If a tire is covered, and more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread\
 
has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is more beneficial to 
you), or it has been more than 12 months from the date of purchase, 
Michelin will replace the tire with a comparable new MICHELIN 
replacement tire on a pro rata basis. This means that you will be 
responsible for paying a portion of the cost. The Michelin tire retailer 
will determine the portion for which you will be responsible by 
multiplying the percentage 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. You also will be 
responsible for paying in-full the cost of mounting and balancing the 
tire, and the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes.
How Do I Get A Replacement?
Take your tire to any MICHELIN tire retailer. The retailer will require 
that you provide one or more the following:1.
 The vehicle on which the tire was used,
2.
 Personal identification (e.g. Driver’s License),
3.
 Your vehicle registration,
4.
 Payment if you owe a pro rata share for the replacement,
5.
 A completed Service Record form, and Original Owner/Tire 
Installation Information Form,
6.
 Your original invoice and copy of this Owner’s Manual.
Self-Supporting Tires Zero Pressure (ZP)

Tire Safety And Maintenance
The Importance of Maintaining Safe Tires
The tire is the only contact between your vehicle and the road surface. \
Following the inspection and maintenance instructions in this owner’s 
manual is critical to help ensure safe use and longer tire life. Visit the 
Safe Driving page at michelinman.com for more information about the 
important safety instructions and procedures in this owner’s manual.

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 
tireregistration.com.
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

Reading the Dot
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (prior to August 2000)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX
 (1990-1999)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXXX (after July 2000)
The Dot
The “DOT” symbol certifies tire manufacturer’s compliance with U.S. 
Department of Transportation tire safety standards. Next to the symbol 
is the tire identification or “serial number.” The first two characters 
identify the plant where the tire was manufactured. The next two 
characters reflect the tire size. The following one to four digits may 
be used at the tire manufacturer’s option as a descriptive code. The 
last three characters are numbers identifying the week and year of 
manufacture. (Example: “O25” means second week of the year of 
decade, e.g.: 1995, 1985, etc.) For the 1990-1999 decade MICHELIN
® 
brand tires are marked with a triangle pointing to the last three numeri\
c 
characters. Tires produced after July 2000 have an additional digit 
to identify a given decade. For example, 2800 means the tire was 
produced during the 28th week of 2000; 0201 during the 2nd week 
of 2001. If the last digits of your DOT number contain three numeric 
characters and are not marked with a triangle, consult a qualified tire 
professional to determine the year of manufacture.
Service Life for Passenger Car and Light Truck Tires 
Including Spare Tires
Tires are composed of various types of material and rubber 
compounds having performance properties essential to the proper 
functioning of the tire itself. These component properties evolve over 
time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors such 
as weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, 
inflation pressure, maintenance etc.) to which the tire is subjected 
throughout its life. This service-related evolution varies widely so that 
accurately predicting the serviceable life of any specific tire in advance 
is not possible. That is why, in addition to regular inspections and 
inflation pressure maintenance by consumers, it is recommended
