IV. 30-DAY SATISFACTION GUARANTEED TRIAL WARRANTY
Kumho Tire’s 30-Day Satisfaction Guaranteed Trial Warranty covers a
complete set of four (4) Road Venture AT51 and Solus TA71 tires. If for
whatever reason you aren’t completely satisfied with your eligible tires,
simply return them to the dealer where they were purchased for
replacement.
Limitations and Requirements
•This trial warranty only applies to the original purchaser of a set of
four eligible (4) tires returned within 30 days from the date of purchase
and is non-transferable; any return of less than a full set of tires will not
be accepted. Original purchaser must present their original sales
receipt/invoice to their selling dealer at the time of replacement.
• Tires must be returned undamaged. Tires exhibiting road hazard,
mounting damage, vehicle mechanical-related problems, repairs, im-
proper inflation, vandalism, run flat, racing or any tires removed from
the original vehicle are excluded from this trial warranty.
• Original purchaser pays the amounts due on a new replacement tire,
less the amount of credit, including applicable taxes, mounting and
balancing charges and/or the cost of other services ordered.
• Tires measuring more than 1/32 of tread wear from original tread
depth are excluded from trial warranty.
NEW ON REAR/ROTATION RECOMMENDATION
1. Replacement of two tires: Kumho Tire recommends replacing all four tires at the same time. However, when only two tires are replaced, the
new tires should be put on the rear. The newer tires, with deeper tread,
may provide better grip and water evacuation in wet driving condi-
tions.
2. Tire Rotations: Owners must continue to rotate tires in accordance to their vehicle owner ’s manual or every 5,000 miles. Side-to-side rota-
tion on new on rear; two-tire replacements fitments will be accept-
able.
KUMHO TIRES

WARNING!(Continued)
•Tires should always be stored in a cool. dry, clean, indoor environ-
ment. Tires contain waxes and emollients to protect their outer
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,
gasoline, and other substances that could deteriorate the rubber.
• You should have a qualified technician check all tires where the
Kumho 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
based 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
sudden tire failure leading to property damage, serious personal
injury or death.

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 service. The distance that
can safely be travelled 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
includes 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 miles per hour, for
a distance of up to 125 miles, even though a tire 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’s peace of mind!
MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED
WARRANTY
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG

TIRE DISABLEMENT
SAFETY WARNING
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, impact
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 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.
MICHELIN166

CONTROLLABILITY
Controlling a vehicle when a tire failure occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, and/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
INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden
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 replace-
ment 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. However,
do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire
sidewall.
SELF-SUPPORTING TIRES. ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES, AND PAX
SYSTEM TIRES, AT LOW OR ZERO AIR PRESSURE
The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated PAX System tire
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 acti-
vated.
