your vehicle owner ’s manual, even though the tire has lost all air! That
means time to exit from the highway and get to a place where the tire can
be inspected, replaced, or possibly returned to service. The distance that
can safely be travelled following an air loss incident will depend upon
the conditions under which the vehicle is operating, the degree of air loss,
the extent of the damage causing the air loss, the ambient temperature,
the load, and the operating speed of the vehicle. The fewer miles you
travel after an air loss incident, the greater the likelihood that the tire can
be re-inflated (or, if punctured, repaired) and returned to service.
Pax System
The MICHELIN® PAX® System is a very sophisticated system that
includes the tire, support ring and gel, pressure sensing device, and
wheel. In the event of a loss of tire air pressure, with this system you can
still carefully maneuver the vehicle at speeds up to 55 miles per hour, for
a distance of up to 125 miles, even though a tire has lost all air! That
means time to get off the highway and get to a place where the tire can
be inspected, replaced, or possibly repaired and returned to service.
That’s peace of mind!
MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED
WARRANTY
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires MICHELIN® Passenger and Light
Truck tires, used in normal service on the vehicle on which they were
originally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recommen-
dations and safety warnings contained in the attached owner ’s manual,
are covered by this warranty against defects in workmanship and
materials for the life of the original usable tread, or 6 years from the
date of purchase, whichever occurs first. At that time, all warranties,
express or implied, expire. The usable tread is the original tread down
to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm)
of tread remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new vehicle
registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is available,
coverage will be based on the date of manufacture.
Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions
described under “How Replacement Charges are Calculated”.
MICHELIN160

HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new MICHELIN® tire, free of charge, when 2/32 nds of an
inch (1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less,
whichever is more beneficial to the user) and within 12 months of the
date of purchase. Mounting and balancing of the tire is included.You pay
the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes. When more
than 2/32 nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of original tread has been worn (or
more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to the user) or after 12
months from the date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a comparable
new MICHELIN® passenger or light truck replacement tire on a pro rata
basis. The retailer will determine the charge by multiplying the percent-
age of the original usable tread worn, by the current selling price at the
adjustment location or the price in the current MICHELIN® Base Price
List, whichever is lower. This list is based on a predetermined price
intended to fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire. You pay the
cost of mounting, balancing and any other service charges and appli-
cable taxes.
Treadwear
A tire meeting the conditions for pro rata replacement, which wears evenly
across the tread, down to the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch
tread remaining) within 6 years of the date of purchase, and before
delivering the warranted miles of service, will be replaced with a compa-
rable new MICHELIN® tire based on mileage received. The participating
MICHELIN® tire retailer will determine the charge by multiplying the
percent of mileage received by the current actual selling price at the
adjustment location or the price of the tire in the current Michelin Base Price
List, whichever is lower. This list is based on a predetermined price
intended to fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire. You pay the
cost of mounting, balancing and any other dealer services and applicable
taxes. Tires which wear out evenly before delivering the warranted mileage
will be replaced on a pro rata basis only if:
1. You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own the vehicle on which they were originally installed, and the tires have been used only
on that vehicle;

TIRE DISABLEMENT
SAFETY WARNING
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, impact
damage, improper inflation, overloading or other conditions resulting
from use or misuse. Tire failures, such as a rapid air loss or a tread and
belt detachment, may increase risk of injury or death and/or property
damage. To reduce the risk of a tire failure, Michelin recommends you
thoroughly read and follow the recommendations in the Michelin
Owner ’s Manual, vehicle owner ’s manual, tire placard information, and
tire sidewall information regarding safety warnings, proper tire use and
maintenance.

For all types of tires, consult your vehicle tire placard or owner ’s manual
for recommended operating pressures. If the tires are purchased as
replacement tires, operating instructions for the low pressure warning
system will be provided by the manufacturer of that system. Recom-
mended operating pressures will be provided by a participating Michelin
tire retailer for self supporting ZP tires. Recommended operating pres-
sure for PAX System Tires will be provided by a PAX System retailer.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However,
do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire
sidewall.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURES IN ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle
handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire
destruction, loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury. Therefore,
inflation pressures should be checked at least once each month and
always prior to long distance trips. This applies to all tires, including
sealant types, and Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires which are as
susceptible to losing air pressure as any other type of tire if not properly
maintained.
UNDERINFLATION
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated by
simply looking at them. It is almost impossible to “feel or hear” when a
tire is being run underinflated or nearly flat. Tires must be checked
monthly with a tire pressure gauge.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold, in other words, before
they have been driven on. Driving, even for a short distance, causes tires
to heat up and air pressure to increase.
Checking pressure when tires are hot:
If pressures are checked after tires have been driven for more than three
minutes or more than one mile, (2 km) the tires become hot and the
pressures will increase by approximately 4 psi. Therefore when the tire
pressure is adjusted under these conditions, it should be increased to a
gauge reading of 4 psi greater than the recommended cold inflation
pressure.
MICHELIN
169

5 PSI from the previous pressure check, have the tire inspected at once
by an authorized PAX System Retailer for PAX tires or a participating
Michelin tire retailer (or representative of your vehicle manufacturer if
your vehicle owner ’s manual so advises.) Failure to do so may cause
irreparable damage to the tire and result in sudden tire destruction and
personal injury.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS):
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires mounted on your
vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire pressure falls below a
predetermined level. A TPMS should not replace monthly manual
pressure checks for all four (4) tires and the spare. We recommend that
you manually monitor and check tire pressure inflation with a pressure
gauge. Your tires should have the recommended pressure listed by your
vehicle’s manufacturer. This information can be found in the vehicle
owner ’s manual and often on a placard located in the vehicle’s door
jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door. If you
have a plus size fitment that requires a higher inflation pressure, your tire
pressure monitoring system will require re-calibration to new inflation
pressure. Refer to your tire dealer/installer of plus size tires for proper
inflation pressure.
We recommend checking air pressure once each month, and before a long
trip. Whether you have a full-sized or mini-spare, make sure that it is
properly inflated as well. If the TPMS generates improper monitoring or
signals we recommend that you consult your owner ’s manual provided
with your vehicle and follow-up with your vehicle’s manufacturer.
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated on the
speedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running, unloaded tire can cause
it to “explode” from centrifugal force. The energy released by such an
explosion is sufficient to cause serious physical injury or death. Never
allow anyone to stand near or behind the spinning tire.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions, do not engage
in excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor excessively, particularly
with automatic transmission vehicles, may cause a drive tire that has lost
traction to spin beyond its speed capability. This is also true when
balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using the vehicle
engine to spin the tire/wheel assembly.
MICHELIN
171

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.
