INSPECT YOUR TIRES, DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL
HAZARDS
Objects in the road, such as potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood, debris and similar items,
ca

n damage a tire and should be safely avoided. Unavoidable contact with such objects
should prompt a thorough tire inspection.
Anytime you see any damage to your tires or wheels, replace with the spare at once and
i m

mediately visit any Michelin® tire retailer. For PAX® System Tires see an authorized
PAX® System tire retailer.
IMPACT DAMAGE
A tire impacted by a road hazard (curb, pothole, debris) may be damaged but not have
v i

sible signs of damage on its surface. A tire damaged by an impact may sustain a
sudden failure a day, week, or even months later. You may not recall hitting an object that
damaged or injured your tires. Air loss, unusual tire wear, localized wear or vibrations can
also be signs of internal tire damage.
If you suspect any damage to your tire or wheel from an impact with a curb, pothole or
de
bris on the road or any other road hazard, or if you feel or hear any unusual vibration,
replace with a properly inflated spare at once and immediately visit any qualified tire
technician.
INSPECTION
When inspecting your tires, including the spare, check the air pressures. If the pressure
c h

eck indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of two pounds or more, look for
signs of penetration, valve leakage or wheel damage that may account for the air loss.
Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations, and abnormal tire wear, particularly
o n

the edges of the tire tread, which may be caused by misalignment or underinflation.
If any such damage is found, the tire must be inspected by any Michelin® tire retailer at
once. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire destruction.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as hard cornering,
r a

pid 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 H

misalignment of your vehicle. When driving on such roads, drive carefully and slowly, and
before driving again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for any damage,
such as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual wear patterns, etc.
WEAR-BARS
Michelin® tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the tire tread which show up when
o n

ly 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage, your tires must be
r e

placed. Tires worn beyond this stage are extremely dangerous.
DO NOT OVERLOAD - DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall. Do not exceed this
rating. Follow the loading instructions of FCA US LLC for your vehicle and this will ensure
that your tires are not overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum
allowable loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may result
in sudden tire destruction.
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 any Michelin® tire retailer for advice
c o

ncerning the correct size 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 or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and the owner’s
manual supplied by FCA US LLC for your vehicle for further recommendations on trailer
towing.
MICHELIN® PAX® System Tires/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) Tires and Trailer
T o

wing
Operation of Pax® or ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in tow, is dangerous
a n

d is not recommended. 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 repaired and re-inflated to the proper air pressure. If the tire cannot be
repaired, it must be replaced with a new full size, PAX®/ZP tire, and inflated to the proper
air pressure, before the trailer can be safely towed again.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM
M I

LEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire wearing faster
th
an the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of
alignment or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but
adversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous.
If you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance checked
immediately. Tires which have been ran underinflated will show more wear on the
shoulders than in the center of the tread.

MICHELIN®

TIRE MIXING
Michelin® tires are radial tires and for best performance it is recommended that the
same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel positions. Before mixing tires of
different types in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle
manufacturer’s owner‘s manual for its recommendations.
It is especially important to check the vehicle manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual when
mi

xing, matching, or replacing tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles, as this may require special
precautions.
MICHELIN® DOES NOT RECOMMEND MIXING PAX® SYSTEM TIRES WITH NON-PAX®
T I

RES/SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES WITH NON-ZP TIRES OTHER THAN
THE TEMPORARY USE OF THE SPARE IF THE VEHICLE IS SO EQUIPPED.
WINTER DRIVING
Tires which meet the US Tire Manufacturers Association (USMTA) definition of snow tires
are marked M/S, or M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded into the sidewall.
Tires without this notation are not recommended or Winter driving.
While All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable performance in some
Winter conditions, the use of four Winter tires is recommended for optimal
p e

rformance. Tires designate for use in severe Winter conditions are marked
on at least one sidewall with the letter “M”.
TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT
To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires. Refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual for instructions on tire rotation. If you do not have an owner‘s
manual for your vehicle, Michelin® recommends rotating your tires every 6,000 to
8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km).
Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should be rotated at the first
s i

gn of irregular wear, even if it occurs before 6,000 miles (10,000 km). This is true for
a l

l vehicles.
When rotating tires with a directional tread pattern, observe the arrows molded on the
s i

dewall 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 that a tire has been
m o

ved 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 front and rear
p o

sition 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.

