Temporary Spares
MICHELIN® temporary spare tires are covered by this warranty for 6
years from the date of purchase or until the first 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6
mm) of the original tread is worn off. Date 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

puncture);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper
repair;
• Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, overin-
flation or other abuse;
• Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in
the vehicle such as wheel misalignment, (a measured tread difference
of 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire);
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
• Use in commercial applications for tread wear; by this warranty for 6

12. Storage
Should you need to store tires after removal from a vehicle (as in the case
of winter tires), they should be stored in a cool, dry place. To protect your
tires from damage related to: heat, water, ozone and direct sunlight, it is
suggested you place them in opaque, waterproof containers (e.g., plastic
trash bags).
13. Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in Pirelli tires marked
“Tubeless”. This includes tires that have been repaired. If the tire’s
pressure retention ability has been affected, so as to necessitate a tube
being installed, the tire must be replaced.
14. Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels, new tire valves of the
correct type must be installed. During your routine tire inspection, verify
that all your valves have proper valve caps. Replace as necessary, since
the valve cap is also a seal against pressure loss.
15. Tire Demounting and Mounting
Tire fitting is best left to professionals who have the proper tools and
equipment to perform the task properly and safely. Your tires should be
mounted or demounted, using Tire and Rubber Association of Canada
procedures or the vehicle manufacturers’ recommendations. Your wheels
should be in good, clean condition. Wheels should be inspected for
distortion, dents, cracks, rust and foreign matter, and be replaced as
necessary. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI WHEN SEATING BEADS.
