HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially important.However, at high
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for
example is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover, driving
at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid accidents and
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.If you see any damage to a tire or
wheel, replace it with the spare at once and visit a participating
Michelin Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each
type of MICHELIN® tire will cause the tire to build up excessive heat
which can cause tire damage that could result in sudden tire destruction
and rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle when one or more tires
experience a sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by
the legal limits and driving conditions.
SPEED RATINGS
Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some MICHELIN® tires.
The following table shows the maximum speed corresponding to the
symbol.
*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than
149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your participating Michelin® tire retailer
for maximum speed rating if your vehicle capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to use on cars with maximum speed
capabilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h).
(W and Y speed ratings are subcategories of Z).
Consult your Michelin tire retailer for maximum speed capabilities. For
PAX® System Tires consult an authorized PAX System Tire Retailer.
Although a tire may be speed-rated, we do not endorse the operation of
any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings are based on
laboratory tests which relate to performance on the road, but are not
applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged,
altered, improperly repaired or retreaded.
MICHELIN

Furthermore, a tire’s speed rating does not imply that vehicles can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated,
particularly under adverse road and weather conditions or if the vehicle
has unusual characteristics.
Michelin® highway passenger tires that do not have a speed symbol on
the sidewall have a maximum speed rating of 105 mph (170 kph). Light
truck highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of
the tire have a maximum speed rating of 87 mph (140 kph).
MICHELIN® Winter tires that do not have a speed symbol on the
sidewall or tires with Q symbols have a speed rating of 100 mph
(160 km/h). Winter tires with a speed symbol have a maximum speed
rating in accordance with the symbol.
The speed and other ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the
retreader and replace the original manufacturer ’s ratings.
IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle,
replacement tires must have speed ratings equal to or higher than those
fitted as original equipment (as indicated on the vehicle tire placard or
owner ’s manual). If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehicle’s
handling may be affected and the speed capability of the vehicle will be
lowered to the maximum speed capability of the replacement tires as
indicated in the following table.
REMEMBER...High speed driving can be dangerous and may damage
your tires.
AND...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation pressure is
especially important.

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
177

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 2/32of 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.
•Ozone or weather cracking on tires after 48 months from the date of
manufacture or other abuse, misuse, tire alteration, run flat.

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.