MICHELIN®
133
Full-size Spare
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and construction should be
u s

ed 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. However, when only
t w

o 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 SUVS AND LIGHT
TRUCKS
Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as SUVs 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 been modified, always drive safely, avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes and
obey all traffic laws. Failure to do so may result in loss of vehicle control leading to an
accident and serious injury or death.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made any alterations on your tires. Alterations may prevent
proper performance, leading to tire damage which can result in an accident. Tires which
become unserviceable due to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of
balancing or sealant liquids, or the use of tire dressing containing petroleum distillates
are excluded from warranty coverage.
REPAIRS WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR MICHELIN® TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE
If any MICHELIN® tire sustains a puncture, have the tire demounted and thoroughly
inspected by any MICHELIN® tire retailer for possible damage that may have occurred.
A tread area puncture in any MICHELIN® passenger or light truck tire can be repaired
provided that the puncture hole is not more than 1/4 inch in diameter, not more than
o n

e radial cable per casing ply is damaged, and the tire has not been damaged further
by the puncturing object or by running underinflated. Tire punctures consistent with
these guidelines can be repaired by following the US Tire Manufacturers Association
(USTMA) recommended repair procedures.
TIRE REPAIRS
Repairs of all tires must be of the combined plug and inside patch type. Your MICHELIN®
PAX® System tires must be removed from the wheel for inspection prior to repair. Plug
only repairs are improper. A tire should be removed from the rim and inspected prior to

TEMPORARY TYPE SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
in

structions.
READING THE DOT
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (prior to August 2000)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (1990-1999)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXXX (after July 2000)
THE DOT
The “DOT” symbol certifies tire manufacturer’s compliance with US Department of
Transportation tire safety standards. Next to the symbol is the tire identification or “serial
number”. The first two characters identify the plant where the tire was manufactured.
The next two characters reflect the tire size. The following one to four digits may be used
at the tire manufacturer’s option as a descriptive code. The last three characters are
numbers identifying the week and year of manufacture. (Example: “O25” means second
week of the year of decade, eg.: 1995, 1985, etc.) For the 1990-1999 decade
MICHELIN® brand tires are marked with a triangle pointing to the last three numeric
characters. Tires produced after July 2000 have an additional digit to identify a given
decade. For example, 2800 means the tire was produced during the 28th week of 2000;
0 2

01 during the 2nd week of 2001. If the last digits of your DOT number contains three
numeric characters and is not marked with a triangle, consult a qualified tire technician
to determine the year of manufacture.
SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES INCLUDING SPARE
TIRES
The following recommendation applies to passenger car and light truck tires. Tires are
composed of various types of material and rubber compounds, having performance
properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire itself. These component
properties evolve over time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors
such as weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation
pressure, maintenance etc.) to which the tire is subjected throughout its life. This
service-related evolution varies widely so that accurately predicting the serviceable life
of any specific tire in advance is not possible.
That is why, in addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance by
c o

nsumers, it is recommended to have passenger car and light truck tires, including
spare tires, inspected regularly by a qualified tire specialist, such as a tire dealer, who
will assess the tire’s suitability for continued service. Tires which have been in use for five
years or more should continue to be inspected by a specialist at least annually.
Consumers are strongly encouraged to be aware not only of their tires’ visual condition
and inflation pressure but also of any change in dynamic performance such as increased
air loss, noise or vibration, which could be an indication that the tires need to be removed
from service to prevent tire failure. It is impossible to predict when tires should be

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To reduce the risk of tire
failure we recommend the following:
• M aintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at underinflation or overinflation.
P
ressure should be set at the level recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
• W heel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
•
Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on the sidewall of the
t
ire.
• D o not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs, potholes, obstacles
a
nd edges of pavement.
• N ever drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced when 2/32 of an
i
nch of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear indicator molded in the tread
grooves.
• C heck your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects, separations or
b
ulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount a tire yourself. Change
damaged tire with the spare and contact a local authorized Nexen Tire dealer imme -
diately.
• D o not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum speed justified
b
y driving conditions.
• T o achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire rotation at regular
i
ntervals is required.

