DO NOT OVERLOAD - DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS
DANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall. Do
not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions of the manufac-
turer of your vehicle and this will ensure that your tires are not
overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable
loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may
result in sudden tire destruction.
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 any Michelin tire
retailer for advice concerning the correct size 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 or tire
load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and the owner ’s manual
supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further recommenda-
tions on trailer towing.
MICHELIN® PAX® System Tires/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP)
Tires and Trailer Towing
Operation of Pax or ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in
tow, is dangerous and is not recommended. 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 repaired and
re-inflated to the proper air pressure. If the tire cannot be repaired, it must
be replaced with a new full size, PAX/ZP tire, and inflated to the proper
air pressure, before the trailer can be safely towed again.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR
SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE EACH
MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These
conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the
handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If
you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance

TOTAL COVERAGE WARRANTY™
(Effective February 1, 2016)
FOR STEEL BELTED RADIAL TIRES MANUFACTURED BY NEXEN
TIRE
ABOUT NEXEN TOTAL COVERAGE WARRANTY
This limited warranty only applies to the original purchaser of new
replacement tires sold by NEXEN TIRE USA (as below NEXEN TIRE),
and has been used on the same vehicle that it was originally installed on.
This warranty applies to tires purchased after February 1st 2016. Tires
purchased before February 1st 2016 are subject to the previous published
warranty.
The Nexen Total Coverage Warranty offers the consumer the following
benefits:
Coverage for Defects in Workmanship and Materials
•Mileage Tread Wear Limited Warranty*
• Road Hazard Replacement Program*
• Roadside Assistance – Flat Tire Change or Tow Service
*Most, but not all Nexen Tire patterns come with a Mileage Tread Wear
Warranty and/or Road Hazard Replacement. Check each pattern for
coverage.
For purposes of this warranty, the term “usable tread life” will be
determined as having at least 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread remaining evenly
across the tire. If less than 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread remains at any point
on the face of the tire, the tire will be considered past its usable tread life
and subject to any and all conditions stated below.
WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS
All NEXEN tires are warranted against defects in workmanship and
material and will be replaced 100% free of charge for the initial warranty
period which is the first 2/32 (1.6 mm) of original usable tread life, or
within 12 months from the period of purchase, whichever comes first.
NEXEN TIRE
187
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 2/32 of 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

or in commercial service.
OTHER LIMITATIONS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE
FOLLOWING:

be rotated, the mileage warranty for the rear tires will be half of the
stated mileage warranty.
• Winter tires must be used only in winter months, which are deter-
mined to be September 1st through April 30th of the following year.
Documentation is required showing date of installation and removal to
maintain tread wear warranty.
ROAD HAZARD REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
Most patterns sold by NEXEN TIRE are covered by a road hazard
warranty that protects the consumer against non-repairable damage
caused by puncture, snag, cut, bruise or impact break. Typical road
hazards are nails, glass, potholes and other debris. Covered tires will be
eligible for a free replacement for the first 3/32 of original tread depth,
or for a period of two years from the date of purchase; whichever comes
first. If the DOT # on the tire is greater than 2 years from the adjustment
date, an invoice showing date of purchase is necessary. The cost of
mounting, balancing and any other service charges including applicable
taxes are required to be paid by the consumer.

What Is The Adjustment Policy And For How Long?
If a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or material
anomalies 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 to the owner. To receive consider-
ation for warranty coverage, tires must be returned to a PTI authorized
dealer. Tire Inspection Personnel designated by PTI make the final
determination regarding qualification for Workmanship and Materials
and Limited Tread wear coverage on tires submitted to Pirelli via an
authorized Pirelli dealer. If the tire is presented for ride related anomalies
the warranty period 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 owner must pay for any associated service charges, including
costs associated with mounting and balancing in both the aforemen-
tioned cases.
After the initial warranty period, if a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable
due to workmanship or material anomalies the owner must pay the cost
for 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.
A tire has delivered its original usable tread life and is considered 100%
worn when the tread wear indicators (2/32” tread remaining) become
visible regardless of age or mileage.
