WARNING!
Property damage, serious personal injury or death may result if
an
y of the following safety precautions/recommendations are not
followed:
• Driving on any underinflated tire is dangerous and may result in
s
udden tire destruction caused by excessive heat build-up. For
replacement tires, your tire retailer should provide you with the
proper inflation pressure. Otherwise, follow the air pressure
recommendation found within your vehicle’s owner manual or
tire placard in your vehicle. If your replacement tire size is
different from the original equipment tire size, ask your tire
retailer for a revised air pressure recommendation guide in order
to adequately support your vehicle’s GVWR.
• Check the cold inflation pressure in all of your tires, including
t
he spare tire, at least once every week and always prior to long
distance trips. Failure to maintain the proper air inflation pres -
sure may result in improper vehicle handling, and may cause
ra
pid and irregular tire wear, reduction in tire durability, loss of
vehicle control, or sudden tire failure that may lead to property
damage, serious personal injury or death.

KUMHO TIRES

(Continued)
• Use an accurate tire gauge to check tire air pressures. Always
maintain the proper recommended air inflation pressure in all
tires. If there is an indication that one of your tires has lost four
or more pounds of air pressure, immediately look for signs of
penetration through the tire, valve leaks or wheel damage that
may account for the air loss. You should also have your tires
inspected by a tire retailer immediately.
• Air pressure should be checked when tires are cold (before they
h
ave been driven), ideally in the early morning. Driving, regard -
less of distance, causes tires to heat up and simultaneously
in
crease air pressure.
• Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure for the tire.
•
Never bleed air from hot tires as this may result in underinfla -
t
ion.
• Inspect your tires daily. If you notice any damage to your tires or
w
heels, replace them with a spare and immediately visit any tire
retailer for advice. Driving over potholes, curbs, wood debris,
metal, etc., can damage a tire and should be safely avoided.
Contact with such hazards requires an immediate and thorough
tire inspection by your tire retailer.
• Always examine your tires for penetrations, bulges, cracks, cuts,
a
nd abnormal wear – particularly at the tire edges – which may
be caused by, for example, vehicle misalignment or tire underin -
flation. Failure to properly control a vehicle when one or more
ti
res are underinflated may result in an accident. Use of a
damaged tire may result in rapid air loss, including sudden tire
failure.
• An explosion of the tire/rim assembly may occur due to improper
m
ounting. Only specially trained persons should mount tires.
• Failure to store tires in accordance with the following recom -
m
endations may result in damage to your tires, reduction in tire
du
rability, or sudden tire failure.
WARNING! (Continued)

KUMHO TIRES
153
• Tires should always be stored in a cool. dry, clean, indoor envi -
ronment. Tires contain waxes and emollients to protect their
ou
ter surfaces from ozone and weather cracking. As the tire rolls
and flexes, the waxes and emollients continually migrate to the
tire’s surface, replenishing this protection throughout the
normal and proper use of the tire. However, when tires sit
outdoors and are unused for an extended period of time, the tire
surface becomes dry, the tire may be susceptible to ozone and
weather cracking, and the casing becomes susceptible to flat
spotting.
• Surfaces on which tires are stored must be free from grease, gaso -
l
ine, and other substances that could deteriorate the rubber.
• You should have a qualified technician check all tires where the
K
umho Tire U.S.A., Inc. warranty policy period has lapsed, even
if damage is not obvious.
• ?
Do not overload your tires. Driving on any overloaded tire is
extremely dangerous and may result in an accident causing prop -
erty damage, serious personal injury or death.
• The maximum load rating marked on the sidewall of any tire is
b
ased on the maximum speed of operation. Tires that are loaded
beyond their maximum allowable loads for a particular applica -
tion will generate increased and excessive heat that may cause
su
dden tire failure leading to property damage, serious personal
injury or death.

ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a Michelin® passenger or light truck tire,
yo
u are covered by all the benefits and conditions (subject to the
maintenance recommendations and safety warnings) contained in this
booklet. To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the
terms and conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully. It is
essential that you also read and understand the safety and
maintenance recommendations for tires contained in this booklet.
Limited Mileage Warranty:
Michelin® passenger and light truck tires – replacement and original
eq
uipment – are covered by a limited mileage warranty (hereafter
referred to as limited warranty for treadwear). For the mileage
warranty associated with each tire line, please see your Michelin® tire
retailer – or visit us at
www.michelinman.com/home
.
Certain conditions and limitations apply. Mileage warranties vary by
ti
re line and certain exclusions may apply.
Self-Supporting Tires
Zero Pressure (ZP)
As the purchaser of a Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP)
pa
ssenger tire, mounted on a vehicle approved for ZP tires, equipped
with a properly operating low tire pressure warning system, you are
covered by this warranty. Please pay close attention to the Owner’s
Manual part of this booklet since it provides specific safety and
maintenance information for your ZP tires.
Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires are part of a very
so
phisticated system which is designed to provide a very simple
benefit: Peace of Mind. With these tires, you can maneuver the vehicle
up to 50 miles (80 kilometers) at 55 mph (90 km/h), unless otherwise
sp

ecified in your vehicle owner’s manual, even though the tire has lost
all air! That means time to exit from the highway and get to a place
where the tire can be inspected, replaced, or possibly returned to

MICHELIN®
156
service. The distance that can safely be traveled following an air loss
incident will depend upon the conditions under which the vehicle is
operating, the degree of air loss, the extent of the damage causing the
air loss, the ambient temperature, the load, and the operating speed of
the vehicle. The fewer miles you travel after an air loss incident, the
greater the likelihood that the tire can be re-inflated (or, if punctured,
repaired) and returned to service.
Pax® System
The Michelin® PAX® System is a very sophisticated system that
in
cludes the tire, support ring and gel, pressure sensing device, and
wheel. In the event of a loss of tire air pressure, with this system you
can still carefully maneuver the vehicle at speeds up to 55 mph
(9

0 km/h), for a distance of up to 125 miles (201 km), even though a
ti

re has lost all air! That means time to get off the highway and get to
a place where the tire can be inspected, replaced, or possibly repaired
and returned to service. That is peace of mind!

TIRE DISABLEMENT
SAFETY WARNING
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture,
i m

pact damage, improper inflation, overloading 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 or death and/
or property damage. To reduce the risk of a tire failure, Michelin®
recommends you thoroughly read and follow the recommendations

MICHELIN®
163
in the Michelin® Owner’s Manual, vehicle Owner’s Manual, tire
placard information, and tire sidewall information regarding safety
warnings, proper tire use and maintenance.
CONTROLLABILITY
Controlling a vehicle when a tire failure occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration,
an
d/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire. If
possible, step on the accelerator momentarily to maintain forward
momentum and ensure vehicle control. It is most important that you
DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.
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 under control, apply the brakes gently; safely
pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Inspect the tires. If one
or more looks flat or low, shows detachment or other damage, remove
tire assembly and replace it with a properly inflated spare. Bumps or
bulges may indicate detachment within the tire body and require
inspection by a qualified tire technician.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
I N

FLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in
su
dden tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment,
refer to the tire decal on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle
Owner’s Manual for decal location) for the recommended operating
pressures. For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be
provided by your tire retailer; if not, refer to the vehicle decal.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum.
Ho
wever, do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on
the tire sidewall.
SELF-SUPPORTING TIRES. ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES, AND
PA
X® SYSTEM TIRES, AT LOW OR ZERO AIR PRESSURE
The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated PAX® System
ti
re or Self- Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire (whether front or rear)
are not the same as those of a vehicle with normally inflated tires.
Avoid high speeds and hard cornering whenever a low pressure
warning is activated.

MICHELIN®
164
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
