MICHELIN®
Original Equipment Passenger & Light Truck Tire Owner’s Manual & Limited Warranty
MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a Michelin® passenger or light truck tire, you 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 equipment – are
cov

ered 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 https://www.michelinman.com/home .
Certain conditions and limitations apply. Mileage warranties vary by tire line and certain
ex c

lusions may apply.
Self-Supporting Tires
Zero Pressure (ZP)
As the purchaser of a Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) passenger tire,
mou

nted 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 sophisticated system
whi
ch 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
ot h

erwise specified 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 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 includes the tire,
su p

port 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 (90 km/h), for a distance of up to 125 miles (201 km), even though a tire has

MICHELIN®

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!
MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires Michelin® Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in
no

rmal service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted and in accordance with
the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the attached
owner’s manual, are covered by this warranty against defects in workmanship and
materials for the life of the original usable tread, or six years from the date of purchase,
whichever occurs first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire. The usable
tread is the original tread down to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32 of an inch
(1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new vehicle
re

gistration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is available, coverage will be
based on the date of manufacture.
Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions described under
“ H

ow Replacement Charges are Calculated”.
NOTE:
Your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional tire warranty coverage over and above
w h

at is provided by Michelin®. Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for further informa -
tion.
NOTE:
Some Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires can only be mounted on special
S H

-M (Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels. These tires bear the special SH-M designa -
tion, molded into the sidewall of the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT A
T I

RE WITH THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON THE SIDEWALL ON A STANDARD WHEEL. DOING
SO VOIDS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO BECOME UNSER -
VICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
D E

ATH.
Treadwear – Mileage Warranty Coverage for Michelin® Passenger and Light Truck Tires
Michelin® passenger and light truck tires are covered by a manufacturer’s limited
w a

rranty for treadwear. For the mileage warranty associated with a specific tire line,
please see your Michelin® tire retailer or visit us at https://www.michelinman.com/
home . Some vehicles come from the vehicle manufacturer with “split fitments” –
meaning different size tires on the front and rear axles. Because these tires cannot be
r o

tated as recommended by Michelin®, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover
half the number of miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire design.
Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires have the same mileage warranty as
the standard tire line of which they are a part, up to but not exceeding 30,000 miles.
D O

T-approved competition tires (e.g., Michelin® Pilot® Sport Cup tires) are excluded
from any mileage warranty. Michelin® Winter tires must be used during winter months
only, defined as a period beginning on or after September 1st of a given year and ending

MICHELIN®
121
no later than April 30th of the following year. Michelin® winter tires require
documentation of the timing of the installation and removal of the tires each winter to
maintain coverage under the limited warranty for treadwear.
An important reminder:
No tire manufacturer can guarantee you a certain number of miles from a given tire.
D r

iving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and vehicle maintenance all play a
part in the tread life of a tire. If a tire does not reach the warranted mileage, and the
owner of the tires has complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty, Michelin®
will replace the tires as described under “How Replacement Charges are calculated”.
Temporary Spares
Michelin® temporary spare tires are covered by this warranty for six years from the date
o f

purchase or until the first 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) of the original tread is worn off.
D a

te of purchase is documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no
proof of purchase is available, coverage will be based on date of manufacture. At that
time, all warranties, express or implied, expire.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
• R oad hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or puncture)
•
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair
•
Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, overinflation or other
a
buse
• U neven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as
w
heel misalignment, (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) or
m o

re across the tread on the same tire)
• A ccident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism
•
Use in commercial applications for tread wear; by this warranty for six years
•
Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake lock
•
The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen or carbon
d
ioxide (for example, waterbase sealers or balancing substances)
• C osmetic ozone or weather cracking
•
Use of Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires without a properly operating
l
ow air pressure warning system
HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this workmanship and
ma

terials limited warranty will be replaced with a comparable new Michelin® tire, free of
charge, when 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25%
o r

less, whichever is more beneficial to the user) and within 12 months of the date of
p u

rchase. Mounting and balancing of the tire is included. You pay the cost of any other

The maximum speed of a vehicle is limited by the lowest-speed- rated tire on the car.
PROPER SELECTION OF TIRES
When tires need to be replaced, do not guess what tire is right for your vehicle. First look
at the vehicle Owner’s Manual or the Tire Information Placard. They tell you the size of
the tires that were on the vehicle as original equipment.
Replacement tires for any vehicle must be of a size, load range, and load capacity (by
in

