Wheel Alignment and Balancing Are Important for
Safety and Maximum Mileage From Your Tires
Inspect Your Tires Regularly
At least once a month inspect your tires closely for signs of uneven
wear. Uneven wear patterns may be caused by improper inflation
pressures, misalignment, improper balance or suspension neglect.
If not corrected, further tire damage will occur. These conditions not
only shorten the life of your tires, they adversely affect the handling
characteristics of your vehicle which could be dangerous.
If any of these conditions exist, the cause may often be corrected at
your tire dealer’s or other service facility. Your tires will then last longer.
Tire Rotation
If irregular wear becomes apparent or if the rate of wear on the tires
is uneven, the tires should be rotated to alleviate the problem. Check
your vehicle for any mechanical problems and correct if necessary. The
rotation pattern or procedure indicated in your limited warranty and the\

vehicle manufacturers’ owner’s manual should be followed. For tires
on front wheel drive vehicles and/or all season tires on any vehicle, it\
is
recommended that these tires be rotated every 8,000 miles to equalize
the rate of wear.
Tire Mixing Can Be Dangerous
Most passenger tires today are radial tires and for best performance it \
is recommended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four
wheel positions unless different sizes, front and rear, were specified
as original equipment. Check the vehicle placard. If only two radials
are mounted with two non-radials, the radials should be mounted
on the rear. If tires of different types are mixed on a vehicle in any
configuration, they should not be used for long periods and speeds
should be kept to a minimum.
Mixing or matching of tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles may require
special precautions. Always check vehicle manufacturers’ Owner’s
Manual for their recommendations.

Warranty Claim Procedure
• You must present the Tire to a Vehicle Manufacturer Dealer or a
Maxxis Dealer.
•
You must present proof of the date of your purchase of the Vehicle
(car dealer invoice). If you do not present this proof, the warranty
claim will be considered only if the Tire is within five years of its
date of manufacture.
•
You must present the Tire that is the subject of the warranty
claim and all service and maintenance records required by this
Limited Warranty.
•
If there is no Maxxis Dealer or Vehicle Manufacturer Dealer near
you, call the Maxxis Technology Center at 1-866-509-7067.
Safety Maintenance Information
Improper tire mounting and inflation and overloading may cause
serious injury or property damage. Maxxis recommends that you
read and follow all safety information contained in the tire safety
information section of this booklet, vehicle placard in the Vehicle
and/or the Vehicle Owner’s Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following: •
Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an
accurate tire air pressure gauge. Do not reduce pressure when
tires are hot. Proper inflation is essential. Under inflation produces
flexing of the sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Over inflation can cause the tire
to be more susceptible to impact damage.
•
Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and
maximum inflation pressure are molded into the sidewall of your
tire. Overloading builds up excessive heat and can lead to early
tire failure.
•
Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and
curbs) which may cause internal tire damage. Continued use
of a tire that has suffered internal damage, which may not be
visible externally, can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination

MAXXIS
11 6
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.

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;
•
The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air,
nitrogen or carbon dioxide (for example, waterbase sealers or
balancing substances);
•
Minor cosmetic ozone or weather cracking;
•
Use of MICHELIN® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires
without a properly operating low air pressure warning system.
•
Use of MICHELIN tires that is inconsistent with the safety and/or
maintenance information provided in your owner’s manual.
Other limitations include but are not limited to the following: •
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.

MICHELIN
11 9
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)
As the purchaser of a MICHELIN
® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP)
passenger tire, mounted on a vehicle approved for ZP tires, equipped
with a properly operating low tire pressure warning system, you are
covered by this warranty. Please pay close attention to the Owner’s
Manual part of this booklet since it provides specific safety and
maintenance information for your ZP tires.
MICHELIN
® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires are part of a
very sophisticated system which is designed to provide a very simple
benefit: Peace of Mind. With these tires, you can maneuver the vehicle
up to 50 miles (80 kilometers) at 55 mph (90 kph), unless otherwise
specified in your vehicle owner’s manual, even though the tire has lost

