of internal damage will require dismounting of the tire and
examination by trained tire personnel.
•
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause the tire
beads to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on
the rim. Tire and rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads. Do not
exceed the maximum recommended pressure to seat the beads.
Only trained tire personnel should mount tires.
•
Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32nd inch (1.6 mm) of tread
depth) increases the probability of tire failure.
•
Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible
tire failure.
•
Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500
miles (8,000 to 12,000 kilometers).
•
The Maxxis brand temporary spare tire weighs less than a
conventional radial tire. The temporary tire should be used only in
emergencies and returned to the trunk as soon as it is convenient
to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.

vehicle owner’s manual and is on a placard located in the vehicle’s
door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door. If
you have plus-size tires that require a higher inflation pressure, your
tire pressure monitoring system will require re-calibration to the new
proper inflation pressure. Refer to your tire dealer/installer of plus-size
tires for proper inflation pressure. You should check air pressure in all
your tires, including the spare, once each month and before every long
trip. Regardless whether your spare is a full-size spare or a mini-spare,
make sure that it is properly inflated. If the TPMS generates improper
monitoring or signals, you should consult your vehicle owner’s manual
and follow up with your vehicle’s manufacturer.
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels at more than 35 mph (55 km/hr) as indicated
on your vehicle’s speedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running,
unloaded tire can cause it to “explode” from centrifugal force. The
energy released by such an explosion may cause serious physical
injury or death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind a spinning
tire. When in mud, sand, snow, ice, or another slippery condition,
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-
enduring 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.
High Speed Driving Is Dangerous
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard is more
difficult to avoid, and if tire contact is made with it, there is 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.

Unlimited Z or (Y) tires. Speed rating is identified as a part of the tire’s
sizing or service description. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neith\
er
recommended nor endorsed.
In the latest attempt to standardize tire designations, all ratings exce\
pt
Unlimited Z incorporate the speed symbol and load index as the tire’ s
service description.
For Example:
“Z” Rated Tires
When “Z” appears in the size description with the service descript\
ion,
the maximum speed is indicated by the service description.
Examples:
For tires having a maximum speed capability above 240 km/hr (149
mph), a “Z” may appear in the size designation.
For tires having a maximum speed capability above 300 km/hr (186
mph), a “Z” must appear in the size designation and the service
description must include Y in parenthesis. Example: 275/40ZR18
(99Y). Consult the tire manufacturer for maximum speed when there is
no service description.

Tires loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular
application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire \
failure and an accident. Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for \
any axle on your vehicle.
Trailer Towing
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit your Michelin tire
retailer for advice about the correct tire size and pressures. Tire size
and pressures will depend on the type and size of trailer and hitch
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure
or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire information placard
that came on your vehicle, (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door) and the owner’s
manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further
recommendations on trailer towing.
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) Tires and Trailer Towing
Operation of ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in tow
is dangerous and should be avoided. If the low pressure warning
indicator is activated when a trailer is in tow, stop, disconnect the
trailer, and do not continue to tow the trailer until the tire has been
properly repaired and re-inflated to the proper inflation. If the tire
cannot be properly repaired, it must be replaced with a new full-size,
matching ZP tire, and inflated to the proper inflation, before the trailer
can be safely towed again.

Wheel Alignment and Balancing Are Important for
Safety and Maximum Mileage from Your Tires.

Check How Your Tires Are Wearing at Least
Once Each Month
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the
tire wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessi\
ve
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These
conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the
handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If
you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance
checked immediately. Tires which have been run underinflated will
show more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread. Read
and follow the instructions on tire rotation and replacement below.
Tire Mixing
MICHELIN® tires are radial tires. For best, safe performance, the same
size and type of tire should be used on all four wheel positions, and th\
e
full size spare should be the same size and type. Before mixing tires
of different types in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check
the vehicle manufacturer’s owner‘s manual for its recommendations.
It is especially important to check the vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s
manual when mixing, matching, or replacing tires on 4-wheel drive
vehicles, as this may require special precautions.
SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE™ (ZP) TIRES SHOULD NOT
BE MIXED WITH NON-ZP TIRES OTHER THAN THE TEMPORARY
USE OF THE PROPERLY INFLATED SPARE IF THE VEHICLE IS
SO EQUIPPED.
Winter Driving
Tires that meet the US Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA)