flation) that is capable of supporting the same load as the vehicle’s Original Equipment
(OE) installed tires. Avoid installing used tires on a vehicle. There is no way to determine
what road hazards or abuse a previously owned tire may have incurred.
The following procedures concerning replacement tires must be followed:
• C onfirm that the load-carrying capacity is greater than or equal to the loadcarying
c
apacity of the OE tire size at the pressure indicated on the vehicle Tire Information
Placard.
• C arefully note any differences between recommendations for front and rear axle posi -
t
ions regarding the tire size and/or inflation pressure.
• T he speed rating must be equal to or greater than what is specified by the vehicle
m
anufacturer if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.
• T ires should be mounted on approved wheel widths. If changing tire sizes, check to
m
ake sure the wheel has adequate load and inflation pressure capacity.
• B ody and chassis clearance must be checked on the vehicle’s front and rear axles.
CAUTION!
A tire’s speed rating is void if the tire has been retreaded, damaged, abused, or
otherwise altered from its original condition. Thereafter, it should be treated as a
non-speed-rated tire. In addition, retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not
warranted by Toyo Tires® for any reason. Toyo Tires® speed ratings are voided for
retreaded tires.
WARNING!


• Failure to install tires with adequate load capacity will result in tire fatigue and
sudden tire failure. This could lead to loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in
personal injury or death.
• C ertain vehicle performance parameters, including ride comfort and handling, may
b
e affected by substitute tire sizes. In some cases, particularly for SUVs and light
trucks, a failure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for tire
replacement could adversely affect the safe handling of the vehicle, possibly
resulting in a loss of vehicle control leading to personal injury or death.

TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY

(Continued)
In addition to the above, light truck tire replacements should take into consideration the
following:
• P roper spacing between dual tires is necessary for optimum tire performance. If
c
hains are used, particular care must be taken to assure adequate clearance between
loaded tires to avoid damage from the chains. The allowable outside diameter differ -
ence between a tire and its dual mate is 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) for light truck tires.
CONSIDERATIONS IN PLUS SIZING
Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s replacement tire
r e

commendations. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise
against the application of replacement tires that are not of the original size or type.
TIRE AND WHEEL MATCHING AND MOUNTING
WARNING!


Any attempt to mount a tire on a wheel with a different diameter will result in an
explosion of the tire/wheel assembly that could cause severe personal injury or death.
Prior to mounting any tire, always check the wheel identification stamp to verify the
c o

rrect wheel diameter. Always check the tire size molded onto the sidewall.
Never exceed 40 psi when seating the tire beads onto the wheel.
Always stand well clear of any tire mounting operation. This is especially important
wh
en the service operator inflates the tire. If the tire has been improperly mounted, it
could burst with explosive force causing serious personal injury or death.
A new valve stem must be installed on the wheel each time a worn out passenger or
l i

ght truck tire is replaced.
Removing and replacing tires on wheels can be dangerous.
Attempting to mount tires with improper tools or procedures could result in a tire
ex
plosion, causing serious personal injury or death. This is a job for your authorized
Toyo Tires® dealer or other qualified tire service location only.
Serious personal injury or death can result from:
• F ailure to select the proper tire and wheel. The tire must match the width and diam -
e
ter requirements of the wheel. When mounting truck type radial tires use only
w h

eels approved for radial tires.
• F ailure to inspect both the tire and wheel. The wheel must be free of cracks, dents,
c
hips, and rust. The tire must be free of bead damage, cuts, and punctures.
• F ailure to follow proper procedures. For proper mounting procedures, consult the US
T
ire Manufacturers Association’s publication “Care and Service of Automobile and
Light Truck Tires” (ref.: https://www.ustires.org).

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) VEHICLES
If no instructions for tire mixing appear in the vehicle Owner’s Manual, follow these
guidelines:
• D o not mix tire sizes. All four tires must be marked with the same tire size, unless
o
therwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This also applies to winter/snow
tires.
• D o not mix tread pattern types such as all-terrain and all- season.
STUDLESS WINTER/SNOW TIRES
• It is always preferable to apply winter/snow tires to all wheel positions, including dual
tires, to maintain vehicle mobility and control.
• I f winter/snow tires are applied to the f
ront axle of any vehicle, winter/snow tires must
also be installed on the
rear axle. DO NOT apply winter/snow tires only to the front
axle. This applies to all passenger and light truck vehicles, including front-wheel- drive,
4WD, and AWD vehicles.
• If winter/snow tires are installed on the rear axle of any vehicle, it is recommended
(but not required) that they also be installed on the
front axle.
STUDDED WINTER/SNOW TIRES
• Studded winter/snow tires have higher traction qualities under most winter weather conditions.
• I f studded winter/snow tires are installed on the f
ront axle of any vehicle, studded
winter/snow tires must also be installed on the
rear axle. DO NOT apply studded
winter/snow tires only to the front axle.
• If studded winter/snow tires are installed on the rear axle of any vehicle, it is strongly
recommended that they should also be installed on the
front axle. Only if studded
winter/snow tires are installed on all wheel positions of a vehicle will optimum
handling characteristics be achieved.
WARNING!


