good condition to assure its performance. Always utilize valve caps
capable of containing the tire’s air pressure, should the valve core
leak. The valve cap is the primary seal against air loss.
It is recommended that you have your tires and wheels balanced. Tires
an
d wheels which are not balanced may cause steering difficulties, a
bumpy ride, and irregular tire wear.
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAX® SYSTEM TIRES
PAX System wheels are different from all other wheels. Never attempt
to
mount a non-PAX System tire on a PAX System wheel, or a PAX®
System tire on a non-PAX System wheel. Attempting to do so could
cause serious injury or death. All PAX System components (tire,
wheel, support ring, pressure sensor and gel) must be utilized. Never
utilize a PAX System tire and wheel without every other properly
functioning component part, correctly installed by an Authorized
PAX System retailer. The PAX System must be used on all wheel
positions.
After a low or zero pressure driving event, the PAX System tire and
wh
eel may be hot to the touch. Always allow a PAX® System tire to
cool before attempting to handle it. Failure to do so could result in
injury.

SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF-SUPPORTING
ZE
RO PRESSURE™ (ZP) TIRES

ZP tires can be more difficult to mount than conventional tires. They
sh
ould be mounted and demounted only by a properly trained tire
professional. ZP tires can generate a tremendous amount of heat when
run at low or zero pressure. ALWAYS ALLOW A ZP TIRE TO COOL
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO HANDLE IT. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
MICHELIN® ZP tires are tubeless tires designed to operate in
em
ergency conditions at low or zero air pressure.

MICHELIN® SELF SUPPORTING Zero Pressure™ (ZP) TIRES AND
SP
ECIAL SYMMETRIC HUMP-MODIFIED (SH-M) WHEELS

Some MICHELIN® ZP tires can only perform with zero pressure
ca
pability when mounted on special SH-M wheels. These tires bear
the SH-M designation immediately following the ZP designation on
the sidewall of the tire. DO NOT MOUNT ZP TIRES WITH THE SH-M
DESIGNATION ON STANDARD WHEELS. IN SUCH

MICHELIN®
178
APPLICATIONS, THE TIRES MAY BECOME UNSERVICEABLE AT
LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.

SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICHELIN® TRX™
TI
RES

The MICHELIN® TRX™ tire is a tubeless tire that must only be
mo
unted on special wheels (TR or JM type) with millimetric seat
diameter. If TRX tires are mounted on standard wheels, they will not
retain air due to an air escape feature designed into the bead area of
these tires.
Do not try to override this feature by mounting TRX tires with
tu
bes. The MICHELIN® TRX™ tire must be used on all wheel
positions.
TEMPORARY TYPE SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to follow the
ve
hicle manufacturer’s instructions.
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 US
De
partment 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, eg.: 1995, 1985, etc.) For the 1990-1999 decade MICHELIN®
brand tires are marked with a triangle pointing to the last three
numeric characters. Tires produced after July 2000 have an additional
digit to identify a given decade. For example, 2800 means the tire was
pr

oduced during the 28th week of 2000; 0201 during the 2nd week of
2001. If the last digits of your DOT number contains three numeric
characters and is not marked with a triangle, consult a qualified tire
technician to determine the year of manufacture.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
re
duce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
• Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation
o
r over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended
by vehicle manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular inter -
v
als.
• Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
t
he sidewall of the tire.
• Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
p
otholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
• Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
w
hen 2/32" of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
• Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
s
eparations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to
dismount a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and
contact a local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
• Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the
m
aximum speed justified by driving conditions.
• To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire rota -
t
ion at regular intervals is required.

5. DOT Street Legal Competition Tires
P Zero Trofeo and P Zero Corsa tire lines use special tire construction
an
d compounds to 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.
The minimum tread depth will be reached earlier than normal road
ti
res, resulting in reduced tread life.
6. Winter Tires
The standard Pirelli tires may be effective in light snow conditions.
Ho
wever, for winter use, you may wish to install winter tires. During
winter use, Pirelli strongly recommends the fitment of four winter
tires. 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.
Pirelli requires
that studded tires be installed on all four positions.
Installing studded tires only on the drive positions of any vehicle,
including a front wheel drive vehicle, may cause adverse handling
characteristics.
7. Run Flat Tires
Always refer to the vehicle owners’ manual with respect to specific
sa
fety 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
ve
hicles 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
Pr
essure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The mounting of tires and installation of the TPMS should be carried
ou
t by a specialized dealer.

PIRELLI TIRES

8. Tire Replacement
The tires fitted to your vehicle as original equipment were tested and
ap
proved by the vehicle manufacturer and the tire manufacturer and
take into account all aspects of the vehicle’s operation. Changes in the
tire size, type or construction should not be made without seeking
advice from the vehicle or tire manufacturer or an authorized Pirelli
dealer since unapproved tires on your vehicle could adversely affect
steering, handling, braking and traction. The tire information (tire
size, load index and speed symbol) as found on the vehicle placard or
in the owner’s manual should always be followed when replacing
tires.
It is strongly recommended that Pirelli tires be mounted in sets of four
w i

th the same tread type. Pirelli tires should not be mixed with other
tire brands. It is necessary to follow this procedure because different
tire constructions have different handling characteristics. Tires on the
same axle must be the same manufacturer, brand, tire size, load index,
speed rating and Pirelli part number.

When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is homogeneously fitted
(f
our tires of the same tire size), fit the new tires on the rear axle. This
applies to all vehicles regardless of their drive axle. (Front or Rear Drive).

On all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles the tires must always
be
replaced in sets of four.
When replacing tires on light truck vehicles, you should always follow
th
e vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Passenger and light
truck tires are not interchangeable, due to differences in their
pressures and load carrying capacity.
P-Metric and Euro-metric Interchangeability: Euro-metric (Example:
22
5/45R17) tires have a load index which is equal to or greater than
that of the same size P-metric (Example: P225/45R17) tire. Therefore,
they have the same or higher load carrying capacity at the maximum
rated inflation pressure. Always check with your tire dealer or Pirelli
Tire Consumer Affairs to be sure of the exact interchangeability to
maintain proper vehicle dynamics.
Please be aware that it is important that, before fitting the suggested
ti
res, the fitment is allowed by the technical specifications of the
vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and the relevant homologations.
Pirelli Tire does not express any view as to the compatibility of the
wheel/tire combination with the technical specifications for the
chassis and vehicle.

12. Storage
Should you need to store tires after removal from a vehicle (as in the
ca
se of winter tires), they should be stored in a cool, dry place. 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).
13. Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in Pirelli tires marked
“T
ubeless”. 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.
14. Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels, new tire valves of
th
e correct type must be installed. During your routine tire inspection,
verify that all your valves have proper valve caps. Replace as
necessary, since the valve cap is also a seal against pressure loss.
15. Tire Demounting and Mounting
Tire fitting is best left to professionals who have the proper tools and
eq
uipment to perform the task properly and safely. Your tires should
be mounted or demounted, using Tire and Rubber Association of
Canada procedures or the vehicle manufacturers’ recommendations.
Your wheels should be in good, clean condition. Wheels should be
inspected for distortion, dents, cracks, rust and foreign matter, and be
replaced as necessary. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI WHEN SEATING
BEADS.
16. Tire/Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Tire/Wheel alignment specifications are issued by your vehicle
ma
nufacturer and your vehicle must be kept within these tolerances.
You should have your alignment checked annually or whenever you
notice any irregular wear or vibrations. Tire/Wheel assemblies should
be balanced each time a tire is fitted to a wheel. Tire/Wheel alignment
and balancing are important for safety and maximum performance
and mileage from your tires.
