WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY

Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may cause tire beads
to break with explosive force during installation of the tire on the rim,
causing personal injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) installation and safety procedure for
mounting and inflating tires. 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
beads on rim. Use remote control inflation equipment and inflation
cage.
NOTE:
• Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads.
• Mount radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel manufac -
t
urer as suitable for radial tire.
• O nly specially trained persons shall mount tires.
• AIR PRESSURE
Check the pressure in your tires, including your spare, at least
mo

KUMHO TIRES
Kumho And Marshal Brand Limited Warranty
Congratulations! You have just
purchased high quality tires
fr
om Kumho Tire USA Inc. This
limited warranty covers the
KUMHO and Marshal brand of passenger and light truck tires.
I. WHAT IS WARRANTED AND WHO IS ELIGIBLE UNDER THIS
WA
RRANTY
Kumho Tire USA Inc., 10299 6th Street, Rancho Cucamonga,
Ca
lifornia 91730, warrants to the original consumer purchaser that all
KUMHO replacement radial tires either directly or through an
authorized KUMHO dealer, and which are mounted on cars within
the USA, and becomes unserviceable for any reason within the
manufacturer’s control, such tire will be replaced with an equivalent
KUMHO tire.
WHAT IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND HOW LONG
Should any tire manufactured by Kumho Tire Co., Inc. covered by this
wa
rranty become unserviceable due to a material or workmanship
condition during its useable tread life (more than 2/32" remaining
tread) before six years from the date of manufacture or purchase date
supported with proof of purchase for every passenger and light truck
tire (whichever comes first), and before five years (six years for
KLS02e, KLD01e, and KLT02e patterns) from the date of manufacture
or purchase date for commercial truck tires (whichever comes first),
KUMHO will do either of the following:
1. D uring the first 2/32" of the original usable tread, Kumho will
r
eplace such tire with a comparable new KUMHO or Marshal tire
free of charge. Applicable taxes on the new tire and costs of
mounting and balancing and any other service charges are payable
by the owner.
2. After the first 2/32" of the original usable tread, a credit percentage
w
ill be given toward the purchase price of a comparable new
Kumho or Marshal tire effective at the time of adjustment Appli -
cable taxes on the new tire and costs of mounting and balancing
se
rvice are payable by the owner.

service. The distance that can safely be traveled following an air loss
incident will depend upon the conditions under which the vehicle is
operating, the degree of air loss, the extent of the damage causing the
air loss, the ambient temperature, the load, and the operating speed of
the vehicle. The fewer miles you travel after an air loss incident, the
greater the likelihood that the tire can be re-inflated (or, if punctured,
repaired) and returned to service.
Pax® System
The Michelin® PAX® System is a very sophisticated system that
in
cludes the tire, support ring and gel, pressure sensing device, and
wheel. In the event of a loss of tire air pressure, with this system you
can still carefully maneuver the vehicle at speeds up to 55 mph
(9
0 km/h), for a distance of up to 125 miles (201 km), even though a
ti
re has lost all air! That means time to get off the highway and get to
a place where the tire can be inspected, replaced, or possibly repaired
and returned to service. That is peace of mind!

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.
