protection throughout the normal use of the tire. Consequently, when
tires sit outdoors, unused for long periods of time (a month or more)
their surfaces become dry and more susceptible to ozone and weather
checking and the casing becomes susceptible to flat spotting. For this
reason, tires should always be stored in a cool, dry, clean, indoor
environment. If storage is for one month or more, eliminate the
weight 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
he
at 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.
FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Tire changing can be dangerous and must be done by professionally
tr
ained persons using proper tools and procedures as specified by
the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA). PAX® System tires
must be mounted and dismounted only by specially trained,
authorized PAX System retailers, utilizing PAX® System
authorized equipment.
Your tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and type and
wh
ich 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 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.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have
ne
w valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires must only be
mounted on wheels designed for tubeless tires i.e., wheels which
have safety humps or ledges. As with any other tire air valve, the
PAX® System valve stem-pressure sensor combination must be in

SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
INCLUDING SPARE TIRES
The following recommendation applies to passenger car and light
tr
uck 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
m a

intenance by consumers, it is recommended to have passenger car
and light truck tires, including spare tires, inspected regularly by a
qualified tire specialist, such as a tire dealer, who will assess the tire’s
suitability for continued service. Tires which have been in use for five
years or more should continue to be inspected by a specialist at least
annually. Consumers are strongly encouraged to be aware not only of
their tires’ visual condition and inflation pressure but also of any
change in dynamic performance such as increased air loss, noise or
vibration, which could be an indication that the tires need to be
removed from service to prevent tire failure. It is impossible to predict
when tires should be replaced based on their calendar age alone.
However the older a tire the greater the chance that it will need to be
replaced due to the service-related evolution or other conditions
found upon inspection or detected during use.
While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years,
i t

is recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the
date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires
as a simple precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even
if they have not reached the legal wear limit. For tires that were on an
original equipment vehicle (i.e., acquired by the consumer on a new
vehicle), follow the vehicle manufacturer’s tire replacement
recommendations, when specified (but not to exceed 10 years).
The date when a tire was manufactured is located on the sidewall of
ea
ch tire. Consumers should locate the Department of Transportation
(DOT) code on the tire which begins with DOT and ends with the
week and year of manufacture. For example, a DOT code ending with
“2204” indicates a tire made in the 22nd week (May) of 2004.

NEXEN TIRE
TOTAL COVERAGE WARRANTY™
(Effective February 1, 2016)

FOR STEEL BELTED RADIAL TIRES MANUFACTURED BY NEXEN
TI

RE

ABOUT NEXEN TOTAL COVERAGE WARRANTY
This limited warranty only applies to the original purchaser of new
re
placement tires sold by NEXEN TIRE USA (as below NEXEN TIRE),
and has been used on the same vehicle that it was originally installed
on.
This warranty applies to tires purchased after February 1st 2016. Tires
pu
rchased before February 1st 2016 are subject to the previous
published warranty.
The Nexen Total Coverage Warranty offers the consumer the
fo
llowing benefits:
Coverage for Defects in Workmanship and Materials
• Mileage Tread Wear Limited Warranty*
•
Road Hazard Replacement Program*
•
Roadside Assistance – Flat Tire Change or Tow Service
*
Most, but not all Nexen Tire patterns come with a Mileage Tread
We
ar Warranty and/or Road Hazard Replacement. Check each
pattern for coverage.
For purposes of this warranty, the term “usable tread life” will be
de
termined as having at least 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread remaining
ev

enly across the tire. If less than 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread remains at
an

y point on the face of the tire, the tire will be considered past its
usable tread life and subject to any and all conditions stated below.
WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS
All NEXEN tires are warranted against defects in workmanship and
ma
terial and will be replaced 100% free of charge for the initial
warranty period which is the first 2/32" (1.6 mm) of original usable
tr

ead life, or within 12 months from the period of purchase, whichever
co

mes first.

