the interior.
• If the impact was sufficient to bend the wheel flange, internal tire
d
amage may have occurred, compromising the safety and integrity
of the tire. Such impact damage may result in a sudden tire failure
many weeks or months later. Tire replacement is highly recom -
mended as a safety precaution.
• Indications of impact damage include, but are not limited to, a
b
ubble or a blister on the outside of the tire.
• Have your dealer inspect your tires if you see anything unusual or
i
f cuts, cracks, splitting, or bruises in the tread and sidewall areas are
visible. Bumps or bulges may indicate a serious and dangerous
separation within the tire body. Have your tire inspected by a qual -
ified tire service person. It may be necessary to have the tire
re
moved from the wheel for a complete inspection.
WARNING!
If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, read the vehicle Owner’s
Ma
nual regarding its operation. Some TPMS systems do not alert
you until the tires are significantly underinflated, which could
result in permanent tire damage and possible sudden tire failure.
In the event that your TPMS malfunction indicator lamp is
displayed, you should immediately pull over to a safe parking
area and check your tires.
