CONSUMER RIGHTS
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights that vary from state to state.
OWNER’S OBLIGATl0N
When making a claim, you must return the tire to be replaced to your
Kenda Tires dealer.
Proper vehicle and tire care is necessary to obtain the expected wear
from a tire. It is your obligation to properly maintain your tires and
the vehicle upon which they are mounted, including: (A) operating
your tires at the inflation pressures recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer, (B) keeping your tire/wheel assemblies in balance. (C)
proper wheel alignment, and (D) rotation. You must check your tire’s air
pressure at least monthly and before long trips.
We recommend that you have your Kenda Tires dealer inspect your
tires any time you notice irregular or uneven tread wear and rotate
them, if necessary. Also, they should be inspected by your dealer any
time your vehicle is brought in for service.
TREADWEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For those qualifying brand tires listed in the product chart (see below),
Kenda Tires will provide prorated credit towards the purchase of a
comparable brand tire.
You will be responsible for the prorated cost of a replacement
tire, and also mounting and balancing costs, taxes and any
other charges.
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows:
(Actual miles driven) ÷ (Amount of warranted miles) X (Actual current
dealer selling price)

must be inspected by any tire dealer at once. Use of a damaged tire
could result in sudden tire destruction.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as
hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads
which are in poor condition, and off road use. Roads with holes and
rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of
your vehicle. When you drive on such roads, drive on them carefully
and slowly, and before driving at normal or highway speeds, examine
your tires for any damage, such as cuts or penetrations.
Worn Out Tires Are Dangerous
Tires contain ‘Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the tire tread which show
up when only 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) tread is remaining. At this
stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage
are dangerous.
Do Not Overload
Driving On Any Overloaded Tire Is Dangerous
The maximum load rating of your tires is marked on the tire sidewall.
Do not exceed these ratings. Follow the loading instructions of the
manufacturer of your vehicle and this will insure that your tires are no\
t
overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable
loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that m\
ay
result in sudden tire destruction.
Do not exceed the gross axle weight ratings for any axle on your
vehicle. TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see any tire dealer for
advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressures. Tire size
and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure of
tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire placard and the owner’s
manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further
recommendations on trailer towing.

Safety Maintenance Information
Read this Owner’s Manual, the information on the sidewall of your
tires, your vehicle owner’s manual and the tire information placard
that came on your vehicle, for essential safety and maintenance
information.
While you should have complete confidence in your new MICHELIN
®
tires, it’s important to register your tires so we can contact you
about any new safety developments. For online tire registration, visit
tireregistration.com.
Tire Failure – Safety Warning
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture,
impact damage, improper inflation, overloading, a crack, a bulge or
other distortion, 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, death, or property damage. To reduce the risk
ofa tire failure, you should thoroughly read and follow the instructions\

in this manual, your vehicle owner’s manual, the tire information
placard on the vehicle (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door), and tire sidewall
information regarding safety warnings, proper tire use, and proper
tire maintenance.
Controlling a Vehicle When a Tire Failure Occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, o\
r
feel the vehicle pull toward the side of the failed tire. If that happen\
s,
DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.
Instead, slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the
steering wheel firmly while steering to remain in your lane. Once
the vehicle has slowed and is fully in your control, apply the brakes
gently, safely pull over to the shoulder, and come to a stop in the
safest location possible. Inspect all tires. If any tire looks flat or low ,
or shows detachment or any other damage, replace the wheel and
tire with a properly inflated spare after first inspecting the spare for

visible damage. Bumps, bulges, or cracks in any tire may indicate
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified
tire professional. If any tire, including the spare, has bumps, bulges, \
cracks, or other visible damage, do not resume driving with that tire. I\
f
you have no other option, you should drive as slowly and cautiously as
possible until you can obtain towing or mechanical assistance. If the
spare tire is not properly inflated, do not resume driving with that tire
unless you have no other option, in which case you should drive only
as slowly as is safely possible in the traffic conditions until you can
both get the spare tire properly inflated and have it checked by a tire
professional to ensure that it is safe to use.
Proper Inflation
Driving On Any Tire That Does Not Have The Correct
Inflation Pressure Is Dangerous
An underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in
sudden tire failure and an accident. If your tires are those that came
as original equipment on your vehicle when it was new, refer to the tire
information placard that came on your vehicle (located in the vehicle’s
door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door),
for the recommended operating pressures. For replacement tires,
ask your Michelin tire retailer for the correct inflation pressure; if you
do not, refer to the tire information placard that came on your vehicle \
(located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the
glove compartment door), for the recommended operating pressures.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. Never
exceed the Maximum Pressure rating stated on the tire sidewall. Note
that proper inflation pressures for rear tires may differ from proper
inflation pressures for front tires. The Maximum Pressure rating on the
tire is normally not equal to the placard pressure.

MICHELIN
134
Tires loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular
application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire \
failure and an accident. Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for \
any axle on your vehicle.
Trailer Towing
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit your Michelin tire
retailer for advice about the correct tire size and pressures. Tire size
and pressures will depend on the type and size of trailer and hitch
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure
or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire information placard
that came on your vehicle, (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door) and the owner’s
manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further
recommendations on trailer towing.
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) Tires and Trailer Towing
Operation of ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in tow
is dangerous and should be avoided. If the low pressure warning
indicator is activated when a trailer is in tow, stop, disconnect the
trailer, and do not continue to tow the trailer until the tire has been
properly repaired and re-inflated to the proper inflation. If the tire
cannot be properly repaired, it must be replaced with a new full-size,
matching ZP tire, and inflated to the proper inflation, before the trailer
can be safely towed again.

Wheel Alignment and Balancing Are Important for
Safety and Maximum Mileage from Your Tires.

NITTO TIRE
149
The original usable tread is determined by measuring the depth on
the tread of an identical model of a new Nitto brand tire to the top of \
the treadwear indicator bars (note: the original usable tread depth will
vary by tire model).
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows:
[(Original usable tread worn) ÷ (Original usable tread)]
x (Actual current dealer selling price).
A comparable Nitto brand tire is the same tire, or a tire of the
same basic construction and quality, as the original tire, as determined
by Nitto.
HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM
To make a claim under this Limited Warranty, you must: 1.
Present your vehicle with the subject tire(s), to an authorized
Nitto dealer.
2.
Complete and sign the Nitto Limited Warranty Claim form
provided by the dealer.
3.
Keep a copy of the Claim form for your records, and leave the
subject tire with the dealer.
Your claim will be administered in accordance with the limited warranty
that was in effect when you purchased the vehicle new.

WINTER (SNOW) TIRES
Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle handling.
The use of winter tires, studs, and chains, while improving traction
performance in snow and ice, requires additional caution and care with
regard to braking, cornering, and speed. It is important to drive with
care not only on snow and ice, but on dry and wet roads as well.
• Traction is considerably reduced as snow tires approach 50%
tread wear, and replacement should be considered in order to
maintain effectiveness in heavy snow conditions.
