DESIGNATION ON STANDARD WHEELS. IN SUCH APPLICATIONS,
THE TIRES MAY BECOME UNSERVICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO
PRESSURE, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICHELIN® TRX™
TIRES
The MICHELIN® TRX™ tire is a tubeless tire that must only be mounted
on special wheels (TR or JM type) with millimetric seat diameter. If TRX
tires are mounted on standard wheels, they will not retain air due to an
air escape feature designed into the bead area of these tires.
Do not try to override this feature by mounting TRX tires with tubes.
The MICHELIN® TRX tire must be used on all wheel positions.
TEMPORARY TYPE SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle
manufacturer ’s instructions.
READING THE DOT
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (prior to August 2000)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (1990-1999)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXXX (after July 2000)
THE DOT
The “DOT” symbol certifies tire manufacturer ’s compliance with U.S.
Department of Transportation tire safety standards. Next to the symbol is
the tire identification or “serial number”. The first two characters identify
the plant where the tire was manufactured. The next two characters
reflect the tire size. The following one to four digits may be used at the
tire manufacturer ’s option as a descriptive code. The last three characters
are numbers identifying the week and year of manufacture. (Example:
“O25” means second week of the year of decade, eg.: 1995, 1985, etc.) For
the 1990-1999 decade MICHELIN® brand tires are marked with a triangle
pointing to the last three numeric characters. Tires produced after July
2000 have an additional digit to identify a given decade. For example,
2800 means the tire was produced during the 28th week of 2000; 0201
during the 2nd week of 2001. If the last digits of your DOT number
contains three numeric characters and is not marked with a triangle,
consult a qualified tire technician to determine the year of manufacture.

SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES INCLUDING SPARE TIRES
The following recommendation applies to passenger car and light truck
tires. Tires are composed of various types of material and rubber
compounds, having performance properties essential to the proper
functioning of the tire itself. These component properties evolve over
time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors such as
weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation
pressure, maintenance etc.) to which the tire is subjected throughout its
life. This service-related evolution varies widely so that accurately
predicting the serviceable life of any specific tire in advance is not
possible.
That is why, in addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure
maintenance by consumers, it is recommended to have passenger car and
light truck tires, including spare tires, inspected regularly by a qualified
tire specialist, such as a tire dealer, who will assess the tire’s suitability for
continued service. Tires which have been in use for 5 years or more
should continue to be inspected by a specialist at least annually. Con-
sumers are strongly encouraged to be aware not only of their tires’ visual
condition and inflation pressure but also of any change in dynamic
performance such as increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be
an indication that the tires need to be removed from service to prevent
tire failure. It is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based
on their calendar age alone. However the older a tire the greater the
chance that it will need to be replaced due to the service-related evolution
or other conditions found upon inspection or detected during use.
While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is
recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of
manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple
precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not
reached the legal wear limit. For tires that were on an original equipment
vehicle (i.e., acquired by the consumer on a new vehicle), follow the
vehicle manufacturer ’s tire replacement recommendations, when speci-
fied (but not to exceed 10 years).
The date when a tire was manufactured is located on the sidewall of each
tire. Consumers should locate the Department of Transportation or DOT
code on the tire which begins with DOT and ends with the week and year
of manufacture. For example, a DOT code ending with “2204” indicates
a tire made in the 22nd week (May) of 2004.

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 2/32 of 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.
NEXEN TIRE

TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRY-
ING CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS HAVE A
LOAD INDEX AND SPEED SYMBOL EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN
THOSE FITTED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
When making plus size fitments, you should consult with the dealer
regarding any suspension or braking system modifications which may be
recommended for the vehicle.
9. Tire Inspection
As a minimum, tires (including the spare tire) should be examined and air
pressure checked monthly and always prior to long trips. They should also
be examined if you strike any unusual object on the road. Tires showing
bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations or uneven wear must be dismounted and
examined by an authorized Pirelli tire dealer and replaced if necessary.
Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in the tread grooves, which show up
when the tread has worn to 2/32” remaining. At this point, your tires must
be replaced because they are illegal and dangerous.
The mere passage of time (age) does not cause tires to deteriorate, but
rather exposure to outside forces. Such outside forces can include, but are
not limited to: road hazards, punctures, improper repairs, misalignment,
under inflated operation, over inflated operation, excessive heat caused
by over deflected operation, excessive exposure to ozone, improper
storage conditions, etc. Tire companies can only have an impact on a few
of these exposures. Tire companies add antiozinants and anti-oxidants
(anti-degradation compounds) to minimize degradation. Pirelli believes
that since there is no way to accurately predict what outside forces a tire
will be exposed to there is no scientifically supportable age limit that can
be set for tires.
To avoid cosmetic damage, use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls
and rinse off with low-pressure tap water. Never apply cleaners or
dressings to enhance sidewall appearance to avoid removal of antioxi-
dants, which are intended to prevent ozone degradation. The removal of
anti-oxidants may degrade the rubber and can lead to sidewall cracking.
Use of high-pressure sprayers may cause sidewall damage.
WARNING!
Driving on a damaged tire is dangerous, as the tire can suddenly fail,
which can lead to an accident and serious personal injury or death.
