2018 DODGE DURANGO SRT tires

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 docu-
mented 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, 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 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 (for example, waterbase sealers or balanc-
ing substances);
•Cosmetic ozone or weather cracking;
•Use of MICHELIN Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (AP) tires without a
properly operating low 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 materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new MICHELIN® tire, free of charge, when 2/32 nds 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 2/32 nds 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
comparable new MICHELIN® passenger or light truck replacement 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 intended to fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire.Yo u
pay the cost of mounting, balancing and any other service charges and
applicable taxes.
Treadwear
A tire meeting the conditions for pro rata replacement, 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 replaced with a compa-
rable 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.You pay the
cost of mounting, balancing and any other dealer services and applicable
taxes.Tires which wear out evenly before delivering the warranted mileage
will be replaced on a pro rata basis only if:
1. You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own the vehicle on
which they were originally installed, and the tires have been used only
on that vehicle;

CONTROLLABILITY
Controlling a vehicle when a tire failure occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, and/or
the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire. If possible, step on
the accelerator momentarily to maintain forward momentum and ensure
vehicle control. It is most important that you DO NOT BRAKE OR
ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. 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 under
control, apply the brakes gently; safely pull over to the shoulder and
come to a stop. Inspect the tires. If one or more looks flat or low, shows
detachment or other damage, remove tire assembly and replace it with a
properly inflated spare. Bumps or bulges may indicate detachment
within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified tire technician.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden
tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the
tire decal on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle owner ’s manual
for decal location) for the recommended operating pressures. For replace-
ment tires, the correct inflation pressure will be provided by your tire
retailer; if not, refer to the vehicle decal.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However,
do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire
sidewall.
SELF-SUPPORTING TIRES. ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES, AND PAX
SYSTEM TIRES, AT LOW OR ZERO AIR PRESSURE
The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated PAX System tire
or Self- Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire (whether front or rear) are not
the same as those of a vehicle with normally inflated tires. Avoid high
speeds and hard cornering whenever a low pressure warning is acti-
vated.
MICHELIN
167

Even a MICHELIN® PAX® System Tire or Self-Supporting Zero Pressure
(ZP) tire can build up excessive heat when run underinflated for an
extended period of time. The length of time and distance a PAX System
Tire/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire will perform at low or zero
air pressure will depend upon the severity of the event causing air loss,
ambient temperature, speed at which the tire is operated, and the
conditions under which the tire is operated (i.e. hard braking, cornering
and other sharp maneuvers will greatly reduce the length of time the tire
can perform at low or zero air pressure.) Continuous use of an underin-
flated tire may lead to sudden tire destruction. If a tire at low or zero
pressure begins to vibrate or cause difficulty in vehicle handling, remove
the tire immediately and replace with the temporary spare. If Michelin®
PAX System Tire/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires are supplied as
original equipment, refer to the vehicle owner ’s manual for complete
details on the low tire pressure warning system designed to alert you in
the event of a low pressure condition.
NOTE:MICHELIN® SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE (ZP)
TIRES ARE TO BE USED ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN OPERA-
TIONAL, MICHELIN® APPROVED, LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING
SYSTEM. Otherwise, all provisions of the limited warranty are void. For
a list of approved systems, see your participating Michelin® tire retailer,
or call toll free:1-800-847-3435
NOTE:Some MICHELIN® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (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 SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE:MICHELIN® PAX® SYSTEM TIRES ARE TO BE USED ONLY
IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN OPERATIONAL, TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS), APPROVED BY THE VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER FOR USE WITH THE PAX SYSTEM. Otherwise, all
provisions of the limited warranty are void. For a list of approved
systems, see your authorized PAX System retailer, or call toll free:

For all types of tires, consult your vehicle tire placard or owner ’s manual
for recommended operating pressures. If the tires are purchased as
replacement tires, operating instructions for the low pressure warning
system will be provided by the manufacturer of that system. Recom-
mended operating pressures will be provided by a participating Michelin
tire retailer for self supporting ZP tires. Recommended operating pres-
sure for PAX System Tires will be provided by a PAX System retailer.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However,
do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire
sidewall.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURES IN ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle
handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire
destruction, loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury. Therefore,
inflation pressures should be checked at least once each month and
always prior to long distance trips. This applies to all tires, including
sealant types, and Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires which are as
susceptible to losing air pressure as any other type of tire if not properly
maintained.
UNDERINFLATION
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated by
simply looking at them. It is almost impossible to “feel or hear” when a
tire is being run underinflated or nearly flat. Tires must be checked
monthly with a tire pressure gauge.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold, in other words, before
they have been driven on. Driving, even for a short distance, causes tires
to heat up and air pressure to increase.
Checking pressure when tires are hot:
If pressures are checked after tires have been driven for more than three
minutes or more than one mile, (2 km) the tires become hot and the
pressures will increase by approximately 4 psi. Therefore when the tire
pressure is adjusted under these conditions, it should be increased to a
gauge reading of 4 psi greater than the recommended cold inflation
pressure.
MICHELIN
169

For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire:......................................... 32 psi(220 kPa)
If recommended cold inflation pressure is:................. 30 psi(205 kPa)
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30+4psi=...34 psi (205 + 30 = 235 kPa)
Therefore: add 2 psi...................................................................... (15 kPa)
Check cold pressure as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours.
“Bleeding” air from hot tires could result in underinflation. Use an
accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow children to inflate
or deflate tires.
FOR MICHELIN® PAX® SYSTEM TIRES/SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO
PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE FOLLOWING A LOW PRESSURE WARNING
The PAX® System requires a functioning, correctly calibrated on-board
vehicle tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to monitor the air
pressure and alert the driver when a low pressure event occurs. Be
certain to ensure that your vehicle’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is functioning and is correctly calibrated. Refer to your vehicle
owner ’s manual or your vehicle dealer.
Low pressure warning systems are designed to alert the driver to a low
air pressure situation in at least one tire on the vehicle. While your ZP
tires are designed to provide continued mobility in the event of an air
loss, the sooner you respond to a warning and take corrective action, the
greater the likelihood that the tire can be returned to service.
Always visually inspect your MICHELIN® PAX® System tire and
self-supporting tires and use a pressure gauge to check the air pressure
in all 4 tires following any low pressure warning. (Unless advised to do
otherwise by the manufacturer of your low pressure warning system.)
If the tire pressure is at or below 18 PSI, proceed to the nearest
Authorized PAX System Retailer for PAX tires or a participating Michelin
tire retailer for ZP tires (or a representative of your vehicle manufacturer
if advised to do so in your vehicle owner ’s manual) and have the tire
demounted and thoroughly inspected for possible internal damage.
If you are unable to see any damage to the tire, and the tire pressure is
more than 18 PSI, reinflate your tire to the proper air pressure. (See
instructions for checking pressures when tires are hot.) When tires
have cooled, check air pressure again. If any tire has lost more than