Road Hazard Policy For Run Flat Tires Only
Pirelli Run Flat tires are manufactured with technology that allows limited low-inflation
operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure. Pirelli does not recommend the repair
of run flat tires and as a result, Pirelli provides road hazard coverage on all Pirelli
produced tires that are manufactured with run flat technology. To qualify for Run Flat
Road Hazard coverage, a completed claim form along with the tire exhibiting the road
hazard must be returned to Pirelli through an authorized Pirelli dealer.
If a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or materials anomalies or
ro

ad hazard injury during the initial warranty period, which is one year from the date of
original retail purchase of the vehicle or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt
required) or within the first 2/32of an inch of the original usable tread, whichever occurs
first, the tire will be replaced with the same or comparable tire at no charge for the tire
to the owner. After the initial warranty period, if a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable
due to workmanship or materials anomalies or road hazard injury, the owner must pay
the cost of a comparable new Pirelli brand or PTI private brand replacement tire on a
pro-rata basis. The authorized Pirelli dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current dealer selling price. The
owner must pay for any associated service charges, including costs associated with
mounting and balancing of the tire. This Road Hazard Policy is not a warranty. PTI does
not warranty that a Pirelli tire will not fail due to road hazard and does not authorize any
person, including authorized Pirelli dealers, to make such a warranty.
Pirelli “Seal Inside” Technology
Select Pirelli tires incorporate “Seal Inside” technology, a construction designed to stop
the loss of air from a tire when punctured by an object. Providing the puncture does not
compromise the structural integrity of the tire, a sealing material layer prevents possible
air leakage in the event of a carcass puncture.
The “Seal Inside” technology is not designed or intended to be a permanent repair, and
i s

only meant to allow the consumer to go to a Pirelli dealer for an inspection to determine
if repair or replacement is needed.
Visit www.ca.pirelli.com for more information.
What Is Not Covered By The Warranty?
• Tires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the United States of
America or Canada.
• T ires transferred from the vehicle on which they were originally installed.

Mileage Warranty Conditions and Mileage Warranty sections found in this document.
3. Pressure Recommendations
Recommended tire inflation pressures for your vehicle can be found either on your
vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner’s manual. Correct pressures are related to
load, speed and vehicle handling and are vital for even braking, maximum traction and
good tire life. Under no circumstances should your tire’s cold inflation pressure be less
than that indicated on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner’s manual or
higher than the maximum cold inflation pressure molded on to the tire’s sidewall.
Underinflation causes excessive flexing, deterioration of the tire and rapid wear of the
tread edges. Overinflation results in an uncomfortable ride, a reduced area of tire contact
with the road surface (i.e., smaller tire footprint), higher susceptibility to impact damage
and rapid wear on the tread center.
Inflation pressure must be checked at least once a month and should be checked only
w h

en the tire is cold or before it has been driven. Driving even a short distance
(1 kilometer or 2 to 3 minutes) causes tires to heat up and the air pressure to increase
a p

proximately 4 psi. In case it is necessary to adjust the air pressure in tires that have
been driven, the air pressure should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi higher than
the recommended cold inflation pressure.
For Example Only:
WARNING!


Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous. These situations can
cause a tire failure, including tread/belt separation, even at a later date, which could
lead to an accident and serious personal injury or death.
Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 27 PSI
Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure: 26 PSI
Desired Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 26 PSI + 4 PSI = 30 PSI
Therefore: Add 3 PSI
