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 2/32 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.

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.

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
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 + 4 PSI = 30 PSI
Therefore: Add 3 PSIPIRELLI TIRES
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

gauge.

8. Tire Replacement
The tires fitted to your vehicle as original equipment were tested and
approved by the vehicle manufacturer and the tire manufacturer and take
into account all aspects of the vehicle’s operation. Changes in the tire size,
type or construction should not be made without seeking advice from the
vehicle or tire manufacturer or an authorized Pirelli dealer since unap-
proved tires on your vehicle could adversely affect steering, handling,
braking and traction. The tire information (tire size, load index and speed
symbol) as found on the vehicle placard or in the owner ’s manual should
always be followed when replacing tires.
It is strongly recommended that Pirelli tires be mounted in sets of four
with the same tread type. Pirelli tires should not be mixed with other tire
brands. It is necessary to follow this procedure because different tire
constructions have different handling characteristics. Tires on the same
axle must be the same manufacturer, brand, tire size, load index, speed
rating and Pirelli part number.
When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is homogeneously
fitted (four tires of the same tire size), fit the new tires on the rear axle.
This applies to all vehicles regardless of their drive axle. (Front or Rear
Drive).
On all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles the tires must always be
replaced in sets of four.
When replacing tires on light truck vehicles, you should always follow
the vehicle manufacturer ’s recommendations. Passenger and light truck
tires are not interchangeable, due to differences in their pressures and
load carrying capacity.
P-Metric and Euro-metric Interchangeability: Euro-metric (Example: 225/
45R17) tires have a load index which is equal to or greater than that of the
same size P-metric (Example: P225/45R17) tire. Therefore, they have the
same or higher load carrying capacity at the maximum rated inflation
pressure. Always check with your tire dealer or Pirelli Tire Consumer
Affairs to be sure of the exact interchangeability to maintain proper
vehicle dynamics.
Please be aware that it is important that, before fitting the suggested tires,
the fitment is allowed by the technical specifications of the vehicle, the
vehicle manufacturer and the relevant homologations. Pirelli Tire does
not express any view as to the compatibility of the wheel/tire combina-
tion with the technical specifications for the chassis and vehicle.
