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.
PIRELLI TIRES
211

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.

10. TireRotation
Pirelli
recommends
that
you
follow
the
tire
rotation
procedure
as
defined

in
your
vehicle
owner ’s
manual.
If
there
is
no
procedure,
PTI
recom-
mends
tire
rotation
every



UP


NJMFT
8,000
to
11,000

to

optimize
your
tire
wear.
11 . Ti r e Repair
Punctures,
nail
holes
or
cuts
located
in
the
tread
area
of
Pirelli
radial
tires

may
be
repaired
if
the
diameter
does
not
exceed
6
mm.
The
repair

material
used
must
seal
the
innerliner
and
fill
the
injury
to
be
considered

a
permanent
repair.
Ti re
and
Rubber
Association
of
Canada
and
industry

approved
repair
methods


include
a
combination
of
plug
and
patch;

chemical
or
hot
vulcanizing
patches,
and
head
type
plugs,
all
applied

from
inside
the
tire.
A
self-vulcanizing
plug
repair
may
be
used
only
in

conjunction
with
a
patch
repair,
but
not
by
itself.
Plugs
may
cause
further

damage
to
the
tire,
they
are
not
always
airtight

and
the
plug
may
fail.
If

a
tire
puncture
exceeds
6
mm
or
is
located
in
the
shoulder
or
sidewall

deflection
areas,
the
tire
must
be
replaced.
Never
resort
to
tubes
(in

tubeless
tires)
or
sleeves
or
large
thick
patches,
which
can
upset
the

balance
and
may
result
in
a
sudden
failur
e
at
highway
speeds
and
high

operating
temperatures.
WARNING!
Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous, as the tire can
suddenly fail, which can lead to an accident and serious personal
injury or death.
PIRELLI TIRE DOES NOT ENDORSE:
• The use of tire sealants in Pirelli tires to repair, even temporarily, a
puncture;
• The repairing of V, W, Y or Z Speed Rated tires;
• The repairing of Run Flat tires.

12.Storage
Should
you
need
to
store
tires
after
removal
from
a
vehicle
(as
in
the
case

of

tires),
they
should
be
stored
in
a
cool,
dry
place.
To
protect
your

tires
from
damage
related
to:
heat,
water,
ozone
and
direct
sunlight,
it
is

suggested
you
place
them
in
opaque,
waterproof
containers
(e.g.,
plastic

trash
bags).
13.Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under
no
circumstances
are
tubes
to
be
used
in
Pirelli
tires
marked

“Tubeless”.
This
includes
tires
that
have
been
repaired.
If
the
tire’s

pressure
retention
ability
has
been
affected,
so
as
to
necessitate
a
tube

being
installed,
the
tire
must
be
replaced.
14. Tire Valves
Whenever
new
tires
are
installed
on
your
wheels,
new
tire
valves
of
the

correct
type
must
be
installed.
During
your
routine
tire
inspection,
verify

that
all
your
valves
have
proper
valve
caps.
Replace
as
necessary,
since

the
valve
cap
is
also
a
seal
against
pressure
loss.
15.Tire Demounting and Mounting
Ti re
fitting
is
best
left
to
professionals
who
have
the
proper
tools
and

equipment
to
perform
the
task
properly
and
safely.
Your
tires
should
be

mounted
or
demounted,
using
Ti re
and
Rubber
Association
of
Canada

procedures
or
the
vehicle
manufacturers’
recommendations.
Your
wheels

should
be
in
good,
clean
condition.
Wheels
should
be
inspected
for

distortion,
dents,
cracks,
rust
and
foreign


matter,
and
be
replaced
as

necessary.
NEVER
EXCEED
40
PSI
WHEN
SEATING
BEADS.

16. Tire/Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Tire/Wheel alignment specifications are issued by your vehicle manu-
facturer and your vehicle must be kept within these tolerances. You
should have your alignment checked annually or whenever you notice
any irregular wear or vibrations. Tire/ Wheel assemblies should be
balanced each time a tire is fitted to a wheel. Tire/Wheel alignment and
balancing are important for safety and maximum performance and
mileage from your tires.
For more information or service regarding Pirelli tires, please contact
your nearest Authorized Pirelli Dealer. To locate an authorized Pirelli
Dealer in your area, refer to the Dealer Locator section on the Pirelli web
site at www.ca.pirelli.com.
