12 BRIDGESTONE FIRESTONE 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 recommenda-
tions 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 under-
stand the safety and maintenance recommendations for
tires contained in this booklet.
Limited Mileage Warranty:
MICHELIN passenger and light truck tires – replace-
ment and original equipment – are covered by a limited
mileage warranty (hereafter referred to as limited war-
ranty for treadwear) . For the mileage warranty associ-
ated with each tire line, please see your Michelin tire
retailer – or visit us at www.michelinman.com/promise.
Certain conditions and limitations apply. Mileage war-
ranties vary by tire line and certain exclusions may
apply.
SELF-SUPPORTING TIRES
Zero Pressure (ZP)
As the purchaser of a MICHELIN® Self-Supporting
Zero Pressure (ZP) passenger tire, mounted on a ve-
hicle 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 which is de-signed 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 kph) , unless
otherwise 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 travelled follow-
ing 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!
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
MICHELIN® Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in
normal service on the vehicle on which they were origi-nally 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 6 years from the date of
purchase, whichever occurs first. At that time, all war-
ranties, express or implied, expire. The usable tread is
the original tread down to the level of the tread wear
indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread
remaining. 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 the
date of manufacture.
Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms
and conditions described under “How Replacement
Charges are Calculated”.
Note: your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional
tire warranty coverage over and above what is provided
by Michelin. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for
further information.
NOTE: Some MICHELIN® Self-Supporting Zero Pres-
sure (ZP) tires can only be mounted on special SH-M
(Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels. These tires bear
the special SH-M designation, molded into the sidewall
of the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT
A TIRE 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 UNSERVICEABLE AT
LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN SERI-
OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Treadwear – Mileage Warranty Coverage for MI-
CHELIN® Passenger and Light Truck Tires
MICHELIN® passenger and light truck tires are cov-
ered by a manufacturer’s limited warranty for treadwear.
For the mileage warranty associated with a specific tire
line, please see your Michelin tire retailer or visit us at
www.michelinman.com/promise. 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 rotated as recom-
mended 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.
DOT-approved competition tires (e.g., MICHELIN® Pi-
lot® 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 no later
than April 30th of the following year. MICHELIN winter
tires require documentation of the timing of the installa-
tion 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 num-
ber of miles from a given tire. Driving 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 6 years from the date of purchase or until
the first 2/32nds 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 warranties, express or
implied, expire.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:Road 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, un-
derinflation, overinflation or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechani-
cal irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalign-
ment (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds 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 treadwear; by
this warranty for 6 years;
Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake-
lock;
The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials
other than air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (e.g. wa-
terbase sealers or balancing substances) .
Cosmetic ozone or weather cracking;
Use of MICHELIN Self-Supporting Zero Pressure
(AP) tires without a properly operating low air pres-
sure 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 materials limited war-
ranty will be replaced with a comparable new MI-
CHELIN® tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or
less, whichever is more beneficial to the user) and within
12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting and
balancing of the tire is included.
You pay the cost of any other service charges and
applicable taxes.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of original
tread has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is
more beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from the
date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a compa-
rable new MICHELIN® passenger or light truck re-
placement tire on a pro rata basis. The retailer will
determine the charge by multiplying the percentage of
the original usable tread worn, by the current selling
price at the adjustment location or the price in the
current MICHELIN® Base Price List, whichever is
lower. This list is based on a predetermined price in-
tended to fairly represent the actual selling price of the
tire.

You pay the cost of mounting, balancing and any
other service charges and applicable taxes.
Treadwear
A tire meeting the conditions forpro ratareplacement,
which wears evenly across the tread, down to the tread
wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch tread remaining)
within 6 years of the date of purchase, and before
delivering the warranted miles of service, will be re-
placed with a comparable new MICHELIN® tire based
on mileage received. The participating MICHELIN® tire
retailer will determine the charge by multiplying the
percent of mileage received by the current actual selling
price at the adjustment location or the price of the tire in
the current Michelin Base Price List, whichever is lower.
This list is based on a predetermined price intended to
fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire.Yo u
pay the cost of mounting, balancing and any
other dealer services and applicable taxes.
Tires which wear out evenly before delivering the war-
ranted mileage will be replaced on a pro ratabasis only if:
1You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own
