HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially important.However, at high
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for
example is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover, driving
at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid accidents and
bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If you see any damage to a tire or
wheel, replace it with the spare at once and visit a participating
Michelin Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each
type of MICHELIN® tire will cause the tire to build up excessive heat
which can cause tire damage that could result in sudden tire destruction
and rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle when one or more tires
experience a sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by
the legal limits and driving conditions.
SPEED RATINGS
Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some MICHELIN® tires.
The following table shows the maximum speed corresponding to the
symbol.
*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than
149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your participating Michelin® tire retailer
for maximum speed rating if your vehicle capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to use on cars with maximum speed
capabilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h).
(W and Y speed ratings are subcategories of Z).
Consult your Michelin tire retailer for maximum speed capabilities. For
PAX® System Tires consult an authorized PAX System Tire Retailer.
Although a tire may be speed-rated, we do not endorse the operation of
any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings are based on
laboratory tests which relate to performance on the road, but are not
applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged,
altered, improperly repaired or retreaded.

mended
that

positions.
Before

types
in

on

any
vehicle,
be
sure
to
check
the
vehicle
manufacturer ’s
owner‘s
manual

for
its

TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT
To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires.
Refer to your vehicle owner ’s manual for instructions on tire rotation. If
you do not have an owner‘s manual for your vehicle, Michelin recom-
mends rotating your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km).
Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should be
rotated at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before 6,000
miles (10,000 km). This is true for all vehicles.
MICHELIN
177

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
manufacture or other abuse, misuse, tire alteration, run flat.
NEXEN TIRE
188

WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ROAD HAZARD
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
•A tire that is damaged due to vandalism.
• A tire that is damaged due to an accident.
• A tire that is repairable under Rubber Manufacturers Association
(RMA) standards.
• A tire that has failed due to commercial use.
• A tire that is damaged or failed due to racing or off road use.
• A tire that is damaged due to use of snow chains or studs.
• A tire that is damaged or failed due to irregular wear caused by
mechanical issues.
• Original equipment tires on new vehicle.
• Tires transferred from the vehicle that they were originally installed.
CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION WHEN FILING CLAIM
To maintain Mileage Tread Wear Warranty and Road Hazard Replace-
ment Program, the consumer is responsible for the following:
•Any claims must be presented to an authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer.
• Submit or present a copy of the original purchase receipt with
documented automobile mileage at time of tire installation and of tire
dismounting.
• Submit a tire rotation record showing that all tires have been rotated at
least every 5,000-6,000 miles (8,000-10,000 km). Tire rotation record is
not necessary for Mileage claims when tire is within 2/32” difference
of remaining tread depth as measured from shoulder to shoulder on
the claim tire, and compared to the remaining tread depth of the
opposite front/rear or left/right tire.
• Complete and sign the NEXEN TIRE Claim Adjustment form provided
by the dealer, keep a copy for your records and leave the tire with the
dealer for warranty processing.