Unless winter/snow tires on the rear axle have comparable traction qualities to the
tires on the front axle, the vehicle may experience adverse handling characteristics.
This may result in loss of vehicle control, which can lead to serious personal injury or
death.
WARNING!
Installing only two studded winter/snow tires on the front axle of any vehicle (including
front-wheel-drive vehicles) without studded winter/snow tires on the rear axle can
cause adverse vehicle handling characteristics. This can result in a loss of vehicle
control, which could cause serious personal injury or death.

TIRE WEAR – VISUAL CHECK
If you experience a blowout or a sudden tire failure, the following information should be
helpful:
• W hen the tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, or feel a vibration, and/or the
v
ehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire. Do not abruptly brake or turn.
• M aintain steady pressure on the accelerator pedal.
•
Hold the steering wheel firmly and steer to maintain your lane position.
•
Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to gradually decelerate.
A
pply light braking as required to stop safely.
WARNING!


Beware of Sudden Tire Vibration. A tire failure may lead to loss of vehicle control,
which could cause serious personal injury or death. Many tire failures are preceded by
vibration, bumps, bulges, or irregular wear. If while driving your vehicle you experience
any unusual vibration, pull, ride disturbance, or noise and/or you suspect possible
vehicle or tire damage, do not continue to drive. Pull over to a safe area as soon as
possible and inspect the tires for signs of bulges, blisters, or separations. Seek
roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your spare tire.

4. Remove these tires from the vehicle and deflate to half the normal air-pressure during prolonged periods of non-use or storage.
Always inspect tires for signs of cracking and never use tires that have cracked.
SPECIAL ADVICE FOR LIGHT TRUCKS
Never exceed the speed limit as indicated by the speed symbol on the tire’s sidewall. See
the chart and explanation of speed ratings in this manual.
If you do not know the speed rating of your Toyo brand tire, contact your Toyo Tires®
d e

aler or Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. for current information.
TIRES DESIGNATED AS “LT” WITH NO SPEED RATING INDICATED ON THE SIDEWALL

It is not recommended that any light truck be operated at speeds in excess of legal limits.
However, if it is anticipated that sustained driving at speeds in excess of 65 mph may be
r e

quired, then the following adjustments or recommendations should be followed:
• A t speeds from 66 m
ph through 75 mph, cold inflation pressure must be increased
10 psi above the recommended pressures for the load being carried.
• D o not exceed the maximum inflation pressure of the wheel (all wheels have
m
aximum allowable inflation pressures).
WARNING!


Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be visible and could lead
to serious personal injury or death.

REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR LIGHT TRUCKS – P-METRIC VS . LT-TRUCK
Tire installers should exercise extreme caution when replacing tires on light trucks.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewall of a P-metric tire is reduced by a
fa

ctor of 1.1 when used on a light truck, a sport utility vehicle, or a trailer.
When a P-metric or metric tire is installed on a light truck (SUV, pickup, minivan), the load
r a

ting is reduced by dividing by 1.1. (This load reduction factor is prescribed by Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and is based on the expectation that
passenger-type tires may experience more severe loading and usage conditions when
applied to light trucks.) For example, 305/50R20 has a maximum load capacity of
3,086 lb. If this tire is fitted to a light truck, the actual allowable load for the tire is
2,805 lb (3,086 lb divided by 1.1).
Consult the load and inflation charts that can be found at www.toyotires.com. Contact
Toyo Tires® Technical Service with any tire replacement questions: 1 -
800-442-8696
(Pacific Time) or 1-888-444-8696 (Eastern Time).
WARNING!


• P-metric and LT-metric tires are not necessarily interchangeable. P-metric and LT-metric tires follow completely different Load/ Inflation tables and are designed to
carry different loads at different pressures.
• LT -metric tires carry their load at higher inflation pressures and do not always have
a
dequate load capacity to replace P-metric tires of the same size.
• A fter reducing a P-metric tire’s load rating by dividing by 1.1 for fitment on a Light
T
ruck, the P-metric tire may not offer sufficient load capacity to replace an LT-metric
tire of the same size.
• C ontact your Toyo Tires® dealer or Toyo Tires® Technical Service for help deter -
m
ining how to choose a proper replacement size.
• D riving with underinflated or overloaded tires may result in immediate tire failure,
w
hich can cause an accident and could lead to serious personal injury or death.

VEHICLES WITH MODIFIED SUSPENSION
USEFUL TIRE INFORMATION
There is a lot of useful information molded into the sidewall of a tire. It shows the name
of the tire, its size, if it is tubeless or tube type, the maximum load and maximum
inflation, and important safety warnings. The sidewall markings on passenger and light
truck tires are slightly different.
TYPICAL PASSENGER TIRE
WARNING!


Large-diameter tires and modified suspensions that increase ground
clearance will alter vehicle handling.
• The vehicle may become more likely to roll over.
•
Braking distances may increase.
•
Slower speeds may be required to maintain control.
D
rive with extreme caution until you become familiar with how your vehicle handles.