size mounted on the front versus the rear axles, and these different
tires have rotation restrictions. Always check the vehicle owner’s
manual for the proper rotation recommendations.
Full-Size Spare
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and
construction should be used in a five-tire rotation and should be
inspected by a tire professional during routine tire inspection. Always
have spare tires inspected before installation. Tires are composed
of various types of rubber compounds and other materials having
performance properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire. \
These component properties change over time. Always check the
inflation pressure of the full-size spare and look for any indication of
cracking or other damage immediately before incorporating the spare
into rotation. If you see any damage, or if the tire is underinflated, do
not resume driving with that tire unless you have no other option, in
which case you should drive only as slowly as is safely possible in the \
traffic conditions until you can both get the spare tire properly inflated
and have it checked by a tire professional to ensure that it is safe
to use. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pattern for
rotation. If such a recommendation is unavailable, see a qualified
tire professional.

Replacement of Two Tires
All four tires should be replaced at the same time. However, if only
two tires are replaced, the new ones should be put on the rear.
Deeper tread tires on the rear axle provide better handling, wet grip
and evacuate water, thereby helping to avoid oversteer and loss of
vehicle stability on wet surfaces. Deeper tread tires on the front axle \
can improve wet straight line braking and stopping distance. If only
two tires are being replaced, Michelin generally recommends they be
installed on the rear axle in the absence of a tire service professional’ s
recommendation or consumer’s preference to the contrary.

Customization of Tires, Wheels, or Suspension on
SUVs and Light Trucks
Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as
SUVs and light trucks do not have the same handling characteristics
as automobiles. Because of these different characteristics, failure to
operate your SUV or truck in a proper and safe manner can increase
the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Modifications to your SUV or truck
tire size, tire type, wheels or suspension can change your vehicle’s
handling characteristics and further increase the likelihood of vehicle \
rollover. Whether your SUV or truck has the original equipment
configuration for tires, wheels and suspension or whether any of these
items have been modified, always drive safely, avoid sudden, sharp
turns or lane changes and obey all traffic laws. Failure to do so may
result in loss of vehicle control leading to an accident and serious injury
or death.
Tire Alterations
Do not make or allow to be made any alterations on your tires.
Alterations may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage
that can result in an accident. Tires that become unserviceable due
to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing
or sealant liquids, or the use of tire dressing containing petroleum
distillates, are excluded from warranty coverage.

from the tires by raising the vehicle or by removing the tires from the \
vehicle. Failure to store tires in accordance with these instructions
could result in damage to your tires or premature aging of the tires
and sudden tire failure. When tires are stored, be sure they are placed \
away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes and electric
generators. Be sure that surfaces on which tires are stored are clean
and free from grease, gasoline or other substances which could
deteriorate the rubber. Tires exposed to these materials during storage
or driving could be subject to sudden failure.
One reason why your spare tire should be included in the tire rotation
schedule is that temperatures in a vehicle’s closed trunk, especially
in sunny geographical areas, can become high enough so that, over
a sustained period, they can cause small cracks or other changes to
the properties of a tire stored in the trunk. An accumulation of such
changes can weaken the tire and, especially if the tire is not kept
properly inflated, make it unsafe to use when it is needed.
Proper Tire Mounting
Tire mounting can be dangerous and must be done by professionally
trained persons using proper tools and procedures as specified by the
US Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA).
Your tires should be mounted on wheels that are the correct size
and type and are in good, clean condition. Wheels that are bent,
chipped, rusted (steel wheels) or corroded (alloy wheels) may cause
tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign material.
Have your tire retailer check the wheels before mounting new tires.
Mismatched tires and rims can explode during mounting. Also,
mismatched tires and rims can result in dangerous tire failure on
the road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do not
remount it on the proper rim – scrap it. It may have been damaged
internally (which is not externally visible) by having been dangerously
stretched and could fail on the highway, resulting in an accident.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have
new valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires must be
mounted only on wheels designed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels that
