DO NOT OVERLOAD - DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS
DANGEROUS
The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall.
Do
not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions of FCA US
LLC for your vehicle and this will ensure that your tires are not
overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable
loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that
may result in sudden tire destruction.
Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for any axle on your
ve
hicle.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit any Michelin® tire
re
tailer for advice concerning the correct size tire and pressures. Tire
size and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and
hitch utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation
pressure or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and the
owner’s manual supplied by FCA US LLC for your vehicle for further
recommendations on trailer towing.
MICHELIN® PAX® System Tires/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure
(Z
P) Tires and Trailer Towing
Operation of Pax® or ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer
in
tow, is dangerous and is not recommended. If the low pressure
warning indicator is activated when a trailer is in tow, stop, disconnect
the trailer, and do not continue to tow the trailer until the tire has been
repaired and re-inflated to the proper air pressure. If the tire cannot be
repaired, it must be replaced with a new full size, PAX®/ZP tire, and
inflated to the proper air pressure, before the trailer can be safely
towed again.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT
FO
R SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE
EA
CH MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the
ti
re wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These
conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect
the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be
dangerous. If you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your

published warranty.
The Nexen Total Coverage Warranty offers the consumer the
fo
llowing benefits:
Coverage for Defects in Workmanship and Materials

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

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.

If you experience a blowout or a sudden tire failure, the following
information should be helpful:
• When the tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, or feel a
v
ibration, and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed
tire. Do not abruptly brake or turn.
• Maintain steady pressure on the accelerator pedal.
•
Hold the steering wheel firmly and steer to maintain your lane posi -
t
ion.
• Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to gradu -
a
lly decelerate. Apply light braking as required to stop safely.
• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a
d
amaged tire on your vehicle.
• Seek roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your
s
pare tire.
• Have all of your tires and the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a tire
p
rofessional.
TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all
ti
res on a vehicle. Your tires should be thoroughly examined on a lift
by a tire dealer for any abnormalities. If tires show uneven treadwear,
ask the service person to check and/or correct any vehicle wheel
alignment or other mechanical problem before rotation.
The following rotation patterns are acceptable. Please refer to your
ve
hicle Owner’s Manual for rotation advice.

TIRE SPINNING
TOWING OR USE OF SLIDE-IN TRUCK CAMPERS
If you are towing a trailer or using a slide-in truck camper, refer to
y o
ur vehicle Owner’s Manual.
WINTER (SNOW) TIRES Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle
handling. The use of winter tires, studs, and chains,
wh
ile improving traction performance in snow and ice,
requires additional caution and care with regard to
braking, cornering, and speed. It is important to drive
with care not only on snow and ice, but on dry and wet
roads as well.
• T raction is considerably reduced as snow tires approach 50% tread
w
ear, and replacement should be considered in order to maintain
effectiveness in heavy snow conditions.
• Tire speed rating – When lower-speed-rated winter tires replace
h
igher-speed-rated touring and high performance all-season radial
tires, do not exceed the lower-rated speed.
WARNING!
Spinning a tire to remove a vehicle stuck in mud, snow, or wet
gr
ass can be dangerous. This could cause serious personal injury
or death to a bystander or passenger and extensive vehicle
damage. A tire spinning at a speedometer reading above 35 miles
pe
r hour (55 km/h) can reach a speed capable of disintegrating a
ti
re with explosive force within a matter of seconds. Under some
conditions, a tire may be spinning at twice the speed shown on
the speedometer. Never spin a tire above a speedometer reading
of 35 mph (55 km/h). Never allow anyone to stand near or directly
be
hind the spinning tire. Do not spin if a drive wheel is off the
ground.
WARNING!
Studded tires may require longer braking distances on dry or wet
pa
ved surfaces. Failure to allow for adequate braking distance
could result in serious personal injury or death.
