• Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based
on the wear rate of the tire tested under controlled conditions on
a specified government test track. For example, a tire graded
200 would wear twice as long on the government course as a
tire graded 100. It is wrong to link treadwear grades with your
projected tire mileage. The relative performance of the tires
depends upon the actual conditions of their use and may vary
due to driving habits, service practices, differences in road
characteristics, and climate.
•
Traction - The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B,
and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled conditions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
• Temperature - The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and
C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high
temperatures can cause the materials of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance that all
passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 139. Grades B and A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.

Other Warranties
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTY
GIVEN BY PIRELLI. PIRELLI DOES NOT MAKE ANY OTHER
EXPRESS WARRANTY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE APPLICABLE DURATION OF
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. PIRELLI DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANY
OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING AUTHORIZED PIRELLI DEALERS
OR VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS, OR VEHICLE DEALERS, TO
CHANGE THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR CREATE ANY OTHER
OBLIGATION IN CONNECTION WITH PIRELLI TIRES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
What Is the Standard Limited Warranty Coverage?
If an eligible Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship
or material defects within the first year from the date of purchase
or within the first 2/32” of the original usable tread , whichever
occurs first, the tire will be replaced with an identical or comparable
Pirelli tire at no charge to the owner, including mounting and balancing
(subject to applicable limitations). Miscellaneous fees and taxes are
not covered under this Limited Warranty.
If a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or material
defects (other than ride-related complaints and Road Hazard) following
the initial warranty period above, the owner must pay the pro-rata
cost for a comparable Pirelli Replacement Tire. Owner is responsible
for mounting and balancing charges. An authorized Pirelli dealer will
determine the pro-rata cost by multiplying the percentage of
the original usable tread that has been worn by the current dealer
selling price.
When the treadwear indicators become visible (2/32” tread depth
remaining), regardless of age or mileage, the tire is considered to be \
100% worn and will not be covered by this Limited Warranty.

CAUTION :
Please be aware that it is important before fitting the suggested tires,
to ensure that the fitting is allowed by the technical specifications of
the vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and relevant laws/regulations.
Pirelli does not express any view as to the compatibility of the wheel/
tire combination with the technical specifications for the chassis
and vehicle.
TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRYING
CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS HAVE A LOAD
INDEX AND SPEED RATING THAT EQUALS OR EXCEEDS THAT
OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES OF THE VEHICLE. FOR
ADDITIONAL TIRE CARE RECOMMENDATIONS, PLEASE REFER
TO THE “TIRE CARE AND SERVICE” SECTION BELOW.
How to Initiate a Claim Under This Limited Warranty
To initiate a warranty claim, the Pirelli tire(s) must be returned to an
authorized Pirelli dealer. If the tire(s) are covered by this Limited
Warranty, the authorized Pirelli dealer will submit the tire to Pirelli.
Pirelli’s Tire Inspection Personnel will then provide the remedy if the
tire is covered by this Limited Warranty.
In order to initiate a claim under the terms of this Limited Warranty,
you must present the affected Pirelli tire(s) along with the proof of
purchase to an authorized Pirelli dealer. Once tires are returned to
Pirelli by an authorized Pirelli dealer and credit has been issued to
such dealer, submitted tires become the property of Pirelli. To locate
an authorized Pirelli dealer in your area, refer to the Dealer Locator a\

REMEDY LIMITATIONS (Effective 2/01/2019)
THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES STATED IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY ARE PIRELLI’S ONLY RESPONSIBILITY, AND YOUR
ONLY REMEDIES. ALL OTHER REMEDIES ARE EXCLUDED.
IN NO EVENT SHALL PIRELLI BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGE(S) IN
CONNECTION WITH A PIRELLI TIRE, WHETHER FOR BREACH

For Example:
Load Index Number: a numeric code which indicates the maximum
load carrying capacity of a tire at the maximum cold inflation pressure.
Speed Symbol: an alphabetical code which indicates the maximum
speed at which the tire can carry a load corresponding to its Load
Index when properly inflated. These two items together are known as
the “Service Description”.
Speed Symbol Chart
*For tires having a maximum speed capability above 149 mph, a “ZR”
may appear in the size designation; above 186 mph, a “ZR” must
appear in the size designation, and a Service Description, including the\

“Y” speed symbol, must be included in brackets.
Other Markings
•
P - As part of the tire size designation (e.g., P205/65R15), is used
to indicate tires intended for service on passenger cars.
•
LT - As part of the tire size designation (e.g. LT235/75R15), is used
to indicate the tires are intended for service on light truck vehicles.
•
M&S, M+S, M/S - Letters used to indicate a tire suitable for Mud
and Snow and/or All Season usage.
•
XL - As part of the size designation (e.g. P235/75R16 XL), is used
to indicate the tire can carry more load as the maximum inflation

achieve their distinctive performance in dry conditions. As a result of
that, their performance in cold temperatures, heavy rain or standing
water will be decreased. Use extreme caution and drive slowly on wet
roads. Additionally, the minimum tread depth will be reached earlier
than with standard road tires, resulting in reduced tread life.
Winter Tires
In low temperature conditions, Pirelli recommends the fitment of
4 winter tires of the same line. Please check your vehicle owner’s
manual concerning winter tire size recommendation. If the winter tires
have a lower speed rating than the original equipment tires, vehicle
handling may be affected, and the vehicle maximum speed must be
reduced to the winter tire speed rating.
If using studded winter tires, Pirelli recommends that studded tires be \
installed on all four positions.
Please note that studded tires are not legal in all states. Please
check the applicable legal requirements before installing
studded tires.
Please note, for both winter tire and studded tire usage, if such tires \
are applied to the front axle, they must also be applied to the rear axle.
Run Flat Tires
Always refer to the vehicle owner’s manual with respect to specific
safety and operating information relating to the vehicle. Damaged Run
Flat tires or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of pressure
should immediately be replaced with another Run Flat tire of identical
size and Service Description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat tires have been developed based on the specifications of
the vehicles on which they are mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat tires
should only be mounted on vehicles specifically manufactured to
accommodate Run Flat tires.
Run Flat tires must be mounted in conjunction with a functional Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

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
