checked immediately. Tires which have been run 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 recom-
mended 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 mixing, 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 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 Rubber Manufactures Association (RMA) 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 recom-
mended or winter driving.While All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable
performance in some winter conditions, the use of four
(4) winter tires is recommended for optimal performance.
Tires designate for use in severe winter conditions are
marked on at leas 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 recom-
mends 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.
MICHELIN

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” in diameter, not more than one 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 Rubber Manufacturers Asso-
ciation (RMA) 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 repair. Any tire
repair done without removing the tire from the rim is improper. An
improperly repaired tire will cause further damage to the tire by either
leaking air or allowing air, moisture and contaminants to enter the
structure of the tire. An improperly repaired tire can fail suddenly at a
later date.
Never repair a tire with less than 2/32 nds of an inch tread remaining. At
this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
MICHELIN
179

After the 100% replacement term expires and the tire is still within 72
months from date of manufacture, the amount of credit will be deter-
mined 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
warranty 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 percent-
age 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 3
or more tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted.
• Road hazard damage such as cuts, snags, punctures or tire repair,
bruises, impact breaks, etc. (Check Road Hazard Replacement Pro-
gram for patterns that are covered against this type of damage).
• Premature or irregular wear due to vehicle mechanical deficiencies or
failure to rotate the tires at recommended intervals.
• Tires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the
United States.
• Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incorrect
application, water or other material trapped inside the tire during
mounting or failure to balance the tires.
• Damage from over or under inflation, overloading, fire, theft, and
defective vehicle mechanical conditions.
• Racing, off road use and misapplications of tire to vehicle.

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 road 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 2/32” 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 TIRES

•Tires improperly repaired or with repairs not conforming to Tire and
Rubber Association of Canada standards, or with section repairs, or
with a self-vulcanizing plug only or patch only.
• Tires which have been recapped, or retreaded, or regrooved.
• Tires used in racing or other competitive events.
• Tires removed in multiples when only one tire can be claimed, or is
suspect of a claim.
• Ride related anomalies after the first 2/32” of treadwear.
• Tires which become unserviceable because of tire operation in excess of
tire/wheel manufacturers’ specifications and recommendations, in-
cluding spinning.
• Tires which become unserviceable because of a mechanical irregularity
in the vehicle such as misalignment, defective brakes, defective shock
absorbers or struts, or improper rims.
• Tires damaged by fire, chemical corrosion, vandalism, wrecks, chains,
theft, run while flat, under inflated, over inflated or abused during
servicing.
• Tires affected by flat spotting caused by improper transport or storage.
• Tires which became unserviceable because of road hazard injuries (e.g.,
nails, glass, metal objects) or other penetrations or snags, bruises or
impact damage, except for those Run Flat lines/sizes specifically
covered by the Pirelli Road Hazard Policy.
• Tires with weather / ozone cracking which were purchased more than
four years prior to presentation for adjustment. (If no proof of
purchase date is available, the warranty will be four years from the
DOT date).
• Summer tires that developed surface cracks due to use in low ambient
temperatures. These include P Zero Silver, P Zero Trofeo, P Zero Corsa
System, P Zero, P Zero Rosso™, P Zero Nero, Cinturato P1, Cinturato
P7, Scorpion Zero™ and Scorpion Verde.

5. DOT Street Legal Competition Tires
P Zero Trofeo and P Zero Corsa tire lines use special tire construction and
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 tires,
resulting in reduced tread life.
6. Winter Tires
The standard Pirelli tires may be effective in light snow conditions.
However, for winter use, you may wish to install winter tires. During
winter use, Pirelli strongly recommends the fitment of 4 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 safety
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
vehicles 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
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The mounting of tires and installation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) should be carried out by a specialized dealer.
PIRELLI TIRES210

10. Tire Rotation
Pirelli recommends that you follow the tire rotation procedure as defined
in your vehicle owner ’s manual. If there is no procedure, PTI recom-
mends tire rotation every 8,000 to 11,000 kilometers to optimize your tire
wear.
11. Tire Repair
Punctures, nail holes or cuts located in the tread area of Pirelli radial tires
may be repaired if the diameter does not exceed 6 mm. The repair
material used must seal the innerliner and fill the injury to be considered
a permanent repair. Tire and Rubber Association of Canada and industry
approved repair methods include a combination of plug and patch;
chemical or hot vulcanizing patches, and head type plugs, all applied
from inside the tire. A self-vulcanizing plug repair may be used only in
conjunction with a patch repair, but not by itself. Plugs may cause further
damage to the tire, they are not always airtight and the plug may fail. If
a tire puncture exceeds 6 mm or is located in the shoulder or sidewall
deflection areas, the tire must be replaced. Never resort to tubes (in
tubeless tires) or sleeves or large thick patches, which can upset the
balance and may result in a sudden failure at highway speeds and high
operating temperatures.
WARNING!
Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous, as the tire can
suddenly fail, which can lead to an accident and serious personal
injury or death.
PIRELLI TIRE DOES NOT ENDORSE:
• The use of tire sealants in Pirelli tires to repair, even temporarily, a
puncture;
• The repairing of V, W, Y or Z Speed Rated tires;
• The repairing of Run Flat tires.

TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing 1 psi per month over several months along
with a 1 psi decrease for every 10°F temperature drop could add up to a
severe “run low” condition; consequently, it is important to check your
tires’ inflation pressure at least once per month. Inflation pressure enables
a tire to support its load; therefore, proper inflation is critical.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated just by
looking at them.
