What Is Not Covered
This warranty does not cover tires damaged due to misuse, abuse or 
accident such as:•
 Road hazards (e.g., cuts, snags, bruises, impact damage or 
punctures);
•
 Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or  
improper repair;
•
 Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, 
overinflation or other abuse;

 Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity 
in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment (a measured tread 
difference of 2/32nds of an inch or more across the face of the 
tread on the same tire);

 Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism;
•
 Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brakelock;

 Michelin does not cover Original Equipment tires for mileage.
What Will Michelin Do?
If a tire is covered, and 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) or less of the 
original tread is worn (or 25% or less, whichever is more beneficial to 
you), and it is within 12 months of the date of purchase, Michelin will\
, 
free of charge, replace your tire with a comparable new MICHELIN
® 
replacement tire, mount the tire, and balance the tire. You must pay the 
cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes.

Safety Maintenance Information
Read this Owner’s Manual, the information on the sidewall of your 
tires, your vehicle owner’s manual and the tire information placard 
that came on your vehicle, for essential safety and maintenance 
information.
While you should have complete confidence in your new MICHELIN
® 
tires, it’s important to register your tires so we can contact you 
about any new safety developments. For online tire registration, visit

Tire Failure – Safety Warning
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, 
impact damage, improper inflation, overloading, a crack, a bulge or 
other distortion, 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, death, or property damage. To reduce the risk 
ofa tire failure, you should thoroughly read and follow the instructions\
  
in this manual, your vehicle owner’s manual, the tire information 
placard on the vehicle (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside 
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door), and tire sidewall 
information regarding safety warnings, proper tire use, and proper  
tire maintenance.
Controlling a Vehicle When a Tire Failure Occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, o\
r 
feel the vehicle pull toward the side of the failed tire. If that happen\
s, 
DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. 
Instead, slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the 
steering wheel firmly while steering to remain in your lane. Once 
the vehicle has slowed and is fully in your control, apply the brakes 
gently, safely pull over to the shoulder, and come to a stop in the 
safest location possible. Inspect all tires. If any tire looks flat or low , 
or shows detachment or any other damage, replace the wheel and 
tire with a properly inflated spare after first inspecting the spare for

TIRE WEAR – VISUAL CHECK
If you experience a blowout or a sudden tire failure, the following 
information should be helpful:•

vibration, and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed 
tire. Do not abruptly brake or turn.
•
 Maintain steady pressure on the accelerator pedal.
•

States of America or Canada;

Owner’s Responsibilities
The owner is responsible for proper tire care and maintenance. 
Maintain the recommended tire pressure by checking the tire pressure 
monthly and before long trips with an accurate pressure gauge. Using 
vehicle manufacturer suggestions based on load will improve tire life 
and your satisfaction with the tires.

Storage
Should you need to store tires they should be stored indoors in a 
cool, dry place. Tire storage areas should be cool (45° F ~ 75° F), 
dry, non-dusty, and moderately well ventilated. 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). It is vital that the tires do not come in contact \
with 
sources of heat and/or ozone i.e. radiators, electric generators/motors,\
 
hot pipes, etc., and tires should never be allowed to stand or come into\
 
contact with water, grease, fuels, brake fluid or any other chemicals.
If you need to transport your tires, please follow the above guidelines.\
WARNING: Driving on an improperly stored tire is dangerous, 
as the tire can suddenly fail, which can lead to an accident and 
serious personal injury or death.
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 instead.
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, ver\
ify 
that all your valves have proper valve caps. Replace as necessary, 
since the valve cap is also a seal against pressure loss.
Tire Dismounting and Mounting
Tire fitting should be left to professionals who have the equipment 
and training to perform the task properly and safely using U.S. Tire 
Manufacturers Association procedures or the vehicle manufacturer’s 
recommendations. To maximize the performance of your tires, they 
must be installed following the tire sidewall markings with respect to

TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all 
tires on a vehicle. Your tires should be thoroughly examined on a lift by 
a tire dealer for any abnormalities. If tires show uneven treadwear, ask 
the service person to check and/or correct any vehicle wheel alignment 
or other mechanical problem before rotation.
The following rotation patterns are acceptable. Please refer to your 
vehicle Owner’s Manual for rotation advice.
