Patterns sold after May 1st 2014 by NEXEN TIRE in the United States and
Canada are eligible for a free 24/7/365 Roadside Assistance for a period
of 36 months from the purchase date. Upon purchasing Nexen tires, the
consumer will receive an activation card from the tire shop. An online
registration needs to be completed in order to have access to a toll free
phone number to call in case of a flat tire. A qualified professional will
change your flat tire with your spare tire free of charge. If a working spare
is not available, towing will be provided free of charge to the nearest
NEXEN TIRE dealer or authorized place of repair.
*Nexen Tire reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of all
warranties at any time.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
•Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation or
over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
•Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
•Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
the sidewall of the tire.
•Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
•Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
when 2/32of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
•Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
separations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount
a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and contact your
local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
•Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum
speed justified by driving conditions.
•To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is required.

Road Hazard Policy For Run Flat Tires Only
Pirelli Run Flat tires are manufactured with technology that allows
limited low-inflation operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure.
Pirelli does not recommend the repair of run flat tires and as a result,
Pirelli provides road hazard coverage on all Pirelli produced tires that are
manufactured with run flat technology. To qualify for Run Flat Road
Hazard coverage, a completed claim form along with the tire exhibiting
the road hazard must be returned to Pirelli through an authorized Pirelli
dealer.
If a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or materials
anomalies or road hazard injury during the initial warranty period,
which is one year from the date of original retail purchase of the vehicle
or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt required) or within the
first 2/32” of the original usable tread, whichever occurs first, the tire will
be replaced with the same or comparable tire at no charge for the tire to
the owner. After the initial warranty period, if a Run Flat tire becomes
unserviceable due to workmanship or materials anomalies or road
hazard injury, the owner must pay the cost of a comparable new Pirelli
brand or PTI private brand replacement tire on a pro-rata basis. The
authorized Pirelli dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current dealer selling
price. The owner must pay for any associated service charges, including
costs associated with mounting and balancing of the tire. This Road
Hazard Policy is not a warranty. PTI does not warranty that a Pirelli tire
will not fail due to road hazard and does not authorize any person,
including authorized Pirelli dealers, to make such a warranty.

2. Tire Categories
ALL SEASON TIRES (ALL WEATHER TIRES): Tires that are designed to
perform in a variety of road conditions in all seasons of the year. An all
season tire will carry “M+S”, “M&S”, or “M/S” designation on the
sidewall. All Season tires may carry a Limited Treadwear Warranty
depending on line.
SUMMER TIRES ( MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, HIGH PERFOR-
MANCE, ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE): Summer Performance tires
offer superior handling, grip and cornering ability compared to standard
tires. They are rated for operation at higher speeds. Maximum Perfor-
mance, High Performance and Ultra High Performance categories each
have different performance characteristics, UTQG ratings and rate of
wear depending on line. Some lines may carry a limited treadwear
warranty.
WINTER TIRES (SNOW TIRES): A winter tire is a tire with a tread design
and compound made specifically for snowy and icy conditions and is
identified by M&S, M+S or M/S markings on the sidewalls. Tires
designed for use in severe snow conditions are further identified with a
pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on the sidewalls and must
meet specific snow performance test requirements. Pirelli Winter tires do
not carry a mileage warranty.
The information provided above is an overview of tire types. Tread
patterns and rubber compounds vary among the seasonal tire types and
provide varying performance characteristics and limitations based on
your individual needs and vehicle specifications. Summer performance
tires are different than winter and all season types. To determine which
Pirelli lines carry a Limited Treadwear Warranty, please refer to The PTI
Treadwear Mileage Warranty Conditions and Mileage Warranty sections
found in this document.
3. Pressure Recommendations
Recommended tire inflation pressures for your vehicle can be found
either on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner ’s manual.
Correct pressures are related to load, speed and vehicle handling and are
vital for even braking, maximum traction and good tire life. Under no
circumstances should your tire’s cold inflation pressure be less than that
indicated on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner ’s
manual or higher than the maximum cold inflation pressure molded on
PIRELLI TIRES
208

to the tire’s sidewall. Under inflation causes excessive flexing, deteriora-
tion of the tire and rapid wear of the tread edges. Over inflation results
in an uncomfortable ride, a reduced area of tire contact with the road
surface (i.e., smaller tire footprint), higher susceptibility to impact
damage and rapid wear on the tread center.
WARNING!
Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous.
These situations can cause a tire failure, including tread/belt
separation, even at a later date, which could lead to an accident and
serious personal injury or death.
Inflation pressure must be checked at least once a month and should be
checked only when the tire is cold or before it has been driven. Driving
even a short distance (1 kilometer or 2 to 3 minutes) causes tires to heat
up and the air pressure to increase approximately 4 psi. In case it is
necessary to adjust the air pressure in tires that have been driven, the air
pressure should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi higher than the
recommended cold inflation pressure.
For Example Only:
Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 27 PSI.
Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure: 26 PSI
Desired Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 26 PSI+4PSI=30PSI
Therefore: Add 3 PSI
Check the cold inflation pressure on the tires, at least by the next day.
Never reduce or “bleed” pressure from hot tires since your tires will then
be underinflated when they cool down. Always use a reliable pressure
gauge.
4. UHP Summer Tires
Rubber compounds formulated for ultra high performance summer tires
can lose flexibility and may develop random surface cracks at cold
temperatures. Therefore extra care should be used in handling tires in this
condition. These compounds are optimized for maximum dry and wet
performance in warm conditions. Special tread compounds in these tires
will have decreased performance, such as lateral and braking traction, at
temperatures below 7° C or when driving on snow or ice. Therefore, it is
recommended to install winter tires in these conditions.
