IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Brochure applies
on
ly to the Original Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle. In
order for Goodyear® Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Technology
[EMT], RunOnFlat [ROF]) or Dunlop® Run-Flat (Dunlop Self-
Supporting Technology [DSST]) tires to obtain the performance
criteria stated within this Limited Warranty, Goodyear® or Dunlop®
Run-Flat tires must use specific parts, such as a low tire pressure
monitoring system authorized by the Original Equipment vehicle
manufacturer.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:
The Goodyear® or Dunlop® Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire
w i
th a remarkable feature: It can operate for limited distances with
very low or even no inflation pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner’s
Manual for these limitations). This is an important benefit, especially
if inflation loss occurs at a location where immediately stopping your
vehicle could be hazardous. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM ALERT Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more
information on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
WARNING!
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an alert, follow
th
ese safety precautions to prevent a loss of vehicle control that
could result in serious personal injury or death:
• Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50
mph (80 kph).
• Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe handling maneu -
v
ers.
• Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
R
emember that when your tires have lost air pressure, your
ve
hicle’s handling capability is reduced, particularly during
severe maneuvers.

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

For Example Only:
• Gauge reading of hot tire:.............................................. 32 psi (220 kPa)
•
If recommended cold inflation pressure is: ................ 30 psi (205 kPa)
•
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4 psi =... 34 psi (205 + 30 = 235 kPa)
•
Therefore: add 2 psi.................................................................... (15 kPa)

heck cold pressure as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours.
“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

tire that has lost traction to spin beyond its speed capability. This is
also true when balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle
using the vehicle engine to spin the tire/wheel assembly.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. H
owever, at high
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for
example is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid
accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If you see any damage
to a tire or wheel, replace it with the spare at once and visit a
participating Michelin® tire retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each
ty
pe of Michelin® tire will cause the tire to build up excessive heat
which can cause tire damage that could result in sudden tire
destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle when one or
more tires experience a sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated
by
the legal limits and driving conditions.
SPEED RATINGS
Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some Michelin® tires.
Th
e following table shows the maximum speed corresponding to the
symbol.
*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than
14
9 mph (240 km/h). Consult your participating Michelin® tire
re
tailer for maximum speed rating if your vehicle capability exceeds
this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to use on cars with maximum
sp
eed capabilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h).
(W and Y speed ratings are subcategories of Z).
Consult your Michelin® tire retailer for maximum speed capabilities.
Fo
r PAX® System Tires consult an authorized PAX® System Tire
Retailer. Although a tire may be speed-rated, we do not endorse the
operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed
ratings are based on laboratory tests which relate to performance on
the road, but are not applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded,
worn out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired or retreaded.

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.
TIRE MIXING
Michelin® tires are radial tires and for best performance it is
re
commended 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
Ma
nual when mixing, matching, or replacing tires on 4-wheel drive
vehicles, as this may require special precautions.
MICHELIN® DOES NOT RECOMMEND MIXING PAX® SYSTEM
TI
RES WITH NON-PAX TIRES/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)
de
finition 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
Wi
nter tires is recommended for optimal performance.
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.
Re
fer 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 sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before
6,000 miles (10,000 km). This is true for all vehicles.

After the 100% replacement term expires and the tire is still within
72 months from date of manufacture, the amount of credit will be
de
termined by the percentage of original tread depth remaining on
the tire. Under all circumstances, the cost of mounting, balancing and
any other service charges including applicable taxes are required to be
paid by the consumer.
MILEAGE TREAD WEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Most patterns manufactured by NEXEN TIRE are assigned a mileage
wa
rranty that protects the consumer against premature tread wear.
If a tire reaches the end of its “usable tread life” before the stated
mileage warranty, the consumer will be issued a replacement Nexen
tire on a pro rata basis, which means the consumer will be
responsible for a percentage of the replacement cost. In order to
maintain tread wear warranty, all tires must be rotated at least every
5,000-6,000 miles (8,000-10,000 km). Under all circumstances, the cost
of
mounting, balancing and any other service charges including
applicable taxes are required to be paid by the consumer.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
• Ride complaints after the first 2/32" of tread wear or replacement of
t
hree or more tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted.
• Road hazard damage such as cuts, snags, punctures or tire repair,

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.