NEXEN TIRE
184
After the 100% replacement term expires and the tire is still within
72 months from date of manufacture, the amount of credit will be
de

termined by the percentage of original tread depth remaining on
the tire. Under all circumstances, the cost of mounting, balancing and
any other service charges including applicable taxes are required to be
paid by the consumer.
MILEAGE TREAD WEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Most patterns manufactured by NEXEN TIRE are assigned a mileage
wa
rranty that protects the consumer against premature tread wear.
If a tire reaches the end of its “usable tread life” before the stated
mileage warranty, the consumer will be issued a replacement Nexen
tire on a pro rata basis, which means the consumer will be
responsible for a percentage of the replacement cost. In order to
maintain tread wear warranty, all tires must be rotated at least every
5,000-6,000 miles (8,000-10,000 km). Under all circumstances, the cost
of

mounting, balancing and any other service charges including
applicable taxes are required to be paid by the consumer.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
• Ride complaints after the first 2/32" of tread wear or replacement of
t
hree or more tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted.
• Road hazard damage such as cuts, snags, punctures or tire repair,
b
ruises, impact breaks, etc. Check Road Hazard Replacement
Program for patterns that are covered against this type of damage.
• Premature or irregular wear due to vehicle mechanical deficiencies
o
r failure to rotate the tires at recommended intervals.
• Tires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the
U
nited States.
• Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incor -
r
ect application, water or other material trapped inside the tire
du
ring mounting or failure to balance the tires.
• Damage from over or under inflation, overloading, fire, theft, and
d
efective vehicle mechanical conditions.
• Racing, off road use and misapplications of tire to vehicle.
•
Ozone or weather cracking on tires after 48
months from the date of
ma
nufacture or other abuse, misuse, tire alteration, run flat.
• Any tires worn beyond the wear indicators. Less than 2/32"
r
emaining tread depth.
• Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake lock.

to a toll free phone number to call in case of a flat tire. A qualified
professional will change your flat tire with your spare tire free of
charge. If a working spare is not available, towing will be provided
free of charge to the nearest NEXEN TIRE dealer or authorized place
of repair.
*Nexen Tire reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of
al
l warranties at any time.
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.

Road Hazard Policy For Run Flat Tires Only
Pirelli Run Flat tires are manufactured with technology that allows
li
mited low-inflation operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure.
Pirelli does not recommend the repair of run flat tires and as a result,
Pirelli provides road hazard coverage on all Pirelli produced tires that
are manufactured with run flat technology. To qualify for Run Flat
Road Hazard coverage, a completed claim form along with the tire
exhibiting the road hazard must be returned to Pirelli through an
authorized Pirelli dealer.
If a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or
ma
terials anomalies or road hazard injury during the initial warranty
period, which is one year from the date of original retail purchase of
the vehicle or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt
required) or within the first 2/32” of the original usable tread,
whichever occurs first, the tire will be replaced with the same or
comparable tire at no charge for the tire to the owner. After the initial
warranty period, if a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to
workmanship or materials anomalies or road hazard injury, the owner
must pay the cost of a comparable new Pirelli brand or PTI private
brand replacement tire on a pro-rata basis. The authorized Pirelli
dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the percentage of the
original usable tread worn by the current dealer selling price. The
owner must pay for any associated service charges, including costs
associated with mounting and balancing of the tire. This Road Hazard
Policy is not a warranty. PTI does not warranty that a Pirelli tire will
not fail due to road hazard and does not authorize any person,
including authorized Pirelli dealers, to make such a warranty.
Pirelli “Seal Inside” Technology
Select Pirelli tires incorporate “Seal Inside” technology, a construction
d e

signed to stop the loss of air from a tire when punctured by an
object. Providing the puncture does not compromise the structural
integrity of the tire, a sealing material layer prevents possible air
leakage in the event of a carcass puncture.
The “Seal Inside” technology is not designed or intended to be a
pe
rmanent repair, and is only meant to allow the consumer to go to a
Pirelli dealer for an inspection to determine if repair or replacement is
needed.