MICHELIN
124
visible damage. Bumps, bulges, or cracks in any tire may indicate
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified
tire professional. If any tire, including the spare, has bumps, bulges, \
cracks, or other visible damage, do not resume driving with that tire. I\
f
you have no other option, you should drive as slowly and cautiously as
possible until you can obtain towing or mechanical assistance. If the
spare tire is not properly inflated, 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.
Proper Inflation
Driving On Any Tire That Does Not Have The Correct
Inflation Pressure Is Dangerous
An underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in
sudden tire failure and an accident. If your tires are those that came
as original equipment on your vehicle when it was new, refer to 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),
for the recommended operating pressures. For replacement tires,
ask your Michelin tire retailer for the correct inflation pressure; if you
do not, refer to 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), for the recommended operating pressures.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. Never
exceed the Maximum Pressure rating stated on the tire sidewall. Note
that proper inflation pressures for rear tires may differ from proper
inflation pressures for front tires. The Maximum Pressure rating on the
tire is normally not equal to the placard pressure.

MICHELIN
125
Check the Cold Inflation Pressure 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
failure, loss of vehicle control, and an accident. Therefore, inflation
pressures should be checked at least once each month and before
every long-distance trip. This applies to all tires, including sealant
types and self-supporting tires, which are as susceptible to losing air
pressure as any other type of tire if not properly maintained. Pressures\

should be checked before the tires have been driven on or after they
have been allowed to cool down to the ambient air temperature.
Driving for even a short distance causes tires to heat up and their air \
pressure to increase, and recommended tire pressures are for tires
that have not been heated by recent driving on them.
Underinflation and Overinflation Must Be Checked
with a Tire Pressure Gauge
Tires must be checked monthly with a tire pressure gauge. 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 overinflated. Use an accurate tire pressure
gauge to check tire pressure each month. Small and inexpensive tire
pressure gauges are available. You should keep one in your vehicle’s
glove box or trunk and use it monthly and as otherwise needed.
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure™ (ZP) Tires at Low
or Zero Air Pressure
The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated Self-
Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire (whether front or rear) are not
the same as those of a vehicle with normally inflated tires. Avoid
high speeds and hard cornering whenever a low-pressure warning is
activated. Even a Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire can build
up excessive heat when run underinflated for an extended period of
time. The length of time and distance a Self-Supporting Zero Pressure
(ZP) tire will perform at low or zero inflation will depend on the severity

MICHELIN
126
of the event causing air loss, the ambient temperature, the speed at
which the tire is operated, and the conditions under which the tire
is operated. In particular, hard braking, cornering, and other sharp
maneuvers will greatly reduce the length of time the tire can perform at\

low or zero inflation. Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead
to sudden tire failure and an accident. If a tire at low or zero pressur\
e
begins to vibrate or cause difficulty in vehicle handling, replace it
immediately with the temporary spare. If Self-Supporting Zero Pressure
(ZP) tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the vehicle
owner’s manual for complete details on the low tire pressure warning
system designed to alert you in the event of a low pressure condition.
MICHELIN
® SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE™ (ZP) TIRES
MUST BE USED ONLY WITH AN OPERATIONAL, MICHELIN
APPROVED, LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM. Otherwise,
all provisions of the limited warranty are void. For a list of approved \
systems, see your Michelin tire retailer or call 1-800-847- 3435. NOTE:
Some MICHELIN Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires can only be
mounted on special SH-M (Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels. These
tires bear the special SH-M designation, molded into the sidewall of
the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT A TIRE WITH
THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON THE SIDEWALL ON A STANDARD
WHEEL. DOING SO VOIDS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND COULD
CAUSE THE TIRE TO BECOME UNSERVICEABLE AT LOW OR
ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH. For a list of approved systems, see your participating
Michelin
® tire retailer, or call 1-800-847-3435. For all types of tires,
consult your vehicle owner’s manual or 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) for recommended
operating pressures. Recommended operating pressures will be
provided by a Michelin tire retailer for self-supporting ZP tires. These
inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. Never exceed
the Maximum Pressure rating shown on the tire sidewall.
